Sump Pump Installation Process Dixmoor

Here's How We Install Your System

First, we assess your basement’s lowest point and evaluate your current drainage situation. Every home is different, so we determine the right location and size for your sump pit.

Next, we dig the sump pit and install the basin with proper waterproofing. We connect your new pump to a discharge system that directs water safely away from your foundation—at least five feet from your house to prevent water from seeping back.

Finally, we test the entire system to make sure it activates properly and moves water efficiently. We’ll show you how to test it yourself so you can verify everything works before the next big storm hits.

What You Get With Our Installation

Your sump pump installation includes the pump unit, properly sized sump basin, discharge piping, and electrical connections. We use high-quality, reliable pumps built for Chicago’s demanding conditions.

For Dixmoor homes, we often recommend battery backup systems. When storms knock out power—which happens—your backup system keeps pumping water out automatically. You stay protected even when the lights go out.

We also include a one-year warranty on parts and labor because we stand behind our work. Plus, you get upfront pricing with no surprise charges, even for emergency calls.

Sump pump installation in the Dixmoor area typically ranges from $800 to $2,500, with most homeowners paying around $1,500. The exact cost depends on your pump type, basement conditions, and whether you need additional features like battery backup. Submersible pumps cost more than pedestal pumps but handle larger volumes of water. If we need to cut through concrete or install new electrical connections, that affects pricing too. We provide upfront estimates so you know exactly what you’re paying before we start work.
Most sump pumps last 5-7 years in Chicago’s demanding conditions, though some can run effectively for up to 10 years with proper maintenance. The frequent storms and temperature fluctuations in our area put extra stress on these systems. Submersible pumps typically have shorter lifespans (around 5-7 years) because they’re constantly submerged, while pedestal pumps can last longer since the motor stays above water. Regular testing and maintenance help extend your pump’s life and ensure it works when you need it most.
Yes, battery backup is highly recommended for Dixmoor homes. Severe storms that cause flooding are often the same storms that knock out power, leaving your primary pump useless when you need it most. A battery backup system automatically kicks in when your main pump fails or loses power. It provides several hours of protection, giving you time to address the situation or wait for power restoration. Given how common power outages are during Chicago storms, the backup system often pays for itself the first time it prevents flooding.
Test your sump pump every 3-4 months, and always before storm season starts. Pour a bucket of water into the sump pit—the pump should turn on within seconds, remove the water, and shut off automatically. Check that the float moves freely and the discharge pipe isn’t blocked by debris or ice. If your pump doesn’t respond quickly or makes unusual noises, call us for service. It’s much better to discover problems during a test than during an actual storm when you need the system working perfectly.
If your sump pump fails during active flooding, call us immediately for emergency service. We provide 24/7 emergency response because we know pump failures don’t wait for convenient times. While waiting for our technician, try to remove as much water as possible using buckets or a wet vacuum if it’s safe to do so. Move valuable items to higher ground and avoid electrical hazards. Our emergency team typically arrives within 1-2 hours to assess the situation and get your protection restored.
Sump pump installation requires cutting through basement floors, electrical work, and proper drainage connections—it’s not a DIY project. Improper installation can lead to system failure when you need it most, or worse, create new flooding risks. Professional installation ensures your pump is properly sized, correctly positioned, and connected to adequate discharge systems. We also handle permits and ensure everything meets local building codes. The peace of mind that comes with professional installation is worth far more than the cost difference, especially when protecting your home’s foundation.
