Emergency Sump Pump Repair And Installation (Naperville, IL)

A sump pump is the heartbeat of your basement's drainage system, serving as a crucial element in reducing the risk of flood damage to your home. In many homes across the Midwest, a small pit (18" - 24” in diameter) with a black lid is commonly found in the corner of the basement. Submersed into the pit at the lowest point of your house, the pump is designed to accumulate water from your interior or exterior draintile system, alleviating unwanted water pressure from your basement floor and footer. Simply put, the sump pump helps maintain the water table below the basement floor.

How It Works:

Most days, the sump pump remains idle. However, when rain occurs and the water table rises, it springs into action. Excess groundwater is directed toward the sump pit through a network of draintile pipes, causing the pit to fill with water. The sump pump float switch is then activated, initiating the pump to remove the water from the pit and redirect it to an exit point away from your foundation. In Chicago city limits, the discharge goes into the city's combined sewer system.
