"What a great company! The owner Luis was a gem. Had a foundation problem in our basement and Luis called that morning and was out the same afternoon to give us a quote. The work was done as soon as weather permitted, within a week. He did a great job, our landscape was put back neatly and would definitely recommend him!! Thank you Luis!"

"Jacob Gross performed a free inspection of my home & the sump pump previously installed by Perma-Seal. We discussed the Perma-Dry system which Jacob highly recommended. After he throughly explained the benefits of this Aprilaire system compared to a traditional portable dehumidifier I made the purchase and had him install the unit. Jacob was timely, polite, professional, and did quick and neat work. I would highly recommend Jacob and Perma-Seal."

"Cornell made sure someone would be there same day to repair even with a full schedule and delivered on the promise. Extremely pleased with the work performed by Steven. Offered to repair or replace. We chose to replace based on his straightforward explanation of each option. He replaced same day and it was a lot of hard work. Steven was friendly and professional. Great work. I definitely would recommend and use again."

"Issue was due to pump being incorrectly installed by different plumbing company. They fixed the issue and didn't try to get me to just buy a new pump like some companies would."

"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!!"

"I opted to have a new sump pump installed since the one I had was cheap and probably ready to fail. The technician did the installation and replaced the battery and made sure the installation was up to code. He also did a courtesy check of my hot water heater and ejector systems. Sam was very thorough and explained every part of the process."

"Not that anyone ever wants to talk about clogged drains, but I have to tell you how awesome the service from ECONO Sewer and Drain is. Our washing machine was backing up into the basement as it was overflowing our floor drain. Econo was fast, super professional, kept everything clean and problem solved under 2 hours! We are really happy with the truly great service that we received from Charlie and the tech, just when you start to think good service providers didn't exist anymore! Thanks ECONO - your the best!"

"I woke up to my backup sump pump alarm going off. I attempted to resolve the alarm myself but couldn't figure out the issue. I put in a request for service and Wagner and Sons called me back within 5 minutes. They asked some clarifying questions and advised that they could swing by between 11am and 12pm, the truck rolled into my driveway at 10:58! Mike Wagner serviced my pump, he was very professional and even took the time to explain to me how the pump works and what some other issues to look out for are. He showed me how he determined that the backup and main pump were shot and went through my options. He said that I could replace the current 1/3hp pump but that he recommended a 1/2hp pump because my property grading isn't great. He said he could replace the backup at the same time but was honest about it being something that can be done at anytime and wasn't necessary to do right away. Ultimately I approved the 1/2hp main pump and declined the back up pump. After that he was able to replace the pump in 40 minutes before going on his way. I really appreciate the honesty, transparency, and explanations of service and equipment. I am very satisfied with the overall service and I saved his card for future services."

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