"Horatio and his team took my "sump pump turns on every minute, don't know where all this water is coming from" issue to their heart which is heartwarming to experience. They diagnosed the problem by spending like 4 hours at my place and when we could not figure out the exact cause, they did help narrow it down to being either a broken intake pipe or high water table. They also put a temporary reroute for ground water to rule out any issues with the sewer line which is the case sometimes. They replaced one of my broken sump pump too for a reasonable price."
Pipe was completely packed! Drain cleaning was not going to do the  job here!

"We are new homeowners and had a hole in our septic tank made of concrete block, which was sending wastewater into the foundation/basement of the home. It was my first time using Angie's List, and I would recommend Illinois Sewer and Drain to anyone. Joe and his team of experts solved our issue immediately at an affordable price. They even went above and beyond to install a sump pump in our basement to help with the rain water. Quality work!!"

"The technician came out after-hours to look at my sump-pump, which was stuck in the "on" position. He got it working properly, then we discussed pros and cons of keeping a 10-year-old pump. I opted to replace, and he was back the next day, on time. He put the new unit in and tested it. Something was not right with the backup pump. He brought a whole new setup the next day and completed the job. This company has seasoned technicians who have been with them for years."

"Installed a sump pump in our crawling space. They were really great to work with, responded very quickly, were able to assess the project accurately and give us a very competitive quote. Was very efficient and completed the project in half a day. They were friendly and happy to answer all of our questions as well as give us a range of options. Would definitely hire again."

"I first discussed this job with Patrick in October 2018 as they were out to remedy an issue with my old catch basin and I wanted to budget for the basin. I got an estimate and called in February 2019 to schedule to get the work done. Patrick was responsive to the request to schedule the work. They got all the materials upfront and I paid half at the start and the balance after the completion. It took two days to complete the job. They also added new main drain line from the basin to the house. They camera inspected the line before leaving. I also got a 10 year warranty that is transferable if I sell the home. This is the second job that Patrick worked on at my rental and I am happy with the work and cost. Also he looked at a slow draining sink for us. Patrick is very knowledgeable and reliable."

Customers say: True professional

"He responded to my call right away. He worked on a early Saturday morning so that we would be able to move into our house on time. I found his prices to be competitive, lower than other repairs services I had got estimates from. He also helped me save money buying my water heater directly from the service provider.
I really enjoyed working with Charlie, he is friendly, and knowledgeable. Everything he installed and repaired is working great. Things that stuck out about Charlie is he is exacting, neat and took pride in his craftsmanship. The repairs were done with impressive high quality. He is very clear and thorough about costs changes, receipts, and warranties. He even followed-up with me to make sure I had all the paperwork, receipts, and if everything was working well. He didn't show up quite at the scheduled time but he called to give me a heads up that he was running a late and when he would get there. Charlie is great, he is on my favorites list and I wil.l use his services in the future.

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

A standard sump pump installation takes two to four hours to complete. The process includes creating or preparing the sump pit, positioning the pump correctly, connecting drainage lines, and setting up electrical components. Installation time may vary depending on your home's specific conditions and whether you're replacing an existing pump or installing a completely new system.

Permit requirements for sump pump installation vary by location. Some municipalities require permits for new installations, particularly when they involve electrical work or modifications to your home's drainage system. It's always best to check with your local building department before beginning installation to ensure compliance with regional regulations and avoid potential penalties.

On average, pedestal sump pumps last 20 to 25 years, while submersible pumps last five to 15 years. However, a manufacturer's warranty can provide guidance on expected lifespan. Consider replacement if you notice unusual noises, frequent cycling, or visible corrosion. Regular maintenance can help maximize your pump's operational life, but replacement is advisable as your unit approaches the end of its expected service period.

Most standard homeowners' insurance policies don't cover sump pump installation as it's considered a preventative measure rather than a response to covered damage. However, some insurers offer additional water damage coverage options that might include sump pump-related protection. Review your policy details or consult with your insurance provider to understand your specific coverage limitations regarding water management systems.
