"Needed two leaking hot water tanks replaced. Wagner & Sons was immediately responsive, gave me a full quote over the phone with a couple pictures, and showed up and installed NEXT DAY! Best service and best price, period! Everyone else insisted on me spending the day at home while a "Tech" (high pressure salesman) trapesed through my house giving me quotes that were 20-50% higher for same products!"

"He did an awesome job! I had the following installed through out the last few years... Water heater, faucets, outside spickets, garbage disposal, tub spicket and shower head replacements and many more things. Easy to talk with and he understands 'the thingy' and 'the whatchamacallit' language. Good sense of humor and very professional. He knows his stuff!"

FAQs for sump pump or interior foundation drains installation projects in Capron, IL

Most residential pumps draw approximately 1,300 to 2,900 watts when they first start, then settle at roughly 800 to 1,050 watts during normal operation. The exact number depends on the motor’s horsepower and how often the float switch tells the pump to run. Even at the high end, the electricity cost is minor compared with the expense of cleaning up a flooded basement.

Grab a ruler and an empty 18‑inch‑wide pit. During a steady rain, time how much the water rises in one minute. Multiply that depth (in inches) by 60 to calculate gallons per hour, then add 50% for safety. If the result tops 2,100 gallons per hour—about 35 gallons a minute—you’ll need a 3/4‑horsepower unit. Anything lower, and a 1/3- or 1/2-horsepower pump should do the trick.

Loud rattling, constant cycling, or shuddering vibrations are the pump’s way of telling you it’s on its last legs. Musty smells, higher electric bills, and visible rust are other red flags. If the unit is 10 years old or older and exhibits any of these symptoms, replace it before the next heavy rain turns your basement into a wading pool.

You don’t have to hire a licensed plumber, but you should still bring in someone who installs sump pumps for a living—whether that’s a plumber, basement‑waterproofing specialist, or experienced handyman. They know the local codes, can wire the pump safely, and will test the system before they leave. Skipping professional help might void the warranty and could leave you with a pump that fails when you need it most.

Not every basement needs a pump, but if your home sits in a floodplain, has a high water table, or has ever taken on water during a storm, a sump pump is inexpensive insurance. For basements that only struggle with condensation or the occasional damp spot, sealing cracks and improving drainage may be all that is needed.
