Stop worrying about the next storm flooding your basement and damaging everything you’ve worked for.
You know that sinking feeling when heavy rain starts and you’re wondering if your basement will flood again. You shouldn’t have to move everything upstairs every time there’s a storm warning.
A properly installed sump pump system eliminates that anxiety completely. Your basement stays dry during the heaviest downpours, your belongings stay protected, and you can actually use your lower level without constantly worrying about water damage.
The right system handles Inverness’s clay soil conditions and our unpredictable Illinois weather. You get reliable protection that works automatically, even when you’re not home, so you can stop checking your basement every time it rains.
We’ve been handling sump pump installations throughout the northwest Chicago suburbs for years. We understand how Inverness’s soil conditions and weather patterns affect basement water issues.
Most of the homes we work on were built in the 80s and 90s, and many are dealing with original sump pumps that can’t handle today’s storm intensity. We’ve seen what works long-term in this area and what fails when you need it most.
We’re licensed, insured, and available 24/7 during storm season because pump failures don’t wait for business hours.
We start with an assessment of your current setup and basement conditions. This tells us the right pump capacity, discharge routing, and whether you need a backup system.
Next, we prepare the sump pit, ensuring proper depth and drainage for your specific situation. We install the pump, connect the discharge piping, and set up the electrical connections to code.
Finally, we test everything thoroughly, including simulating high water conditions. You’ll see exactly how the system works and get clear instructions for basic maintenance. The whole process typically takes a few hours, and your basement is protected immediately.
Ready to get started?
Your installation includes the sump pump sized for your basement, proper pit preparation, and discharge piping routed away from your foundation. We handle all electrical connections and ensure everything meets local codes.
We also install check valves to prevent backflow and can add backup battery systems for power outage protection. Many Inverness homes benefit from backup pumps since extended outages during storms are common in our area.
You get manufacturer warranties on equipment plus our guarantee on installation work. We explain how to test your system and provide maintenance recommendations to keep everything running reliably for years.
