Sump Pumps in Elgin
Let Us Help You Keep Your Basement Dry
Sump pumps solve problems with leaking and flooding in basements and crawl spaces. The pumps switch on automatically to remove water before it can flood the basement. Amy Home Services offers installation, repair, and maintenance of sump pumps. When you need an Elgin plumber to install a new pump or fix an issue with your existing pump, get in touch with us for the best quality products and service.
Sump Pump Installation & Replacement
Sump pumps are installed at the lowest point of the house, usually the basement, to prevent flooding. The presence of water triggers a float switch, which starts the pump. The water is then pumped away from your home, keeping your basement or crawlspace dry. The pump is usually hard-wired into the electrical system of the home. In the event that the power goes out, many models have a battery backup or you can install a water powered backup system.
