Basement Starting to Flood? Your Sump Pump Can’t Wait.
Heavy rain, melting snow, or a high water table can quickly turn a small sump pump problem into a soaked carpet, ruined storage, and stress you don’t need. Maybe you hear strange noises, the pump runs constantly, or worst of all, the pit fills up and nothing happens.
You shouldn’t have to live with the fear that the next storm will send water pouring into your basement. When your sump pump fails, you need a local team that shows up fast, explains what’s going on in plain language, and fixes it right the first time.

Why a Battery Backup Sump Pump Is Essential in Omaha.
Most flooded basements happen during storms — the exact time your power is most likely to go out. A standard sump pump is useless without electricity, and even a healthy pump can fail from age, clogs, or a stuck float.
A battery backup sump pump is your safety net. When the primary pump fails or the power goes down, the backup automatically kicks on and continues pumping water out of your home for hours, dramatically lowering your risk of costly damage.
- Keeps pumping during power outages, storms, and blown breakers.
- Provides redundancy if the primary pump gets stuck, clogged, or burns out.
- High-decibel alarms alert you before water reaches the floor level.
- Protects finished basements, stored belongings, and expensive improvements.
Perfect for Finished Basements & High-Risk Areas
If you’ve invested in a finished family room, home theater, or kids’ playroom, a back-up system is a fraction of the cost of even one serious flood. We’ll size the right backup pump and battery bank for your pit, discharge, and risk level.
- Standard, heavy-duty, and premium battery backup options

Sump Pump Repair & Battery Backup FAQ.
What should I do if my sump pump stops working during a storm?
First, stay safe — don’t step into standing water near electrical outlets. If it’s safe, check that the pump is plugged in and the breaker hasn’t tripped. Then call us immediately. We can often walk you through temporary steps over the phone and dispatch a technician for same-day emergency service.
How long does a typical sump pump replacement take?
Most standard sump pump replacements take about 1–3 hours, depending on access, basin condition, and discharge piping. If we’re adding a battery backup sump pump at the same time, plan on a bit more time so we can complete wiring, testing, and homeowner orientation.
Will you clean up after the repair?
Yes. We treat your home like our own. We use shoe covers and floor protection and clean up any mess created during the repair or installation so your basement is left neat and ready to use.
Can you service my existing battery backup sump pump?
In many cases we can service and test existing backup systems, replace worn parts, and upgrade batteries. If the system is outdated or undersized, we’ll show you options for a modern, higher-capacity backup system.
Do you offer maintenance plans for sump pumps?
Yes. Many homeowners choose an annual inspection and test so we can catch problems before storm season. Ask your technician or our office about adding sump pump maintenance to your home service plan.
