Professional sump pump installation that keeps your basement dry when storms hit hardest.
You won’t lose sleep during spring storms anymore. No more rushing downstairs with every heavy rain to check if water’s seeping in. No more moving boxes and furniture to higher ground every time the weather forecast looks threatening.
A properly installed sump pump system handles the water before it becomes your problem. The system kicks in automatically when water levels rise, pumping it safely away from your foundation before it can enter your basement.
Your finished basement, stored belongings, and peace of mind stay protected. You get back to using your basement space the way it was meant to be used – not as a constant source of worry every time it rains.
FloTek Plumbing has been handling sump pump installations throughout Algonquin and the surrounding areas for years. We understand how the local soil conditions, water table levels, and seasonal weather patterns affect basement water issues.
Our team consists of licensed plumbers who’ve seen every type of basement water problem this area can throw at homeowners. We know which equipment works best for different foundation types and how to properly size systems for Algonquin’s specific conditions.
When you’re dealing with something as critical as basement flood protection, you want contractors who’ve been there before and know exactly what works in your neighborhood.
The process starts with evaluating your basement’s specific water issues and determining the best location for your sump pit. We excavate the pit at the lowest point of your basement floor, ensuring proper depth and positioning for maximum effectiveness.
Next comes installing the sump pump system itself – selecting the right pump capacity for your home’s needs and connecting all discharge piping. The discharge line gets routed to carry water safely away from your foundation, typically 10-15 feet from the house.
Final steps include testing the entire system to make sure everything activates properly, cleaning up the work area, and walking you through basic maintenance. You’ll know exactly how your new system works and what to expect when it kicks in during the next heavy rain.
Ready to get started?
Your installation includes proper pit excavation, high-quality pump selection based on your home’s specific requirements, and complete discharge line installation with proper grading. We handle all electrical connections and ensure everything meets local building codes.
Battery backup systems are available for homes that need protection during power outages – because storms that cause flooding often knock out electricity too. The installation also includes a check valve to prevent water from flowing back into the pit.
Every installation comes with system testing and a walkthrough of basic maintenance tasks. You’ll understand how to check your system periodically and what warning signs to watch for. The goal is a system that works reliably for years with minimal attention from you.
