Your basement may be at risk during power outages and severe weather events. If any of the following conditions apply to your property, contact McQuillan Home Services for a sump pump assessment.
A single sump pump with no backup leaves your basement entirely unprotected during power outages, which tend to occur during the same severe storms that produce the heaviest water intrusion. A McQuillan Home Services plumber can evaluate your existing sump pit and recommend a battery backup unit sized to your property’s drainage demands.
If your basement has taken on water during previous storms when the power was out, the primary pump was unable to operate when it was needed most. Do not wait to call McQuillan Home Services. A battery backup sump pump provides automatic failover protection that activates the moment your primary unit loses power.
Properties in low-lying areas of the Twin Cities metro or those with seasonally elevated water tables face an elevated risk of basement flooding during spring thaw and heavy rainfall events. McQuillan Home Services can install a backup system that provides an additional layer of protection when groundwater conditions are at their most demanding.
Battery capacity degrades over time, and a backup sump pump with an aging battery may not deliver sufficient runtime to protect your basement through an extended outage. McQuillan Home Services can test your current battery under load and replace it if performance has fallen below a reliable threshold.
Our St. Paul, MN experts specialize in all battery backup sump pump services. Whatever the situation, McQuillan Home Services arrives with upfront pricing and a commitment to getting it right the first time.

A battery backup sump pump is a secondary pump that operates independently from your home’s electrical supply, drawing power from a dedicated battery when the primary unit loses power or becomes overwhelmed. In Minnesota, where severe thunderstorms and spring flooding frequently coincide with power outages, a backup unit provides a critical secondary layer of drainage protection for basements. Call (651) 292-0124 or schedule online to book your sump pump consultation.
In most residential applications, a battery backup sump pump installation can be completed within two to four hours, depending on the accessibility of the existing sump pit and the complexity of the plumbing configuration. McQuillan Home Services technicians assess the site conditions before beginning work so that realistic completion times can be communicated to the homeowner in advance.
Battery capacity varies by unit and manufacturer, but most residential battery backup sump pumps can sustain operation for several hours to multiple days depending on how frequently the pump cycles during the outage. Regular battery testing and timely replacement, typically every three to five years, are essential to maintaining dependable performance when the system is called upon.
Yes, battery backup sump pump systems are specifically engineered to work in conjunction with an existing primary pump, and they activate automatically only when the primary unit is unable to operate. McQuillan Home Services technicians evaluate the current sump pit dimensions and pump specifications before installation to confirm compatibility and proper clearance between units.
Proper sizing depends on several factors, including the square footage of the basement, the volume of water that typically enters the sump pit during heavy rainfall, and the pumping capacity of the existing primary unit. McQuillan Home Services technicians perform a site evaluation before recommending a specific unit to ensure the selected pump meets the drainage demands of the property.
Most modern battery backup sump pump systems include a monitoring panel or alarm that signals low battery voltage, giving homeowners advance notice before the battery’s capacity becomes insufficient. It is also advisable to schedule a periodic inspection with a licensed plumber who can test the battery under load conditions and recommend replacement before the next heavy storm season arrives in the Twin Cities region. Call (651) 292-0124 to schedule your sump pump assessment.
