Sump Pump Repair & Installation in Chicago

A sump pump is installed at the lowest point of your home—typically in a basement or crawl space. When rain falls or snowmelt results in liquid buildup around your home, the sump pump’s float switch clicks on and begins pumping the water away from your home to a drain or detention pond.rnrnBy doing this, the sump pump ensures that the areas of your home that are below the water table won’t flood when inundated with water. Having a working sump pump is a necessity if your home has a basement.

Many homeowners could avoid a great deal of expense and heartache by having their sump pump inspected once per year. Unfortunately, the sump pump is often out-of-sight, out-of-mind until it’s needed and it fails.
