Basement Beacon — Smart Sump & Groundwater Monitoring

🚨 Know Your Sump Pump Is Working — Before You Have a Flood.

Basement Beacon continuously monitors your sump pump activity, sump basin water level, basement temperature and humidity, groundwater temperature and quality, and floor moisture — so you’re alerted before small problems become expensive disasters.

Coming soon to Kickstarter.

Why Basement Beacon Is Different

Most water alarms only detect water after it’s already on the floor.

Basement Beacon monitors the systems that prevent flooding in the first place.

It tracks:

  • ✔ Sump pump on/off cycles (detect failure or dry running)
  • ✔ Sump basin water level (verify proper draining)
  • ✔ Basement temperature & humidity
  • ✔ Groundwater temperature & quality (for drinking or heating systems)
  • ✔ Two floor wetness sensors
  • ✔ Secondary AC device activity (such as a dehumidifier)

Alerts are delivered through:

  • 📱 The Basement Beacon mobile app for iPhone and Android
  • 🔔 A built-in audible alarm for local warning

Monitor. Analyze. Alert.

Monitor
Continuously tracks sump behavior, water levels, environmental conditions, and groundwater quality with easy-to-read charts.

Analyze
Identifies abnormal pump activity, rising water levels, excessive humidity, or harmful water conditions (for drinking and use in heating systems).

Alert
Sends instant notifications and activates an audible alarm when adverse events occur.

Built for Real Homes

Basement Beacon is designed for:

  • Homes with sump pumps
  • Finished and unfinished basements
  • Measuring groundwater quality
  • Vacation properties
  • Homeowners who want early warning — not cleanup

🚧 Currently in Development

Every unit begins as a carefully built and tested prototype. What started out as a son's project for his dad's piece of mind is turning into a product for everyone. We’re refining the hardware and firmware to ensure reliable, long-term performance.
