Sump Pump Installation Process Aurora

Here's Exactly What We Do

First, we assess your basement’s specific drainage needs and soil conditions. Not every home needs the same pump size or pit depth, and guessing wrong means problems later.

Next, we excavate the sump pit to proper dimensions and install the pump with correct discharge piping that won’t freeze or back up. We test everything thoroughly before we leave, including power connections and float switch operation.

Finally, we walk you through the system operation and maintenance schedule. You’ll know exactly how everything works and what to watch for. No mystery boxes in your basement.

Residential Sump Pump Installation Aurora

What You Get With Every Installation

Every sump pump installation includes proper pit excavation, pump sizing for your home’s specific needs, and discharge piping that routes water away from your foundation. We handle permits and inspections so you don’t have to.

You also get backup power options explained clearly, not pushed on you. Some homes need battery backup, others don’t. We’ll tell you which situation you’re in and why, based on your basement’s actual flooding risk and your budget.

All work comes with warranty coverage on both parts and labor. If something goes wrong with our installation, we fix it. Period.

Most residential sump pump installations take 4-6 hours, depending on your basement’s current setup and soil conditions. If we’re working with existing plumbing or need to excavate through Aurora’s clay soil, it might take longer. We’ll give you a realistic timeline upfront, not a best-case scenario that leaves you waiting around. New construction or simple replacements go faster, while first-time installations in older homes typically need the full day.
Pump sizing depends on your basement’s square footage, local water table conditions, and how much water typically flows toward your foundation during heavy rains. Most Aurora homes need 1/3 to 1/2 horsepower pumps, but larger homes or those with serious drainage issues might need 3/4 HP units. We calculate the right size based on your specific situation, not what’s cheapest or what we have on the truck. Undersized pumps burn out early, oversized ones cycle too frequently and waste energy.
Battery backup makes sense if your basement floods during storms that typically knock out power, or if you have valuable items stored below grade. Aurora gets some serious storms that can take out power for hours, which is exactly when you need your sump pump working. However, battery systems add cost and require maintenance, so we only recommend them when the flooding risk justifies the investment. We’ll assess your specific situation and give you an honest recommendation.
Basic sump pump installation typically runs $800-1,500 for most Aurora homes, depending on pump type, pit requirements, and discharge piping needs. Battery backup systems add $500-1,000 to the total. Homes that need extensive excavation or have complicated discharge routing cost more. We provide written estimates that include all necessary work, permits, and cleanup. No hidden fees or surprise charges when the job is done.
Test your sump pump every few months by pouring water into the pit until the float switch activates. Check that water pumps out quickly and the discharge line isn’t blocked or frozen. Clean debris from the pit annually and ensure the pump sits level on the bottom. Battery backup systems need annual battery replacement regardless of usage. We provide a maintenance checklist with every installation so you know exactly what to watch for and when to call us.
Yes, we install sump pumps in existing basements regularly. The process involves excavating a pit in your basement floor, which creates some dust and noise but is manageable with proper containment. We work around your schedule and protect your belongings during installation. Existing basements sometimes have complications like utilities in the way or concrete that’s harder to cut, but we handle these situations routinely. Most Aurora homes built before 1990 didn’t include sump pumps originally, so retrofit installations are common.
