Alta Property Services provides same-day sump pump repair, battery backup installation, and complete drainage assessments for Glenview, IL properties. Our licensed technicians diagnose the root cause — not just the symptom — so you're protected long-term.

What We Do

Comprehensive Sump Pump & Drainage Services

From emergency repairs to full system upgrades — we cover every aspect of basement water management for Glenview homeowners.

Emergency Sump Pump Repair

When your pump fails unexpectedly, our technicians are on call around the clock. We respond fast to Glenview homes to diagnose and restore pump function before excess water accumulates in your basement.

Sump Pump Installation & Replacement

We size and install the right pump for your basement's specific groundwater conditions. Older or undersized units are replaced with properly rated systems matched to your home's drainage volume.

Battery Backup Sump Systems

Power outages often coincide with the heaviest rain events. A battery backup system keeps your pump running when the grid goes down — a critical layer of protection for finished Glenview basements.

Drainage Management & Assessment

We evaluate your full drainage setup — sump pit, discharge lines, grading, and check valves — to identify any gaps in your water intrusion prevention system and recommend targeted solutions.

Float Switch & Check Valve Repair

Faulty float switches and check valves are leading causes of pump failure. We test, adjust, and replace these components as part of every service call to ensure reliable automatic operation.

Annual Maintenance & Tune-Up

Regular maintenance before Illinois's heavy-rain season is the most cost-effective way to prevent failures. We test your entire system and clean the sump pit to keep it operating at peak capacity.

Sump Pump Stopped Working? We Respond Fast.

A failed sump pump during heavy precipitation or rapid snowmelt is an urgent situation. Excess water accumulation in your basement can begin within hours, affecting structural materials, insulation, and finished living spaces.

Alta dispatches emergency-certified technicians across Glenview and the surrounding North Shore communities with full diagnostic equipment on board — so we fix the problem on the first visit, not the second.

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

Sump Pump FAQ — Glenview, IL Homeowners

Answers to the questions we hear most from Glenview and North Shore property owners.

Common signs your sump pump needs attention include: the motor runs but no water is being discharged, the pump runs constantly even in dry weather, the unit is making unusual grinding or rattling noises, the float switch doesn't activate when the pit fills, or the pump is more than 7–10 years old. An Alta technician can assess whether repair or full replacement is the more cost-effective solution for your specific unit.
Alta Property Services operates 24/7 emergency dispatch. For urgent calls — where active water accumulation is occurring in your basement — we prioritize same-day response and aim to have a technician on site within hours. Our service vehicles carry common pump components and replacement units, allowing us to complete most repairs in a single visit.
Standard homeowners insurance in Illinois generally does not cover sump pump failure or resulting interior property issues, though many policies offer an optional "water backup" or "sump pump failure" rider. If you have this endorsement, Alta can assist with documentation and insurance coordination. We provide detailed inspection reports, photographs, and scope-of-work estimates to support your claim process.
For Glenview homeowners with finished basements or high groundwater tables, a battery backup system is strongly recommended. Power outages frequently coincide with the heavy precipitation events that put the most demand on your sump pump. A battery backup unit activates automatically when the primary pump fails or when electrical power is lost, providing continuous protection. Alta installs and maintains several backup system options to fit different budgets and basement sizes.
We recommend an annual maintenance check, ideally before Illinois's spring rainy season (March–May). During a maintenance visit, Alta technicians test the float switch and check valve, clean the sump pit of debris, inspect the discharge line for blockages or freezing risk, and verify that electrical connections are secure. Catching minor issues before heavy rainfall season is far less costly than an emergency repair call.
We serve Glenview and the surrounding North Shore and northwest suburban communities including Northbrook, Des Plaines, Mount Prospect, Wheeling, Skokie, Evanston, Arlington Heights, Palatine, Hoffman Estates, and Schaumburg. Alta also operates throughout DuPage, Will, Lake, McHenry, Kane, and Kendall counties. Call (630) 461-9229 to confirm service availability at your address.
