Sump Pump Installation Process

Here's Exactly What Happens During Installation

First, we assess your basement’s lowest point and check your current drainage situation. We’re looking for the best location to install your sump pit and determining what size pump you actually need – not what we want to sell you.

Next, we dig the sump pit to the right depth and install the pump system with proper discharge piping. Everything gets connected to a dedicated electrical outlet (never an extension cord – that’s dangerous). We test the entire system to make sure it activates properly and pumps water away from your foundation.

Finally, we walk you through how your new system works and what to watch for. You’ll know exactly how to test it yourself and when to call for maintenance. Most installations take 2-4 hours, and we clean up completely when we’re done.

How much does sump pump installation cost in Bedford Park, IL?

Sump pump installation in the Bedford Park area typically ranges from $800 to $2,500, depending on the type of pump and complexity of installation. A basic pedestal pump installation runs $800-$1,200, while submersible pumps with battery backup can cost $1,500-$2,500. The final cost depends on factors like whether we need to cut through concrete, the depth of the sump pit, and any electrical work required. We provide upfront pricing before we start work, so you’ll know exactly what you’re paying with no surprise charges. Most installations take 2-4 hours to complete, and we clean up completely when we’re finished.

What type of sump pump works best for Bedford Park homes?

For most Bedford Park homes, we recommend submersible sump pumps with battery backup systems. The clay-rich soil in this area doesn’t drain well, and spring storms can cause power outages right when you need your pump most. Submersible pumps handle higher water volumes and run quieter than pedestal pumps. The battery backup ensures your basement stays protected even during power outages. For homes with frequent minor water issues, a pedestal pump might be sufficient and costs less upfront. We assess your specific situation – basement size, typical water levels, and flood risk – to recommend the right system for your home and budget.

How long does a sump pump installation take?

Most sump pump installations take 2-4 hours to complete from start to finish. If you already have a sump pit, installation might take closer to 2 hours. New installations requiring pit excavation typically take 3-4 hours. The timeline can extend if we need to cut through concrete flooring or run new electrical lines. We’ll give you an accurate time estimate during our initial assessment based on your specific situation. We work efficiently but never rush the job. Proper installation is critical for reliable operation, so we take the time needed to do it right the first time.

Do I need a battery backup sump pump system?

In the Chicago area, battery backup systems are highly recommended. Spring storms often knock out power right when heavy rains are flooding basements. Your primary pump becomes useless without electricity. Battery backup systems automatically kick in when the power goes out or your primary pump fails. They can run for 8-12 hours on a full charge, which covers most power outages. The peace of mind is worth the additional cost, especially if you store valuable items in your basement. We can install battery backup with any new sump pump system or add it to existing installations.

How often should I test my sump pump system?

Test your sump pump every 3-4 months, and always before storm season. Pour a bucket of water into the sump pit to make sure the pump activates and drains properly. Check that the discharge line isn’t blocked and water flows away from your foundation. Also inspect the pump annually for debris in the pit, ensure it’s sitting upright, and verify the backup battery holds a charge. We recommend professional maintenance once a year to clean the system and check all components. Regular testing catches problems before they become disasters. A pump that fails during a storm can cause thousands in water damage.

What happens if my sump pump fails during a storm?

Call us immediately at our 24/7 emergency number. We provide same-day emergency service because sump pump failures during storms can cause extensive water damage in hours. While waiting for our technician, remove valuable items from your basement if possible and try to redirect water away from your foundation. Don’t attempt electrical repairs yourself – water and electricity are dangerous. We stock common replacement parts and pumps on our service trucks for faster repairs. Our goal is to get your basement protection restored as quickly as possible to minimize damage and get your peace of mind back.
