"This summer our basement flooded not once, but twice.  It is a finished basement and the flooding created quite a problem.  We had just "cleaned up" after the first "flood" and were trying to find some one to repair the problem when our basement flooded again.  Several contractors came to our home and gave us estimates.  All but one contractor was quick to tell us "This was only an estimate.  The price WAS NOT firm because they had no way to know what kind of problems they may encounter."  Only one contractor broke it down by "sections."  If it was just the sump pumps it would be this much; if we needed drain tile it would be this much more etc.etc.  Paul was also the only one to guarantee his work if we did what he suggested.  We agreed on a price and work was to start the next week.  Paul Noticed our water soaked carpets and volunteered industrial dehumidifiers, and fans.  (These rent for around $300.00 each a day!)  Paul and his crew brought over the fans and dehumidifiers and set everything up.  When the work began, we had a very happy surprise.  Unebeknown to us we had drain tile.  If Paul were not an honest man, we would have paid for something we did not need. Our sump pumps were replaced, and a few minor problems corrected  and our basement has been dry ever since.  To this day, I still do not know what a drain tile is, but if I ever need one (or more)  I will call

"Went well to this point of replacing parts. Then the United needed to have a system leak test and then needed freon put in pump. This was refused by Choice warranty. We were left with a partial repair and a heat pump not able to do it's job."

"Initially, it went well. But I didn’t know what I didn’t know. The diagnosis of the problem was incomplete. Two large basement wall cracks (clearly visible at the time because wet dry wall had been removed) also contributed to the water issues and they were never discussed. In the fall of 2017, I came home from an overseas trip to find 2 inches of mud in my basement which had poured in over the drain tile installed by PermaJack. I reached out to the company a couple of times and was told I would be contacted the next week for an inspection. But this never happened. On the advice of my real estate agent, I turned to a different company for an inspection. The cracks were clearly diagnosed as a major issue. And when the drain tile/sump pump system installed by PermaJack was inspected, it was found that the drain tile was improperly installed. The pipe laying in the drain tile reservoir was twisted so that only a third of the holes in the pipe would even come into contact with water at any one time. In other words the system was easily overwhelmed and shouldn’t have been. In addition, the system should have been installed under the sill, the wooden board I left in place after ripping out the dry wall. Because it was installed in front of the sill, it never came into contact with the corner of the foundation and water could easily come into the basement over the drain tile. I realize at the time of the installation there was lots of water damage throughout St. Louis from the massive spring storm. But in retrospect, it seems like the job was rushed and for that reason it was not done properly. Also, when I reached out to the company to inspect their work, they were fairly unresponsive. They did say they would call me, but they never did."

FAQs for sump pump repair or replace projects in New Athens, IL

Sump pumps last about 10 years with proper maintenance and prompt repairs. Several factors can influence your sump pump’s lifespan, such as usage, environmental conditions, and installation. Premium sump pumps with heavy-duty motors and quality components tend to last longer than lower-cost models. Pedestal sump pumps usually last longer than submersible models since they’re not constantly exposed to water.

A basement French drain is a drainage system installed in basements or around a building’s foundation to redirect water and prevent flooding. This system features a trench with a perforated pipe that catches and transports water away. These systems can crack, freeze, or clog, potentially resulting in flooding or strain on your sump pump.

You can use a sump pump in your yard to minimize pooling water and landscape damage, but it’s best used in conjunction with other drainage systems. This can include French drains, trench drains, underground downspouts, and other equipment. Proper lawn care, such as soil aeration and native plants, also aids with drainage.
