Customer Stories & Satisfied Results

In honor of Women's History Month Frank's put on an evening plumbing class for women which I attended with a friend. Abby, Mike and Frank were incredibly welcoming and generous with their time for this free event. Mike and Frank traded off during the presentation and their passion for their work was obvious. They let us ask as many questions as we wanted and provided thorough explanations of common household plumbing issues. Always make sure your sump pump is plugged in before you call a professional!

I especially appreciated that they were very clear that they would not be making any sales during or after the class. If you want to set up an appointment you have to call the next day. There was no pressure to buy anything, it was truly just a free service to better the community and that is hard to find these days.

"The whole team was so very helpful and made me feel comfortable..."

Was visiting family and a drain clogged up. I had to leave next day out of state and Franks plumbing (Kyle) came by. Kyle was so friendly, went above and beyond. Have had plumbers play tricks before and not with Frank's. Will be using them for life. The whole team was so very helpful and made me feel comfortable that I could trust them to work with my family member who was at the house.

"They were excellent and I will never go with any other company!"

Al and Dante were amazing! Very polite and professional. Al explained everything to both me and my husband so we could actually understand what is going on. Al said the sump pump looks good other than the roots that are growing inside. He told us exactly how to fix that problem. He was able to get the hot water tank lit again, but did honestly say it will most likely need to be replaced. Thank you for your great service!

"Both of these gentlemen had pure compassion for me as a customer."

I wanted to share my gratitude to Mike Russo (manager) for taking a lot of effort to keep me happy and take care of my sump pump issue quickly and for sending out one of his best techs (Seth) who was fantastic! Both of these gentlemen had pure compassion for me as a customer. A lot of places just want to fix it, get paid and leave. People who take the time to listen to the customer and talk/explain/etc. are what matters to us homeowners.

"So beyond thankful for Mike, Abby, and Frank for their hospitality today during their class!"

I cannot begin to describe the amount of information they provided to us all... and the truly best part…the community they are building. I truly cannot wait to go to more classes in the future. Because of this class I know without a doubt who I will be calling for any plumbing needs moving forward. Thank you, Mike, Abby, and Frank!”

Stay Protected—Even When the Power Goes Out

Flood Protection During Power Outages

Storms don’t just bring heavy rain—they often knock out power, too. Without electricity, your sump pump can’t do its job. A battery backup kicks in automatically when the power goes out, keeping your basement protected.

Added Layer of Security

Even the most reliable sump pump systems can fail unexpectedly due to electrical issues, mechanical problems, or maintenance delays. A battery backup system gives you a second line of defense, reducing the risk of costly water damage when you need protection most.

Time to Respond to Emergencies

With a backup system in place, you’re not left scrambling during an emergency. Whether you're away from home or asleep during a storm, a battery backup buys you time to respond without immediate disaster. It’s smart, proactive protection that can save you thousands in repairs.

Protect Your Home from the Unexpected

Storms, power outages, and sudden flooding can strike without warning—especially during heavy rainfall or snowmelt. When your primary sump pump loses power, a battery backup system kicks in to keep things running and prevent costly water damage.


It’s a small investment with big peace of mind, helping you avoid the stress of a flooded basement and the expense of repairs. Protecting your biggest asset—your home—starts with being prepared for the unexpected.

FAQs

  • What does a sump pump battery backup do?

    A battery backup system powers your sump pump if the electricity goes out. It automatically kicks in when your main pump loses power, helping prevent basement flooding during storms or outages.

  • How long will a sump pump battery backup last during an outage?

    Most battery backups can run a sump pump for several hours or up to two days, depending on the battery size, pump usage, and how often the pump needs to cycle. It’s enough to get you through most storms or give you time to address longer outages.

  • Do I need a battery backup if I already have a reliable sump pump?

    Yes! Even the most dependable sump pump needs power to work. A backup system is extra protection to ensure your home stays dry even if your primary pump fails or loses power.

  • How often should I replace the battery?

    Most batteries last 3–5 years. It's a good idea to test your system once or twice a year and replace the battery as needed to ensure it's ready when you need it most.

Don’t Forget What’s Coming Into Your Home, Too

While your sump pump protects your home from water damage, your plumbing system also deserves attention when it comes to what you're putting in your body. At Frank’s Mr. Plumber, we believe clean, safe water is just as important as keeping your basement dry.



Our water filtration systems remove harmful contaminants, improve taste, and protect your appliances from mineral buildup. Whether you're on city water or a well, we can help you choose a system that fits your home and lifestyle.
