Automatic backup protection that kicks in when your primary pump fails or power cuts out during storms.
You know that sinking feeling when the power goes out during a heavy rain. Your primary sump pump stops working right when you need it most. Your finished basement, stored belongings, and years of memories sit vulnerable in the dark.
A battery backup sump pump changes that completely. When your main pump fails or loses power, the backup system automatically takes over. No intervention needed from you. No racing to the basement in the middle of the night.
The battery-powered backup keeps pumping water out of your basement for hours, even during extended outages. You get real protection when it matters most, plus the peace of mind that comes with knowing your basement stays dry no matter what Illinois weather throws at you.
We’ve been protecting Streamwood basements from flooding for years. We understand how Illinois storms hit this area and what homeowners here face when their sump pumps fail.
Every battery backup system we install gets tested before we leave your property. We use quality components that handle the demands of Chicago-area weather patterns. Our team knows the local building codes and manufacturer specifications that ensure your backup system works when you need it.
You get straightforward service from plumbers who live and work in this community. No runaround, no overselling, just reliable backup protection installed right the first time.
First, we assess your existing sump pump setup and basement layout. We determine the right battery backup system size for your specific needs and install it alongside your primary pump in the same pit.
The backup system connects to a dedicated battery that stays charged and ready. When your primary pump stops working or loses power, sensors automatically trigger the battery backup to start pumping. The whole switch happens in seconds without any action from you.
We test the entire system before finishing the job. You see exactly how the backup activates and how long the battery runs. We show you the simple maintenance steps and explain what to watch for. The system includes warning alarms that alert you if the backup pump is running or if battery power gets low.
Ready to get started?
Your battery backup installation includes the backup pump, dedicated battery, charging system, and control panel with alarm features. We handle all electrical connections and ensure proper drainage alongside your existing primary pump.
Each system comes with clear instructions for basic maintenance like checking battery connections and testing the alarm functions. The battery typically lasts 3-5 years depending on usage, and we can replace it when needed.
Most Streamwood homes need a backup system that can run 6-8 hours on battery power. We size the system based on your basement’s water intrusion patterns and your primary pump’s capacity. You get a backup that actually handles your specific flooding risks, not a one-size-fits-all solution.
