Battery backup and water-powered backup options are available so a power outage doesn't undo your protection.
An oversized or undersized sump pump both cause problems down the line — short-cycling, premature motor failure, or simply not keeping up during a real storm. We calculate GPH capacity against your basin's actual inflow rather than reaching for a default size.
We check discharge line routing and check valve placement as part of every install, not just the pump itself.
We carry common pump models on the truck so a failed unit can often be replaced the same day you call.
Battery backup add-ons are priced separately and clearly, so you can decide what fits your budget.
We calculate gallons-per-hour pump capacity based on your basin size and typical inflow rate, not a one-size-fits-all recommendation.
Every Shawano, WI Sump Pump Installation job starts with an inspection, not a generic package — here's what that typically includes.
We install submersible pumps rated for continuous duty, not the lighter-duty units sold for occasional use.
We size backup battery capacity to your typical outage duration, not just a default runtime estimate.
This option works well as a second layer of protection alongside a battery backup system.
A missing or failed check valve lets pumped water flow back into the basin, making your pump work twice as hard for the same result.
An undersized basin cycles the pump too frequently, shortening its lifespan — we resize basins when the existing one isn't keeping up.
If it's an active failure with water rising, we prioritize same-day dispatch.
We also check the discharge line route and check valve condition as part of the same visit.
You'll see the recommended pump horsepower, basin size, and any backup options broken out with pricing.
You'll get a quick walkthrough of the alarm and backup system operation so you know what to expect.
"Our old sump pump died during the biggest storm of the year and we got water in the finished basement. They replaced it with a battery backup system the same afternoon."
— Shawano Customer
"Water-powered backup pump has been a good second layer since our power goes out more than we'd like during storms."
— Shawano Homeowner
"Appreciated that they actually tested the backup battery under a simulated outage before leaving."

If the pump runs constantly or your basin overflows during heavy rain, it's likely undersized for your actual inflow rate.
If you've had a power outage during a storm before, or your basement has flooded from pump failure, a backup system is worth the investment.
We can test an existing pump's condition during an inspection rather than assuming it needs replacement.
If a specialty basin or pump size is needed, we'll give you a realistic timeline upfront.
A primary pump runs on household power and handles day-to-day drainage; a backup pump activates during a power outage or primary pump failure.
Yes, every installation comes with a written warranty on both the pump and the installation labor.
