Sump Pump Replacement

When repair isn't cost-effective, we replace with a properly sized, high-efficiency unit — pedestal or submersible — including basin cleaning and discharge line inspection.

Backup Pump Installation & Repair

Primary pumps fail when you need them most — during power outages. We install battery-backup and water-powered backup sump systems so you're protected even when the grid goes down.

Ejector Pump Repair

Basement bathrooms depend on ejector pumps. A failed ejector creates a sewage backup emergency. We provide rapid ejector pump repair with full sanitation cleanup protocols.

Discharge Line Repair & Rerouting

A frozen, clogged, or disconnected discharge line is just as dangerous as a dead pump. We clear blockages and reroute lines away from the foundation to prevent recurrence.

Basement Flooding Response & Cleanup

Water already in? Our crews handle pump repair alongside basement flooding repair, extraction, and water damage reconstruction — one contractor, one call.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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 🙏🙏

Common Questions

Emergency Sump Pump Repair — FAQ

Fast answers to the questions homeowners ask most when a sump pump fails.

Response times vary by location and current dispatch volume, but for most DuPage and Cook County addresses we target under two hours. We maintain multiple crews across the Chicago metro available 24/7 — including nights, weekends, and holidays. Call (630) 461-9229 to get an accurate ETA for your address right now.
The most frequent failure points are: (1) a stuck or tangled float switch preventing the pump from activating; (2) a burned-out motor from running continuously during heavy storms; (3) a clogged or frozen discharge line that traps water even when the pump runs; (4) a tripped circuit breaker after a power surge; and (5) a worn check valve that lets discharged water flow back into the pit. Our technicians diagnose the exact cause on-site using a systematic inspection before recommending repair or replacement.
If your pump is under 7 years old and the failure is isolated to a switch or check valve, repair is usually cost-effective. If the motor is burned out, the pump is over 10 years old, or it has flooded your basement multiple times, replacement is the smarter investment. We provide a written estimate for both options and explain the trade-offs clearly — never upselling a replacement when a repair will do the job.
Standard homeowner's insurance typically does not cover the pump itself, but a separate water backup rider (often called "sewer and drain backup" coverage) may cover both the equipment and the resulting water damage. We provide Xactimate-compatible damage documentation that works directly with your adjuster. Read more on our insurance claim support page or ask your technician on-site.
Yes — this is one of Alta's key differentiators. Most plumbing companies fix the pump and leave you to find a separate restoration contractor. We coordinate the full response: pump repair, water extraction, structural drying, drywall repair, and flooring replacement. Learn more about our water damage reconstruction and basement flooding repair services.
(1) Check your circuit breaker — a tripped GFCI or breaker is the easiest fix. Reset it and listen for the pump to start. (2) If water is already present, keep children and pets out of the basement. Do not wade through standing water if electrical outlets or appliances are submerged. (3) If you have a wet/dry shop vac, you can begin manual extraction to reduce damage. (4) Move valuables off the floor if it is safe to do so. (5) Document everything with photos for your insurance claim. Read our full guide: what to do when your sump pump stops working.
