Water Heaters
Repair and replacement for tank and tankless water heaters that leak, make noise or run out of hot water too fast.
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.

Don't wait for the next storm:
Pour water in the pit. No start means a float or motor problem.
A stuck float, a failed check valve or a pump that's too small.
Worn bearings or debris in the impeller.
A storm that knocks out power leaves you unprotected.
In September 2008, about 9 inches of rain fell on Geneva in two days, and basements flooded across much of Kane County.
Many historic homes had sump pits added long after they were built. Some are small or shallow and struggle in a big storm.
More than 4 in 10 homes were built after 1990. Many still have their original builder-grade pumps, and those are past their prime.
Storms knock out power. A backup keeps pumping when the main pump can't.
A short or frozen discharge line sends water right back to the foundation.
Proven before we leave.
Pump, float, check valve, discharge and backup.
With clear options.
We fill the pit and watch it run.

Often, yes.

Usually 7 to 10 years.
Most last somewhere around 7 to 10 years, less if they run often.
If you have a finished basement, yes.
If your basement is finished or holds anything you care about, yes.
Outside, away from 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.
It depends on the pump, pit and backup. You'll approve a flat price first.
It depends on the pump, any pit or check valve work and whether you add a backup. You'll approve a flat-rate price before we start.
