“My basement started to flood” — now what?

Storms always seem to hit at the worst time. Water rises in the sump pit, the pump either can’t keep up or completely quits, and suddenly you’re throwing down towels and moving boxes off the floor. A failed sump pump turns your basement into a “what if?” nightmare: ruined flooring, damaged storage, mold, and a huge insurance headache.

Maybe you’ve already tried a quick DIY pump swap or hoped the old unit would make it through “one more season.” But if your sump pump is undersized, poorly installed, or simply worn out, every heavy rain is a gamble. You shouldn’t have to hold your breath every time the radar turns green and red.

The Omaha Drain solution: a sump system built for your home.

  • Correctly sized sump pump matched to your pit, drainage system, and how often your pump runs during a storm.
  • Battery backup sump pump that takes over when the power goes out or the main pump fails — no more “fingers crossed” during wind and lightning.
  • Code-compliant discharge & check valve so water flows out and stays out instead of cycling back into the pit.
  • Upfront options & pricing before we start — you choose the protection level that fits your basement and your budget.
Battery Backup Sump Pumps

Why a battery backup sump pump is your basement’s safety net.

Most flooded basements in Omaha don’t happen because there was no sump pump — they happen when the power goes out or the main pump silently fails in the middle of the storm. A battery backup sump pump system is a second, independent pump powered by a dedicated battery that automatically kicks on when your primary pump can’t.

  • Runs when the power is out — storms that knock out the grid are exactly when you need pumping power the most.
  • Monitors your main pump and takes over if it fails, jams, or can’t keep up with incoming water.
  • Buys you hours of protection so you’re not racing home from work or waking up to standing water.
  • Protects finished basements, stored belongings, furnaces, water heaters, and electrical panels from expensive water damage.

How It Works

See how your sump pump and backup protect your basement.

Think of your sump system as a tiny pump station under your house. Water flows into the pit, your primary pump throws it out through a discharge line, and your battery backup sump pump is standing by if anything goes wrong. When all three pieces work together, your basement stays dry — even when the street outside looks like a river.

This simplified “basement view” helps you see what we look at during an installation or replacement visit.

FAQ

Sump pump & battery backup FAQ.

Do I really need a battery backup sump pump?

If your basement would be expensive or stressful to flood — finished floors, storage, mechanical equipment — then a battery backup sump pump is one of the best investments you can make. It keeps pumping when the power is out or the main pump fails, dramatically reducing the chance of water on the floor during a big storm.

How long does a typical sump pump installation take?

Most standard sump pump replacements take about 60–90 minutes. Adding a battery backup sump pump system, new discharge, or pit modifications can extend the visit, but in many cases we can complete everything in a single trip.

Can you install a sump pump the same day?

In many cases, yes. We keep sump pumps and common battery backup sump pump packages on our trucks. Same-day installation depends on schedule and parts availability, but if your basement is actively taking on water we do everything possible to get there fast.

How often should I replace my sump pump?

Most sump pumps last around 7–10 years, but heavy use, iron-rich water, and poor installation can shorten their life. If your pump is older than 10 years, noisy, constantly running, or you’ve had close calls with flooding, it’s a good idea to replace it before it fails in the middle of a storm.

Do you offer warranties and maintenance tips?

Yes. We provide written warranty details on your pump and labor, and our techs walk you through basic checks — what the alarm sounds like, how high water should be in the pit, and when to call us. Many homeowners snap a quick photo of the system after we label it so they remember what “normal” looks like.
