Basement Sump Pump Installation Process

Here's Exactly What We Do

First, we assess your basement’s specific drainage needs and soil conditions. Every Bloomingdale home is different, so we size your pump system accordingly rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach.

Next, we excavate the sump pit in the optimal location for water collection. We install the pump, discharge piping, and backup systems if needed. Everything gets tested thoroughly before we clean up.

Finally, we walk you through the system operation and maintenance schedule. You’ll know exactly how everything works and what to watch for. Most installations are completed in one day with minimal disruption to your routine.

The right pump size depends on your basement’s square footage, soil drainage characteristics, and how much water typically enters during heavy rains. We measure your space and assess local drainage patterns to recommend the appropriate horsepower and pumping capacity. A pump that’s too small won’t keep up during heavy storms, while an oversized pump cycles on and off too frequently, wearing out faster. We’ve installed systems throughout Bloomingdale and know exactly what works for different basement sizes and soil conditions in this area.
Sump pump failures always seem to happen at the worst possible time – usually during heavy storms when you need them most. That’s why we recommend backup systems for critical installations and offer emergency repair service. If your pump fails, the first step is to remove any standing water and identify the problem – it could be a simple power issue, clogged discharge line, or pump motor failure. We keep common replacement parts in stock and can often get your system running the same day you call. Prevention is always better than emergency repairs, which is why we emphasize quality installation from the start.
Most residential sump pump installations in Bloomingdale take 4-6 hours to complete, depending on your basement’s current setup and soil conditions. If we’re installing in a basement that’s never had a sump pump, we need extra time for pit excavation and discharge line routing. Existing sump pump replacements usually go faster since the infrastructure is already in place. We work efficiently but never rush the important details like proper pit depth, pump positioning, and electrical connections. You can expect the work area to be cleaned up and your system fully tested before we consider the job complete.
A backup system makes sense if your basement has finished living space, valuable storage, or if you’ve experienced flooding before. Battery backup pumps kick in when your primary pump fails or during power outages – which often happen during the same storms that cause basement flooding. Water-powered backup pumps are another option that uses your home’s water pressure to operate. The investment in a backup system is usually much less than the cost of cleaning up even one basement flood. We can evaluate your specific situation and recommend whether backup protection makes sense for your home and budget.
Your sump pump should be tested every 3-4 months by pouring water into the pit to make sure it activates and pumps properly. Before storm season each spring, check that the discharge line is clear and water flows away from your foundation. The pump intake screen should be cleaned if it gets clogged with debris. Most pumps last 7-10 years with proper maintenance, but you’ll want to replace them before they fail completely. We can set up a maintenance reminder system and provide annual service checks if you prefer to have a professional handle the upkeep.
Submersible pumps sit inside the sump pit and are completely underwater when operating, making them quieter and more efficient for most residential applications. Pedestal pumps have the motor mounted above the pit, making them easier to service but noisier during operation. Submersible pumps generally last longer because they’re designed to handle continuous water exposure, while pedestal pumps can be more cost-effective upfront. For most Bloomingdale homes, we recommend submersible pumps because they provide better performance and don’t take up basement floor space. The choice often comes down to your specific basement layout, budget, and noise tolerance.
