Keep the basement dry and the house tight in Willow Springs, with pumps, trim and fixtures repaired and every item priced in writing first.
We handle the repairs a house collects over time, from a weeping shutoff valve to a stair tread that moves underfoot to a sump pump that has started cycling every few minutes. Each item goes on the estimate with its own price so you decide what gets done. If you text photos, a short list can often be priced from them. Bigger lists get a visit and an itemized estimate on paper. If a repair uncovers a problem behind it, we price that too and do not start it until you approve.
Willow Springs is on our regular route, off I-294 and along Archer Avenue and Willow Springs Road. The village sits in Cook County in the Des Plaines River valley, with forest preserves along the river and plenty of homes on sloped or wooded lots. On a slope, water heads for the low side of the foundation, which makes the sump pump one of the hardest-working things in the house. We test the pump, the float and the check valve, and we put in a battery backup so a storm that knocks out the power does not also flood the basement.
A failing or noisy pump is replaced, and the discharge and check valve are checked so water leaves the pit and stays out.
We install a battery backup pump in the pit so the basement stays protected through an outage.
Basement bathrooms and laundry that drain to an ejector pit get the pump repaired or replaced and the lid resealed.
Low trim and siding that stays wet on a sloped lot is checked for rot, replaced where it is soft and sealed.
Loose or cracked treads, inside or out, are refastened or replaced so they stop moving.
Dripping faucets and seized or weeping shutoff valves are repaired or replaced.
We look at your photos or come out, then write an estimate that lists every repair and its price. You approve it before any work is booked. If the crew finds something new, like a cracked sump basin under the old pump, we price it in writing and wait for your call. Repairs get scheduled on a day that works for you, same-day when the schedule allows for a failed pump, and we walk each item with you at the end.
Send a photo of the pump and pit along with the rest of your list, and we will tell you what we see.
