Twenty-Three Years Keeping Basements Dry

We’ve been protecting Chicago-area homes since 2001. We know exactly what Brookfield homeowners face when it comes to basement flooding—because we’ve seen it all.

Our family-owned company watched neighborhoods deal with that brutal July 2010 storm that dumped seven inches of rain on Brookfield in 24 hours. We’ve handled everything from spring snowmelt to summer downpours that turn basements into swimming pools. We understand that reliable flood protection isn’t just about good equipment—it’s about installation that accounts for our soil conditions, drainage patterns, and the reality of Cook County weather.

Licensed, bonded, and insured, we treat your home like our own. Because in a community this size, reputation matters.

Sump Pump Installation Process

From Assessment to Protection in One Day

We start by assessing your basement to determine the best sump pump system for your specific situation. We check current drainage, measure water flow patterns, and identify anything that could affect performance down the road.

Next comes preparation—excavating a sump pit if you don’t have one, or removing your old pump and inspecting all components if you do. No shortcuts here, because the foundation work determines whether your system will work when it counts.

Then the actual installation: positioning your new sump pump, connecting discharge lines, testing the float switch, ensuring proper electrical connections. We test everything thoroughly before we leave your property. Finally, we walk you through basic maintenance and give you our emergency contact information—because we know pump problems don’t follow business hours.

Brookfield Basement Flood Prevention

Built for Brookfield's Weather Reality

Your sump pump installation includes everything needed to handle Brookfield’s specific flooding risks. We install submersible or pedestal pumps based on your basement layout, with discharge systems designed to move water away from your foundation effectively—not just dump it somewhere and hope.

Battery backup systems are available for homes that need protection during power outages. Critical during severe storms when the electrical grid fails right when you need your pump most. We also install check valves to prevent backflow and ensure your system connects properly to storm sewers or designated drainage areas.

Every installation meets Cook County building codes and includes a comprehensive warranty on parts and labor. We use equipment rated for the heavy water volumes that occur during our area’s intense rainfall events—systems that won’t quit when you need them most. Because there’s a difference between a pump that works and a pump that works when it matters.

Sump pump installation costs typically range from $800 to $2,500 depending on the type of pump, installation complexity, and whether you need features like battery backup. Basic pedestal pump installations start around $800, while submersible pumps with backup systems can reach $2,500. Your final cost depends on factors like basement size, existing drainage, and whether concrete cutting is required. We provide upfront pricing with no hidden fees—you know exactly what you’re paying before work begins. We also offer free estimates to help you understand your options and budget accordingly, because surprise bills are the last thing you need during a plumbing emergency.
Submersible sump pumps are typically the best choice for Brookfield homes because they’re more powerful, quieter, and better equipped to handle the heavy water volumes we get during intense storms. They operate fully submerged and can pump 40-60 gallons per minute—critical when you’re dealing with the kind of rainfall that hit us in 2010. Pedestal pumps work for smaller basements or homes with minimal flooding risk, but they’re louder and less powerful. For homes in flood-prone areas near Salt Creek or other low-lying sections of Brookfield, submersible pumps with battery backup provide the most reliable protection. The right choice depends on your specific basement conditions and realistic flooding risk assessment.
Most sump pump replacement services take 2-4 hours when you already have a system in place, or 4-8 hours for new installations requiring sump pit excavation. Timeline depends on whether concrete cutting is needed, discharge line routing complexity, and electrical work required. Emergency replacements can often be completed the same day you call, especially if you have existing sump pit and electrical connections. We stock common pump models and parts on our trucks, so we handle most installations without delays for ordering parts. We’ll give you a realistic timeline estimate when we assess your specific situation—no vague promises about “sometime this week.”
Battery backup systems are highly recommended for Brookfield homes, especially if you’ve experienced power outages during storms. When severe weather hits, power failures often occur exactly when you need your sump pump most—Murphy’s Law in action. Homes in lower-lying areas or those with previous flooding history should definitely consider battery backup. The additional cost is minimal compared to potential water damage from even one failure. A backup system provides 4-8 hours of protection during outages, which covers most storm-related power interruptions. We can assess your specific flooding risk and help you decide if backup power makes sense for your situation and budget.
Test your sump pump every 3-4 months and schedule professional maintenance annually to ensure reliable operation. Most pumps last 7-10 years with proper maintenance, though submersible pumps may need replacement sooner if they run frequently during wet seasons. Warning signs include strange noises, frequent cycling on and off, failure to activate during rain, or visible rust and corrosion. Don’t wait until your pump fails during a storm—if it’s over 7 years old or showing warning signs, have it inspected. We offer maintenance services and can spot potential problems before they become expensive emergencies that happen at 2 AM during thunderstorms.
We provide 24/7 emergency sump pump repair service, with technicians often arriving within an hour of your call. We carry replacement pumps and parts on our trucks, so many failures can be resolved the same day, even during active storms. If your pump fails and water is already entering your basement, we can provide temporary pumping solutions while installing a permanent replacement. Time is critical during flooding situations—which is why we prioritize emergency calls and maintain fully stocked service vehicles. Our emergency number connects you directly to on-call technicians who understand that pump failures can’t wait until Monday morning.
