A Sump Pump Failure Can Cost $10,000+ in Damage

Most homeowners assume their sump pump will just work.

But problems happen quietly:

  • Pumps fail without warning
  • Discharge lines freeze
  • Basins overflow while you’re asleep or away
  • A storm overwhelms the system
  • Insurance doesn’t always cover everything

By the time you discover water on the floor — it’s already too late.

Meet Basement Beacon

A complete basement monitoring system designed to protect your home 24/7.

Basement Beacon monitors:

  • ✅ Sump pump activity (on/off cycles)
  • ✅ Water level inside the basin
  • ✅ Basement temperature and humidity
  • ✅ Floor wetness (up to two sensors)
  • ✅ Optional second AC device (like a dehumidifier)
  • ✅ Groundwater quality (important for well systems)

If something isn’t right — you’ll know immediately.

Right on your phone with the Basement Beacon app.

Built by a Homeowner Who Wanted Better Protection

I’m a computer science engineer and homeowner.

After realizing how vulnerable my own basement was to silent pump failure, I started building a smarter solution — one that monitors the entire system, not just a single sensor.

Basement Beacon is being developed in-house with reliability, simplicity, and long-term durability in mind.

This isn’t a novelty gadget.

It’s essential protection.

Simple Setup. Continuous Protection.

  1. Install the sensors in your sump basin and basement.
  2. Connect to WiFi.
  3. Monitor everything from your phone.

Basement Beacon quietly watches your basement 24/7 — so you don’t have to. If any thresholds for water level, sump pump activity, temperature, humidity, or floor wetness are reached, you will get an alert on your phone via an app. Additionally, an audible alarm will occur on the Basement Beacon device.
