Chicago Basement Flood Protection – We Install & Repair Sump Pumps

Serving the greater Chicagoland community for years!

A sump pump is an essential part of guarding your basement against flooding, especially in the Chicago area where the water table is higher than in other areas of the country.  What is a sump pump?  A sump pump is designed to direct excess water in the ground away from the basement and foundation of a home and into an area waste water system.

A sump pump protects a basement and adds to property value in several ways.  It is the ultimate protection against basement flooding and can keep a basement dry even in sudden rain storms when the groundwater and wastewater system can become suddenly overwhelmed by all of the excess water.  By also keeping the foundation of a home at an optimum level of moisture and alleviating excess water around it, water will be less likely to intrude on the foundation to cause cracks or breaks.  Your home’s foundation will then be stronger and last longer.

Scottish Plumber technicians are specially trained to expertly install any kind of sump pump, but also to help you determine which type of sump pump is the best fit for your basement.  We do this by taking into account several critical factors, such as the regional wastewater systems, flooding potential and history of the village or block, shape and foundation of the home, and more.

Professional, Courteous Plumbing Service for Sump Pump Installation

A Scottish Plumber’s goal for installing a sump pump is that you can walk away from it and never have to worry about it again: most of the pumps we install come with a minimum of a 10-year warranty and range from small pumps for smaller homes up to pumps large enough to drain a lake like Loch Ness.  Some of our more permanent pump models even have a life expectancy of 40 to 60 years – which is a long time to not have to worry about your basement flooding.  We also have many battery back-up systems to choose from, to keep your pump working even during power outages.

If you already have a sump pump, but are worried that it needs maintenance or is not working properly, contact The Scottish Plumber today and we will provide a complete inspection of your system and guide you through your options for repair or replacement.
