Everything You Need for Reliable Protection

Our sump pump installation includes proper sizing based on your basement’s square footage and typical water infiltration. We don’t guess – we calculate the right pump capacity to handle Wheaton’s heaviest rainfall without overworking the system.

You get quality equipment from trusted manufacturers, not bargain pumps that fail when you need them most. We also install battery backup systems so your pump keeps working even when storms knock out power, which happens more often than most people realize.

Every installation comes with proper discharge piping that directs water away from your foundation, electrical work that meets code requirements, and testing to ensure everything functions correctly. We pull permits when required and make sure inspections are scheduled and passed.

Most residential sump pump installations take 4-6 hours, depending on whether we need to create a new sump pit or if you already have one. If we’re installing in an existing pit with accessible electrical, it’s usually on the shorter end. New installations that require digging, concrete work, or running new electrical circuits take longer. We always give you a realistic timeframe upfront and keep you updated if anything changes during the job.
Pump size depends on your basement’s square footage, how much water typically enters during heavy rains, and your soil conditions. Most Wheaton homes need pumps that can handle 2,500-4,000 gallons per hour, but some situations require more capacity. We measure your space, check your existing drainage, and look at factors like window wells and foundation age to recommend the right size. Oversizing wastes energy and money, while undersizing leaves you vulnerable to flooding.
In Wheaton, yes – battery backup is worth having. Our area sees power outages during the same storms that cause the most basement flooding. Your sump pump can’t protect you if it has no power when you need it most. Battery backup systems kick in automatically when power goes out and can run for several hours, which covers most typical outages. We recommend backup systems for any home where basement flooding would cause significant damage or disruption.
Installation costs vary based on your specific situation, but most residential installations range from $800-$2,500. Simple pump replacements in existing pits cost less, while new installations requiring excavation, electrical work, and discharge piping cost more. Battery backup systems, higher-capacity pumps, and complex drainage situations increase the price. We provide upfront estimates so you know exactly what you’re paying before work begins, with no surprise charges or hidden fees.
Sump pumps need annual testing and basic maintenance to stay reliable. You should test your pump before storm season by pouring water into the pit to make sure it activates and pumps properly. Check that the discharge pipe isn’t blocked and the backup battery holds a charge. We recommend professional maintenance every 2-3 years to clean the pump, check electrical connections, and replace worn parts before they fail. Regular maintenance prevents emergency breakdowns during storms.
Yes, we handle all required permits and coordinate inspections when needed. Wheaton requires permits for certain types of sump pump installations, especially new electrical work or significant plumbing changes. We know local requirements and make sure everything is done to code. This protects you from potential issues when selling your home and ensures your installation meets safety standards. We schedule inspections at convenient times and handle any follow-up requirements with the city.
