Reliable battery backup systems that automatically protect your basement during storms and outages.
You know that sinking feeling when the power goes out during a heavy storm. Your primary sump pump stops working right when you need it most. Water starts rising in your basement while you’re scrambling for flashlights and wondering if everything down there will be ruined by morning.
A properly installed battery backup sump pump eliminates that anxiety completely. When your main pump loses power, the backup system kicks in automatically. No intervention needed from you. No frantic middle-of-the-night trips to the basement with a bucket.
Your basement stays dry. Your belongings stay safe. Your foundation stays protected. You get real peace of mind knowing that your home has reliable protection even when Wayne, IL gets hit with severe weather and widespread power outages.
We’ve been protecting Wayne, IL homes from basement flooding for years. We understand the unique challenges that come with our local soil conditions, weather patterns, and the way homes are built in this area.
We’re not the cheapest option in town, and that’s intentional. You’re investing in proper installation, quality components, and technicians who show up when you call. When your basement backup system needs to work, it works.
Our team handles everything from initial assessment to final testing. We pull permits when required, follow local codes, and make sure your system integrates seamlessly with your existing sump pump setup.
We start by evaluating your current sump pump setup and basement layout. Every home is different, and the backup system needs to work with what you already have in place. We’ll measure your sump pit, check your existing discharge lines, and determine the best battery backup configuration for your specific situation.
Installation typically takes a few hours. We position the backup pump in your existing sump pit alongside your primary pump, but at a slightly higher activation level. The battery and control unit get mounted nearby on your basement wall. We connect everything to your existing discharge system and run thorough tests to make sure both pumps work independently and together.
Before we leave, we’ll walk you through the system operation and maintenance requirements. You’ll know exactly how to check battery levels, what the alarm signals mean, and when to call us for service. We also provide clear instructions for testing your backup system periodically to ensure it’s ready when needed.

Your battery backup sump pump installation includes the backup pump unit, deep-cycle marine battery, intelligent control system, and battery charger. We use components designed specifically for basement environments – they handle moisture, temperature changes, and extended periods of inactivity without problems.
The control system monitors your primary pump and automatically switches to battery backup when it detects pump failure or power loss. You’ll get audible and visual alarms if the backup system activates, so you know what’s happening even if you’re not in the basement. Most systems provide 6-8 hours of continuous pumping time, which covers the majority of power outages in the Wayne area.
We also include a full system test, operation manual, and maintenance schedule. The battery typically needs replacement every 3-5 years depending on usage, and we can handle that service when the time comes. Everything is designed to work together reliably for years with minimal maintenance from you.
