Reliable battery backup sump pump systems that automatically protect your home during outages and storms.
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 hoping the power comes back on.
A battery backup sump pump system eliminates that panic. 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. You get real peace of mind knowing your home is protected even when the grid isn’t reliable. That’s what a properly installed sump pump with battery backup delivers every single time.
We’ve been protecting West Chicago homes from basement flooding for years. We understand how Chicago’s clay soil, aging infrastructure, and severe weather patterns create the perfect storm for basement water problems.
Our team installs and services battery backup sump pump systems throughout DuPage County. We’ve seen what works and what doesn’t when it comes to keeping basements dry during power outages.
You’re not getting a generic installation from us. You’re getting a system designed specifically for your basement’s needs and our area’s unique challenges.
We start by evaluating your current sump pump setup and basement layout. Every home is different, and the best battery backup sump pump configuration depends on your specific situation.
Next, we install the backup pump system alongside your existing primary pump. The battery backup connects to a deep-cycle marine battery that’s designed to run the pump for hours during extended outages. We position everything so the backup activates automatically when your main pump stops working.
Finally, we test the entire system to make sure it switches over properly. We’ll walk you through how it works and what to expect during an actual power outage. The whole process typically takes a few hours, and you’ll have reliable flood protection that works whether the power is on or off.
Ready to get started?
Your battery backup sump pump installation includes the backup pump, deep-cycle battery, automatic switching system, and all necessary plumbing connections. We use marine-grade batteries that are built to handle the repeated charging and discharging cycles that backup systems require.
The system monitors your primary pump continuously. When it detects a failure or power loss, it activates the battery-powered backup pump within seconds. Most quality systems can run for 8-12 hours on a full charge, depending on how much water they’re pumping.
We also set up the system with an alarm that alerts you when the backup is running. This way you know the system is working and can plan accordingly until power is restored. Regular maintenance keeps the battery charged and the pump ready to go when you need it most.
