Sump Pump Installation and Repair in Geneva, IL
A sump pump that won't kick on, runs nonstop or has no backup for when the power goes out. We install and repair sump pumps and battery backups across Geneva, with a flat price you approve first. From our office on Campbell Street, 24/7.
Signs Your Sump Pump Needs Attention
Don't wait for the next storm:
It Doesn't Start When Tested
Pour water in the pit. No start means a float or motor problem.
It Runs Without Stopping
A stuck float, a failed check valve or a pump that's too small.
Loud Grinding
Worn bearings or debris in the impeller.
There's No Backup
A storm that knocks out power leaves you unprotected.
Sump Pumps in Geneva Basements
In September 2008, about 9 inches of rain fell on Geneva in two days, and basements flooded across much of Kane County.
Old Foundations, Added Pits
Many historic homes had sump pits added long after they were built. Some are small or shallow and struggle in a big storm.
Newer Homes, Original Pumps
More than 4 in 10 homes were built after 1990. Many still have their original builder-grade pumps, and those are past their prime.
Battery Backups
Storms knock out power. A backup keeps pumping when the main pump can't.
Discharge Away From the House
A short or frozen discharge line sends water right back to the foundation.

Outside, onto the yard or into a storm line, far enough from the house that it doesn't soak back in. Never into the sanitary sewer.
