What Rockford, IL Customers Say
“Our sump pump stopped during a heavy downpour and water started pooling near the foundation on the east side of the house. The tech replaced the failed unit with a new Zoeller model and cleared the clogged discharge pipe that ran out toward the alley. Basement stayed completely dry through the next two storms.”
“The float switch on our old pump kept sticking, so it ran constantly and the motor burned out. They installed a new vertical float switch and added a battery backup unit that kicks in if power goes out. We have not had any issues since, even after the big rain last month.”
“Water was seeping in around the sump pit during snow melt because the check valve had failed. They swapped the valve, cleaned the pit, and re-routed the outlet line farther from the house foundation. No more moisture on the floor since the repair.”
