"Basement waterproofing is expensive! I had no idea! However, Luis was great, he explained everything, took his time answering my many questions, responded whenever I contacted him, was polite and professional and his crew was too! I would hire them again and would recommend them. Our project is in Lake Zurich IL."

"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!

"This was my first experience with J&S Plumbing, and I was very pleased. The outside discharge pipe from my basement sump pump had developed a leak and was flooding my yard. Despite the fact that the ground was saturated, they were able to dig down, find the leak, repair it, and then did a great job putting back all the mud and grass so that it is level. I will definitely call them the next time I need a plumber."

"Ryans team replaced PVC from the well tank to the Water Conditioning System, removed an unnecessary bypass manifold, and replaced the treated water to the Kitchen. The drinking water osmosis tank was relocated and connected to the refridgerator water/ice dispensers. Drain pipe from kitchen to septic system was replaced. More room, via better placement of components and some 'heads up' regarding our newer Hot water heater. Super clead and effecient ! I highly recommend BOESCHE Plumbing !"

"I wanted to replace my kitchen faucet but there was no need. The repair person was very upfront and honest and that saved me a lot of money. He tightened a leak and put on a water purifier. In Addition, very professional, honest, and on time for the start of work! He more dedicated to his company then most owners. Yes, I would highly recommend DLA Sewer & Drain to homeowners and businesses. Thank you!"

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