Sump Pump System Installation Process

Professional Installation From Start to Finish

First, we assess your basement’s lowest point and determine the right location for your sump pit. We dig the pit to proper depth and install the liner that will house your pump.

Next, we connect the discharge pipe that carries water away from your foundation. This pipe runs outside and directs water to a safe drainage area away from your home.

Then we install and test your sump pump system. We make sure the float switch activates at the right water level and that the pump cycles properly. You’ll see exactly how it works before we leave.

We clean up completely and walk you through basic maintenance so you know what normal operation sounds like.

Most residential sump pump installations take 4-6 hours from start to finish. This includes digging the pit, installing the liner, running discharge pipes, and testing the complete system. Complex installations with longer discharge runs or battery backup systems may take a full day. We’ll give you an accurate timeframe after assessing your specific situation and discussing your needs.
Pump size depends on your basement size, water volume, and how quickly water enters during heavy rains. Most Streamwood homes need 1/3 to 1/2 horsepower pumps, but larger basements or homes with severe water issues may require 3/4 horsepower units. We measure your space and assess local water patterns to recommend the right pump capacity. Undersized pumps can’t keep up during storms, while oversized pumps cycle too frequently and wear out faster.
Yes, Streamwood requires permits for sump pump installations to ensure proper drainage and code compliance. We handle all permit applications and inspections as part of our service. Permits ensure your installation meets local building codes and won’t cause drainage problems for neighboring properties. Unpermitted installations can create issues when selling your home or filing insurance claims after water damage.
Most homeowners spend between $1,100 and $1,700 for professional sump pump installation in Streamwood. The final cost depends on pump type, installation complexity, and whether you need battery backup systems. Concrete floor installations cost more due to excavation requirements. We provide upfront pricing with no hidden fees, so you know exactly what you’re paying before any work begins.

We’ll assess your flood risk, power reliability, and budget to recommend whether backup power makes sense for your situation.
