Why It Can't Wait
Your Sump Pump Is Your Basement's First Line of Defense
Illinois homeowners know how quickly groundwater and heavy precipitation can turn a dry basement into a costly problem. A properly functioning sump pump actively manages water accumulation in the sump pit and channels it safely away from your foundation — keeping your basement dry and protected.
When your sump pump fails — even briefly — rising water can damage drywall, flooring, electrical systems, and your home's structural integrity. Alta Property Services provides expert sump pump repair and installation across DuPage County and the Chicago metro area, getting your system back online fast.
Full-Service Coverage
Comprehensive Sump Pump Services in DuPage County
From emergency repairs to new system installations, Alta handles every aspect of your sump pump — including battery backup systems and drainage management.
Emergency Sump Pump Repair
Pump stopped running? Float switch stuck? We dispatch quickly to restore your system before water accumulation becomes an interior problem. Available 24 hours a day, every day of the year.
Sump Pump Replacement
Older pumps (7–10 years) become unreliable and inefficient. We'll assess your current system and recommend the right submersible or pedestal replacement — properly sized for your basement and soil conditions.
New Sump Pump Installation
Installing a sump system in a basement that doesn't have one? Alta handles full pit excavation, liner installation, pump placement, and discharge line routing to code — for both residential and commercial properties.
Battery Backup Systems
Power outages happen at the worst times. We install battery backup and water-powered backup sump systems so your basement stays protected even when the electricity goes out during heavy precipitation events.
Discharge Line Service
A clogged or frozen discharge line defeats even a perfect pump. We inspect, clean, reroute, and insulate discharge lines so collected water is directed well away from your foundation — year-round.
Sump Pit & Drainage Inspection
Annual inspection and pit cleaning extend pump life and catch problems early. We also evaluate your basement drainage management setup — including interior French drains — as part of a comprehensive basement dryness check.
Warning Signs
How to Know Your Sump Pump Needs Attention
Illinois basements face real pressure from groundwater, heavy precipitation, and spring thaw. Your sump pump works hard — and when it starts to fail, it often gives clear warning signs. Don't ignore them.
- Pump runs continuously without shutting off
- Unusual grinding, rattling, or cycling noises
- Pump doesn't activate when water level rises in the pit
- Visible rust, corrosion, or sediment buildup on pump body
- Musty odor or moisture on basement walls after heavy precipitation
- Pump is over 7 years old and has never been serviced

Posted on Google Kathi Watkins-DeitzTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Took care of problem when warranty company would not cover claim. ThanksPosted on Google Jessica RoubitchekTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I can't say enough good things about Alta Property Services. My basement flooded due to a burst hot water heater connection--right in the middle of trying to sell my home. It was a stressful situation, but Alta came through in the clutch. My realtor contacted them, and they responded quickly and professionally. They handled everything with the insurance company, which was a huge relief, and got right to work on the cleanup and restoration. Not only did they mitigate the water damage, but they also installed beautiful new flooring--all in time for us to keep our scheduled open house. Thanks to Alta, the space looked better than ever, and we were able to stay on track with the sale. I highly recommend them to anyone dealing with unexpected property damage. Fast, reliable, and truly went above and beyond.Posted on Google MichaelTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a leak in our kitchen break room. I called Alta and they had some techs on site within an hour or so. They were able to clean up the water, had mold testing done, got us a quote to replace drywall, rebuild cabinets, and put everything back together as if it never happened. We are very appreciative for the help Alta provided. All of this at a very reasonable cost as well. They are now our "go to" company for emergency services. Thank you Alex and Ron.Posted on Google Michelle SchroederTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Alta Property Services has helped my clients on projects large and small. And their work and customer service are exceptional! The owner Ron has always been quick to communicate (not always the case with contractors) and the folks he has working for him really know their stuff! Peter is one of the project managers and is not only organized but also helps come up with creative solutions when needed. Highly recommend!Posted on Google Dana StottsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our tech, Chris went above and beyond in coming to our house and completing the job. This all happened in sub zero temps in Chicago. After a long day, Chris called and provided an update on where he was and timing of when he would be able to be at the house. He was willing to come after hours (arrived at 7:30PM) and did a great job fixing 2 toilets and ensuring the job was complete before he left - and all with a smile. He was polite, professional and super helpful with explaining what he was doing. Great example of what great service looks like.Posted on Google Rachel McHughTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’m extremely happy with the service we received. We have a home warranty and Alta was dispatched to correct a plumbing issue with our toilet, it was taking forever to fill after flushing. I’ve had this problem for about 2 years now, my warranty company has sent out multiple plumbers (2-3) who’ve attempted to fix the issue but were unable and just provided me with different excuses as to why it’s not fixed, like that I have low pressure etc, when the toilet wasn’t like that when we bought the house…I’ve been under the impression we had a leak this whole time, our water bill has been outrageous so I finally called the warranty company again on the same issue and was so relieved to find out Alta was easily able to correct the problem. I guess the 3rd/4th turn is a charm. Finally a plumber who knows what they’re doing, thank you Alta! I’m hoping our water bills will be more affordable now as a result 🙏🙏Posted on Google Mark ByrneTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Highly recommended! I'm already lining up future projects for the team.Posted on Google Celine SchroederTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The team @ Alta was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and thorough. Everything was completed on time and 100% perfect. Am grateful for true professionals!
