More than 75% of households and commercial buildings in the greater Chicagoland community oftentimes have significant space beneath the main level. The traditional sq. footage of any home or business is commonly referred to as the basement. In some instances, a crawl space is next to or below the living quarters and can even be located underneath a back porch or in a corner area of the basement. More important than its location is its purpose: i.e., it may not serve the same purpose as a full basement in a home, it does however have a function: as with a basement, it can provide an access area for the Sump Pump that otherwise would be under 3-6 feet of ground making it nearly impossible to get near in order to trouble-shoot, fix, or replace. Many homeowners today have taken the additional square footage referred to as the basement, and created a fully functional and liveable apartment! In cases such as that, a furnished or finished basement area is not something any homeowner wa=nts to have to replace due oa water leak because of a sump pump or significant rain. Imagine that is your home, complete with the full basement that you have invested time, money, energy and commitment into in order to make an apartment to add a tenant creating additional income. The investment alone for a basement finish can start at $35,000 and go as high as your imagination and taste takes you. Now imagine having created that space and renting it out, a 4 inch rain befalls the area, and you presume, as so many Chicagoans do, that the sump pit and correlating products - such as the pump and its battery backup are going to do their job. Until you get a call from that tenant who says that 4 inch rain is actually accumulating in their living room, in that beautiful basement apartment. The damages are not just the new flooring and drywall you put in to create this apartment, but it extends to the tenant and their belongings and their right to peaceful enjoyment of their space. ALL of it shattered because of a little rain - unexpected m- yet common at the same time….now what? Let Sump Pump m911 tell you what is next and provide you the peace of mind you and your tenant need in a time of turmoil such as described.

The sump pump may not be a household appliance you consider when you list the items that require upkeep and maintenance; however, it is the primary defense against the buildup of water in your basement and/or crawl space.

The national average for initial installation of a sump pump system can range from $2,500 up to and beyond $6,000 depending on the system and degree of work required to create the pit etc. Additionally, there are other factors, i.e., the many types of sump pumps; backup systems, secondary pumps; other water-proofing techniques beyond just a sump pit and a pump that contribute to the overall cost. Ultimately, all the above factors into the cost and lastly, an increase in cost can also come from who you call when you need sump pump help!

How does it work? In nearly all midwestern residential homes and many commercial buildings there is a space under the structure, often a crawl space but in homes it can be an expansive lower level to the home consisting of significant square footage and because it is lower than the foundation it is called the basement. Many individuals and families over the past century and a half have taken the basement and created storage additional living space for their home. Including things such as paneling, carpet, furnishings, games for the family or a wet bar for entertaining. The expense of creating a lower level space for a family or individual water is drained into the sump pit via your Drain Tile System and then ejected safely away from your home or business. It is important to make sure your sump pump is working properly and to replace the pump before it breaks down. On average, a new pump can last roughly 5-7 years, however; a battery on that same pump is likely to go out within 3 years.
