Professional sump pump installation that actually works when you need it most – during those heavy Illinois storms.
You know that sinking feeling when you head downstairs after a storm and hear water where it shouldn’t be. Your finished basement, your stored belongings, your peace of mind – all at risk because your sump pump couldn’t handle what Mother Nature threw at it.
A properly installed sump pump changes everything. You sleep through storms instead of lying awake wondering if your basement is flooding. Your family room stays a family room, not a disaster zone. Your homeowner’s insurance stays happy, and your stress levels drop significantly.
The difference between a sump pump that works and one that fails usually comes down to one thing: proper professional installation. The right pump, sized correctly, installed in the right spot, with the right discharge setup. It’s not complicated, but it has to be done right.
We at FloTek Plumbing have been handling sump pump installations throughout Itasca and the surrounding DuPage County area for years. We understand how the local soil conditions, water table levels, and seasonal weather patterns affect your basement’s water management needs.
Every home is different, and every basement presents its own challenges. We’ve seen it all – from simple replacements in newer homes to complex installations in older properties with unique drainage issues. Our approach is straightforward: assess your specific situation, recommend the right solution, and install it correctly the first time.
We’re licensed, insured, and familiar with local building codes. When we’re done, you’ll have a system that’s built to protect your basement for years to come.
First, we evaluate your basement’s current setup and water management needs. This includes checking your existing sump pit, assessing your home’s drainage patterns, and determining the right pump capacity for your situation. No two installations are identical, so this step matters.
Next, we handle the installation itself. If you need a new sump pit, we’ll excavate and install it properly. We position the pump for optimal performance, set up the discharge piping to direct water away from your foundation, and test everything to make sure it’s working correctly.
Finally, we walk you through the system so you understand how it works and what to watch for. We’ll show you the float switch operation, explain the discharge setup, and give you practical maintenance tips. You’ll know exactly what you have and how to keep it running smoothly.
