Basement Sump Pump Installation Process

Here's How We Install Your System

We start by evaluating your basement’s specific needs. Every home is different, and proper sizing depends on your basement size, water table, and drainage patterns around your foundation.

Next, we excavate the sump pit in the optimal location for water collection. We install the liner, connect the discharge piping, and set up the pump system with proper electrical connections that meet local codes.

We test everything thoroughly before we leave. You’ll see exactly how your system works, understand the maintenance basics, and have our contact information for any future service needs. The installation includes cleanup and a walkthrough of your new system.

Complete Sump Pump Installation Services

Everything You Need for Reliable Protection

Your installation includes proper pit excavation, high-quality pump selection based on your home’s needs, and discharge piping that directs water safely away from your foundation. We handle all electrical connections and ensure everything meets Illinois building codes.

We also install battery backup systems when needed. Power outages during storms are common, and that’s often when you need your sump pump most. A backup system keeps you protected even when the lights go out.

Every installation comes with a warranty on both parts and labor. We use quality components that last, and we stand behind our work. You also get our emergency service number for those rare times when you need immediate help.

The right size depends on several factors including your basement square footage, how much water typically enters during heavy rains, and your soil drainage characteristics. Most residential installations use 1/3 to 1/2 horsepower pumps, but some situations require more powerful units. We measure your space, evaluate your drainage patterns, and calculate the gallons per hour your system needs to handle. Oversizing wastes energy and money, while undersizing leaves you vulnerable to flooding. That’s why we do the math instead of guessing.
The optimal location is typically the lowest point of your basement where water naturally collects, but it’s not always that simple. We consider your foundation drainage, existing plumbing, electrical access, and discharge routing when choosing the spot. The pump needs to be accessible for maintenance but out of the way for daily use. We also ensure the discharge line can route outside without freezing issues or code violations. Poor placement is one of the biggest reasons sump pumps fail prematurely, so we take time to get this right.
Most residential sump pump installations take 4-6 hours, depending on your basement conditions and whether we’re replacing an existing system or starting from scratch. New installations require more time for pit excavation and discharge line routing. If you need electrical work or battery backup installation, add another 1-2 hours. We work efficiently but don’t rush critical steps like proper pit preparation and testing. You’ll have a fully functional system the same day, and we clean up completely before we leave.
In Sleepy Hollow, we strongly recommend battery backup systems. Illinois storms often cause power outages exactly when you need your sump pump most. A battery backup automatically kicks in when the power goes out, keeping your basement dry until electricity returns. The backup system also provides redundancy if your primary pump fails. While it adds to the upfront cost, it’s much cheaper than dealing with flood damage. Most battery systems run 8-12 hours depending on pumping frequency, which covers most outage situations.
Sump pumps need basic maintenance to stay reliable, but it’s not complicated. Test your pump every few months by pouring water into the pit until it activates. Clean debris from the pit and check that the float moves freely. Inspect the discharge line for clogs or ice buildup during winter. Battery backup systems need annual battery replacement. We provide a maintenance checklist with every installation and offer annual service visits if you prefer professional maintenance. Most homeowners can handle the basic upkeep, but we’re always available when you need help.
Residential sump pump installation typically ranges from $800-$2,500 depending on your specific needs, pump type, and installation complexity. Basic replacements cost less than new installations requiring excavation and electrical work. Battery backup systems, upgraded pumps, and extensive discharge line work increase the price. We provide detailed written estimates that break down all costs upfront. While you might find cheaper options, proper installation prevents expensive callbacks and protects your investment. Most homeowners find the peace of mind worth every penny when the next big storm hits.
