Sump Pump Repair & Installation in Park Ridge

Park Ridge basements depend on their sump pumps during heavy spring and summer storms. A pump that hums but does not move water, cycles constantly or sits on a stuck float is a flooded basement waiting for the next downpour.

We test the pump under real conditions, check the float, check valve and discharge line, and replace worn units with properly sized pumps. We also install battery backup systems, because most basement floods happen during the storm that knocks out the power.

Signs it is time to call

Questions we get asked

Do I really need a battery backup?

If a wet basement would damage finished space, a backup is worth it. Storms that overload a sump pit are the same storms that cause power outages, and a primary pump does nothing without power.

How often should a sump pump be tested?

Test it before each wet season by pouring water into the pit and confirming the pump starts, discharges and shuts off cleanly.
