Why Is Your Naperville Basement Flooding?
Where you see water tells us a lot:
Up the Floor Drain
A sewer problem: roots, a cracked line or a system overloaded by rain.
Along the Walls
Groundwater, and a sump or drainage problem.
Over the Sump Pit
The pump failed, lost power or can't keep up.
From a Pipe
A leak or burst pipe. Shut off the main.
Basement Flooding in Naperville Homes
Naperville knows what big water looks like. In July 1996, a record of nearly 17 inches of rain fell in 24 hours in nearby Aurora, and both branches of the DuPage River overflowed.
Rain Gets Into Cracked Sewer Lines
Rain and groundwater enter through cracked laterals and fill the line. That's why backups often happen during heavy storms.
Sump Pumps Must Drain Outside
The city says sump pumps should discharge outside, not into the sanitary sewer. A pump tied into the sewer adds to the problem.
The Right Fix for the Right Water
Groundwater needs a sump pump. Sewer water needs clearing, a backflow valve or an overhead sewer system.
Finished Basements Have the Most to Lose
Carpet, drywall and furniture soak up water fast. Knowing which protection your basement has, and which it's missing, is the best way to avoid an expensive cleanup.
Basement Waterproofing
Waterproofing is the fix when groundwater is coming through the foundation, not up a drain. Signs include damp walls, water at the joint between the wall and floor, white chalky deposits and puddles after rain with no drain backing up.
Interior drain tile and a sump pump work together to collect the water and send it outside. Before recommending anything, we confirm the water is coming through the foundation, not from a leak or a sewer backup.

"I had water backing up in the basement on a Sunday. I called them and he came an hour later. John figured out the problem quickly-ejector pump, and what to do if it happens again. I did get an estimate for a new one if it needs replacing."
★★★★★
"Andrew A and Andrew M were remarkable!!!! We were in such a panic - just moving into our new home that day and they were professional and so knowledgeable! They are amazing!!!"

Basement Flooding Questions From Naperville Homeowners
A plumber, to stop the source. Then a restoration company.
A plumber first, if water is still coming in. We stop the source, then a restoration company can dry and clean the basement.
Groundwater rises or the sewer fills. The cause decides the fix.
In heavy rain, groundwater rises faster than an older sump pump can handle, or rain gets into cracked sewer lines and fills them. We'll find out which happened in your basement.
Often not without a sewer backup rider or flood coverage. Check your policy.
Standard policies often don't cover groundwater or sewer backups without extra coverage. A sudden pipe failure may be covered. Check with your insurer. We document the cause.
A sump pump removes groundwater. An ejector pump moves basement wastewater to the sewer.
A sump pump removes groundwater from a pit and sends it outside. An ejector pump lifts wastewater from a basement bathroom or laundry up to the sewer line.
It depends on the cause. You get a flat price first.
It depends on the cause. A sump pump is a different job than an overhead sewer or waterproofing. We give you a flat-rate price before any work begins.
