Sump Pump Installation Process

Here's How We Install It Right

First, we assess your basement’s specific water entry points and drainage patterns. Not every installation is the same, and cookie-cutter approaches cause problems later.

Next, we excavate the sump pit in the optimal location for your basement’s layout. Proper depth and positioning matter more than most homeowners realize. We install the pump, connect the discharge piping, and ensure proper electrical connections with GFCI protection.

Finally, we test the entire system under actual water conditions. You’ll see it work before we leave. We’ll also walk you through basic maintenance and what to watch for so your system keeps protecting your basement for years.

Complete Sump Pump Installation Service

Everything You Need for Reliable Protection

Your installation includes proper pit excavation, high-quality pump selection based on your basement’s needs, and complete discharge piping to move water safely away from your foundation. We handle all electrical connections and ensure everything meets local code requirements.

We also install backup power options when needed. West Chicago storms often knock out power right when you need your sump pump most. Battery backup systems keep you protected even during outages.

Every installation comes with manufacturer warranties on equipment plus our guarantee on workmanship. We’re not going anywhere, and neither is our commitment to keeping your basement dry.

Your current pump is probably due for replacement if it’s over 7-10 years old, makes unusual noises, cycles on and off frequently, or has already failed during a storm. Rust around the pump or frequent clogs are also warning signs. In West Chicago, we also see many homes where the original pump was undersized for the actual water volume, which causes premature failure. If you’re unsure, we can evaluate your current system and let you know if it’s adequate for your basement’s specific conditions.
Pump sizing depends on your basement size, local water table conditions, and how quickly water enters during heavy rains. Most West Chicago homes need 1/3 to 1/2 horsepower pumps, but some situations require more powerful units. We measure your basement, assess drainage patterns, and factor in DuPage County’s soil conditions to recommend the right capacity. Undersized pumps burn out quickly, while oversized pumps cycle too frequently and waste energy. Getting this right the first time saves you money and headaches later.
Most residential sump pump installations take 4-6 hours, depending on your basement’s layout and whether we’re replacing an existing system or installing from scratch. New installations require more time for proper pit excavation and discharge line routing. We also factor in time for electrical connections and thorough testing. Commercial installations or complex residential setups may take longer. We’ll give you a realistic timeframe upfront so you can plan accordingly.
Yes, we handle emergency sump pump installations when your current system fails during storms or flooding events. We understand that water doesn’t wait for convenient business hours, especially during West Chicago’s severe weather seasons. Emergency installations focus on getting you protected quickly, though we may need to return later for final touches once conditions improve. Keep in mind that emergency service rates apply, and parts availability can be limited during major storm events when everyone needs pumps simultaneously.
Our installations include manufacturer warranties on the pump equipment (typically 2-5 years depending on the brand) plus our workmanship guarantee on the installation itself. This covers proper pit construction, electrical connections, discharge piping, and system testing. If something goes wrong with our installation work, we’ll fix it at no charge. Equipment warranties cover pump replacement if the unit fails due to manufacturing defects. We’ll help you navigate warranty claims and ensure you get the coverage you paid for.
Battery backup systems are highly recommended for West Chicago homes, especially if you have a finished basement or valuable items in storage. Power outages during storms are common here, and that’s exactly when you need your sump pump working. Battery backups keep your system running for several hours during outages, which is usually enough to get through most storm events. The investment is minimal compared to potential water damage costs. We can install battery backup systems with your new pump or add them to existing installations.
