Sump Pump Installation Process

Here's Exactly What We Do

First, we assess your basement’s specific needs and determine the best location for your sump pit. We consider your home’s foundation, existing plumbing, and drainage patterns to ensure optimal placement.

Next, we excavate the sump pit to the proper depth and install the basin with appropriate gravel bedding. We connect the discharge pipe with the correct slope and route it away from your foundation to prevent water from cycling back.

Finally, we install and test the pump system, including backup power options if needed. We walk you through the system operation and provide maintenance guidance so you know what to expect.

Complete Sump Pump Installation Services

Everything You Need Is Included

Your installation includes proper pit excavation, high-quality pump selection based on your home’s needs, and professional discharge line routing. We handle all permits and ensure code compliance for your area.

We install check valves to prevent backflow, proper electrical connections with GFCI protection, and test the entire system before we leave. You get clear instructions on operation and maintenance, plus our warranty on both parts and labor.

Emergency installations are available when your current system fails. We stock quality pumps and can typically complete same-day installations when flooding threatens your basement.

Installation costs typically range from $800 to $2,500 depending on your basement’s specific requirements, pump type, and any electrical work needed. Factors affecting price include pit depth, discharge line length, and whether backup systems are included. We provide detailed estimates after assessing your basement so you know exactly what you’re paying for. Emergency installations may include additional charges for after-hours service, but we’re upfront about all costs before starting work.
Most residential sump pump installations take 4-6 hours to complete from start to finish. This includes excavating the pit, installing the basin and pump, connecting discharge lines, and testing the system. More complex installations requiring extensive electrical work or challenging discharge routing may take longer. We work efficiently to minimize disruption to your daily routine and always clean up completely before leaving. Emergency installations can often be completed the same day you call.
Pump size depends on your basement’s square footage, local water table conditions, and how quickly water enters during heavy rains. Most Elk Grove Village homes need pumps capable of moving 2,500-4,000 gallons per hour. We calculate the right size based on your home’s specific drainage challenges rather than guessing. Oversized pumps cycle too frequently and wear out faster, while undersized pumps can’t keep up during heavy storms. Our assessment ensures you get exactly what your basement needs.
Backup systems make sense if you have a finished basement, valuable storage, or have experienced flooding before. Battery backup pumps continue working during power outages when your primary pump can’t run. Water-powered backup systems use municipal water pressure and work even when electricity is out for extended periods. We recommend backup systems for most Elk Grove Village homes because storms that cause flooding often knock out power too. The cost of backup protection is much less than replacing flooded belongings.
We route discharge water away from your foundation through buried or surface pipes that empty at least 10 feet from your home. The water typically flows to your yard’s natural drainage areas, storm sewers, or designated drainage easements. Proper discharge placement prevents water from flowing back toward your foundation and causing the same flooding problem. We ensure discharge locations comply with local codes and don’t create drainage problems for your neighbors. Some areas require specific discharge methods we’re familiar with.
Sump pumps typically last 7-10 years with proper maintenance, though heavy use can shorten this timeframe. Annual maintenance includes testing the float switch, cleaning the pit, and checking discharge lines for clogs or damage. You should test your pump before storm season by pouring water into the pit to ensure it activates properly. Signs you need replacement include frequent cycling, unusual noises, visible rust, or failure to turn on during testing. We provide maintenance services and can spot potential problems before they cause basement flooding.
