Battery Backup Sump Pump Installation
Because storms cause outages exactly when the pump is needed most.
A primary sump pump is only as reliable as the power behind it — and Front Range storms knock out power exactly when the pump is needed most. A battery backup sump pump keeps the pit clear when the lights go out. Littleton Sump Pump Pros installs battery backup systems for homes across Littleton and the Denver Metro.
If your basement is finished, or you've ever lost power during a storm, this is the single best upgrade you can make.

How a battery backup system works
A secondary pump sits in the same pit as your primary, powered by a dedicated battery and charger. When the power fails — or the primary pump can't keep up — the backup takes over automatically and a high-water alarm lets you know.
- Backup pump and dedicated deep-cycle battery
- Automatic controller that switches over on power loss or high water
- High-water alarm so you know the backup engaged
- Optional smart monitoring for alerts on your phone
- Battery charger that keeps the system ready
Primary + backup combination
For the best protection, we often recommend a primary-plus-backup combination engineered to work together. The primary handles everyday water; the backup is there for outages and for the rare moment the primary is overwhelmed.
Batteries don't last forever — plan on replacement every 3 to 5 years. We check battery health at every maintenance visit.

Confirm the pit can house a backup pump alongside the primary.

What Homeowners Say
A few illustrative examples of the basement-water problems we help solve across the Littleton area.
Our sump pump quit during a spring storm and the basement started taking on water. They walked us through what to do, got out quickly, and replaced the pump with a backup. Dry ever since.
We were finishing our basement and wanted to do it right. They sized a system for our clay soil, added a battery backup, and ran the discharge well away from the house. Clear estimate, clean work.
The discharge line kept freezing every winter. They re-routed it below the frost line and the problem is gone. Friendly, local, and they explained everything.
Our older home always smelled musty downstairs. They found water wicking up where the wall meets the floor, put in a proper pit and pump, and the smell is finally gone.
I got three quotes, and theirs was the only one that actually explained what I was paying for. No pressure, tidy work, and they tested everything before they left.
The pump was cycling every couple of minutes and driving us crazy. Turned out the pit was undersized. They fixed it right and showed me how to test it myself.
