"Water Leak Specialist worked with us from July thru early October.  We picked a company that did both mold removal and fixed leaks.  We had a small basement leak for some time but didn't really get worried about it until this past extremely rainy June.  We knew we had a bit of mold but it just grew uncontrollably once all that rain came.  A lot was hidden due to the huge bookcases we had in front of the affected walls.  Water Leak Specialists came in to give us a bid and immediately smelled and saw the danger.  We hired them on the spot.  They fit us into their already busy schedule so they could first work on the mold due to the danger.  Our basement door was swollen shut from all the rain and we couldn't get out the affected items so WLS fixed the door for us.  They worked two days before even asking for any $$.  They treated the area first so we could get down there and go thru some items.  They came back and tore out all the bad wallboard, treated the area for mold to be sure, left an air filter for days, etc.  We were scheduled for a trip so we waited to have the leak fixed until we got back.  They did go around the perimeter of the house and repaired holes in concrete, walls, etc., to help with water leakage.  They put in a new sump pump as the one we had wasn't working.  Another great rain revealed a major problem with a gutter drain because our basement ended up flooding.  They answered the phone late at night as we didn't know what to do and came bright and early the next morning to leave equipment  hat would soak up the water.  They also found the problem outside and fixed that.  Later we had them check for drain tiles to see if we needed to add drain to sump pump.  We didn't have any  and they did that, too.  They concreted the floor after adding the sump pump lines/drains.  Again, a lot of work done before asking for $$.  They always came when they said they would, always answered the phone or returned phone calls.  Were very polite and mindful of the cats that lived in my basement.  Carried away all of our infected moldy items,  We were extremely pleased with their work.  The fact they were concerned for our safety regarding the mold and fitted us into their schedule to take care of that meant a lot.  If there are any other leakage problems in the future, we will call them again - I trust their work.  Bryan and his company are A #1!

"Every single item that he has done at my house has been beyond excellent. Always professional in his work and timely. I have not had any issues with any work he has done and will continue to use his services. He installed a sump pump after the sump pit filled up and my basement got water. He cleaned the excess water, left a fan to air dry the basement, installed a sump pump with drainage to outside the house perfectly. 
I needed my driveway power washed and entrance, he did it in a timely manner and it looked amazing.
The overall process with the company was beyond excellent.

"Working with Beaty Home Improvements was an excellent experience for us. Everyone is so busy these days. I called three possible handyman companies, and Josh from Beaty was the only one that even called me back. Josh was super responsive and kindly found a place to work us into their schedule. A recent storm had knocked one of our 2nd story shutters down and we had a floodlight bulb that was high up that had burned out. I don't have a ladder to reach those areas, so I elected to try and find someone to take care of those items for us. To make the most of their time coming out, I also decided to go ahead and have them remove our old kitchen sink and install a new one for us while they were here. During the project I elected to go ahead and have a new disposal installed as well. Josh scheduled Kris for the work, and Kris arrived a few minutes early for the job. Kris quickly and creatively worked to resolve any little challenges encountered during the job, and he worked diligently to complete the tasks in a timely manner. He was a pleasure to chat with while he was here, and I am very pleased with the quality of his work and the care he put into it. I wouldn't hesitate to call Josh/Beaty Home Improvements if I need additional handyman work completed in the future."

FAQs for sump pump or interior foundation drains installation projects in Mascoutah, 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.
