Do I Need a Sump Pump?
If your home has a basement or crawl space, the answer is likely yes. Sump pumps are designed to take excess water surrounding your home’s foundation and pump it away before it can seep into your basement. These systems are crucial for homes in areas like Glenview, Skokie, Round Lake, and Kenosha, where high water tables or heavy rainfall can lead to water accumulation around the foundation.
In conjunction with basement waterproofing, a sump pump serves as a double layer of protection to keep your home dry and healthy. Without it, you risk serious issues like:
- Mold and mildew growth
- Flooded basements are causing structural damage
- Long-term foundation problems
Let Windy City Rooter assess your home and install a reliable sump pump system to protect your basement, giving you peace of mind through every storm.
Signs Your Sump Pump Needs Repair or Maintenance
Just like any mechanical system, sump pumps don’t last forever. Most pumps have a limited lifespan, typically with warranties ranging from 3 years or less. If you notice any of the following issues, these are the signs your sump pump needs repair or maintenance:
- Strange noises coming from the pump (grinding, rattling, or humming)
- Irregular cycling: The pump turns on and off unpredictably
- Failure to activate: The pump doesn’t kick in when water levels rise
- Frequent power loss: Loss of function due to power outages or electrical issues

Ejector Pump Installation & Repair
Ejector pumps are essential in homes with a basement bathroom or laundry room located below the main sewer line. These pumps, also known as sewage ejector pumps, toilet ejector pumps, or effluent pumps, help pump waste from these lower-level rooms up to the main sewer line. This is a great time to inspect things while here, determining the need, if any, for a sewer line repair or replacement.
If you’re experiencing any of the following issues, it might be time for an ejector pump installation or repair:
- Slow or clogged drains in basement bathrooms or laundry rooms
- Sewage backups that cause unpleasant flooding or odors
- Foul odors coming from drains or toilets
At Windy City Rooter, we recommend regular sump pump maintenance to ensure that it functions properly. Signs your ejector pump may need repair include:
- Strange noises when the pump activates
- Backups or drainage problems
- Slow drainage or inconsistent performance
Contact our team for a thorough inspection and prompt, effective ejector pump repair services in areas like Palatine, Mundelein, Skokie, and Grayslake. We’ll help determine the best ejector pump solution for your property.
Booster Pump Installation & Repair
Booster pumps are commonly used to increase water pressure in properties with low pressure or multi-story homes. Also known as water booster pumps, pressure boosting systems, or water pressure pumps, these devices ensure that your water flow is consistent and strong.
If you notice any of the following signs, your booster pump may need repair or replacement:
- Strange noises coming from the pump
- Fluctuating water pressure or inconsistent flow
- Leaks around the booster pump or pipe connections
At Windy City Rooter, we work with various types of booster pumps, including:
- Vertical and horizontal pumps
- Multi-stage pumps for higher pressure
- Split case and submersible pumps for specific applications
Whether you need booster pump installation for a residential property in Lake Villa, Round Lake, or Arlington Heights, or require commercial booster pump services in Kenosha, Waukegan, or Evanston, we provide customized solutions that fit your needs and budget.
