What We Do

Complete Sump & Drainage Solutions

From emergency pump failures to full sump system installations, Alta handles every aspect of your basement drainage and water intrusion prevention needs.

Emergency Sump Pump Repair

Around-the-clock emergency response for failed sump pumps. We diagnose the root cause — motor failure, switch issues, clogged intake — and restore your system fast to prevent basement water accumulation.

Sump Pump Installation

New sump pump installations for homes without existing systems. We size the pump correctly for your basement's square footage, soil conditions, and typical groundwater levels in the Skokie area.

Battery Backup Systems

Power outages happen precisely when you need your pump most. We install battery backup sump systems that activate automatically when the primary pump loses power, providing continuous protection.

Sump Pump Replacement

Aging pumps lose efficiency and reliability. Our technicians assess your current system and recommend the right replacement — submersible or pedestal — matched to your property's specific drainage demands.

Drainage Management & Pit Cleaning

Clogged sump pits reduce pump efficiency significantly. We clean and inspect the sump pit, discharge line, and check valve to ensure unobstructed drainage and optimal system performance.

Annual Maintenance & Inspection

Preventive maintenance extends pump life and catches problems before they become emergencies. We test float switches, check discharge lines, and verify backup systems are fully operational.

FAQ

Sump Pump Questions, Answered

Common questions from Skokie homeowners about sump pump repair, installation, and maintenance.

Common signs include the pump running continuously without shutting off, strange grinding or rattling noises, visible rust or corrosion on the unit, water accumulation in the pit that isn't being expelled, or a pump that's more than 7–10 years old. Our technicians inspect the full system and give you an honest assessment of whether a repair or full replacement is the better investment.
Alta provides 24/7 emergency service throughout Skokie and Cook County. For urgent situations, call (630) 461-9229 directly and we'll dispatch the nearest available technician. In most cases we can reach Skokie properties within a few hours of your call.
Yes — especially in the Skokie area, where power outages can coincide with periods of heavy precipitation that put the most stress on sump systems. A battery backup activates automatically when your primary pump loses power, providing continued drainage protection. We install and test backup systems as a standalone service or alongside a new primary pump installation.
Repair costs vary based on the specific issue — a float switch replacement, motor repair, and full pump replacement are each priced differently. Alta provides free, no-obligation estimates after diagnosing the problem on-site. You'll receive a clear written cost before any work begins. Request your free estimate here.
The most common causes include a stuck or faulty float switch, a clogged intake screen or discharge line, motor burnout from extended operation, a tripped circuit breaker, or simply age-related wear. Sump pits that haven't been cleaned in several years are also a frequent source of failures, as debris accumulates and restricts pump intake.
Coverage depends on your specific policy — many standard homeowner's policies require a separate sewer and water backup rider to cover interior damage resulting from sump failure. Alta's team can help you document the damage and work with your insurer. Visit our insurance claim support page to learn more about how we assist property owners through the claims process.
