Sump Pump Services We Provide
Comprehensive sump pump repair and installation solutions for Arlington Heights homes and properties.
Sump Pump Diagnosis & Repair
We pinpoint the exact cause of failure — motor burnout, clogged intake screens, stuck floats, or wiring faults — and complete lasting repairs on the spot.
Sump Pump Replacement
When repair isn't cost-effective, we install a new, right-sized sump pump — submersible or pedestal — with a full manufacturer warranty and proper discharge routing.
Battery Backup Systems
Power outages and storms often strike simultaneously. We install battery backup sump pumps that keep your basement dry even when the power goes out.
Float Switch & Check Valve Service
A faulty float switch causes constant cycling; a failed check valve lets water flow back into the pit. We replace both quickly to restore normal pump operation.
Discharge Line Repair & Rerouting
Cracked or improperly pitched discharge lines send water right back toward your foundation. We repair, extend, or reroute discharge pipes for effective water removal.
Insurance Claim Coordination
Basement flooding often triggers a homeowner's insurance claim. Alta bills your insurer directly and handles the documentation, so you can focus on getting back to normal.

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!
Sump Pump FAQs
Common questions from Arlington Heights homeowners about sump pump repair, replacement, and maintenance.
If your pump is less than 7–10 years old and exhibiting a specific issue — a worn float switch, a clogged screen, or a tripped circuit — repair is usually the right call. If it's older, runs constantly, makes grinding or rattling noises, or has rusted components, replacement is typically more cost-effective. Our technicians will give you an honest assessment and walk you through both options with transparent pricing before any work begins.
Yes. Alta Property Services operates 24/7 for emergency plumbing and sump pump calls throughout Arlington Heights and Cook County. Call (630) 461-9229 any time and we'll dispatch a certified technician as quickly as possible — including nights, weekends, and holidays.
Standard homeowner's insurance policies typically don't cover flooding caused by ground water, but many policies include water backup or sump pump failure endorsements. If you have that rider, Alta can coordinate directly with your insurer. We document the damage, prepare the necessary reports, and bill your insurance carrier — reducing the burden on you during a stressful event. Visit our insurance claim support page to learn more.
This usually points to one of three problems: a failed check valve allowing water to cycle back into the pit, a stuck or misaligned float switch triggering the pump continuously, or an undersized pump that can't keep up with inflow. In some cases, a discharge line blockage or a high water table during heavy rain is the culprit. Our technicians test all components and resolve the root cause — not just the symptom.
We strongly recommend battery backup systems for any home in the Chicagoland area, especially those with finished basements or valuable stored items. During heavy storms — when basement flooding risk is highest — power outages are common. A battery backup activates automatically when your primary pump loses power, providing a critical second layer of protection. Alta installs and services several reliable backup pump models; ask about options when you call.
Repair costs vary based on the part that's failing and the pump model. Minor repairs like float switch or check valve replacement are typically far less expensive than a full pump replacement. Alta provides free, written estimates before any work begins so there are no surprises. Request your free estimate online or call (630) 461-9229 for an immediate assessment.
