A sump pump is the heart of your home's waterproofing system. It sits in the sump pit where the weeping tile deposits collected groundwater. When the water level rises, it activates a float switch, turns the pump on, and forcefully ejects the water through a discharge pipe to a safe distance away from your home.
Comprehensive Sump Pump Services: At Principle Plumbing, we provide complete sump pump solutions to protect your basement from flooding and water damage.
Installation & Replacement: Whether you need a new system or an upgrade, we install high-quality, reliable pumps tailored to your home's specific water table and drainage needs.
We Install the Best: The Zoeller M53 Mighty-Mate Your peace of mind depends on reliability. That's why we recommend and install the Zoeller M53 Mighty-Mate Sump Pump—an industry workhorse known for its durable cast-iron construction, non-clogging vortex impeller, and reliable float-activated switch.
Our Sump Pump Services Include: When you choose Principle Plumbing, you get:
Expert Repair Services: We diagnose and fix all common issues, including pumps that won't turn on, won't shut off, have a stuck float switch, or are making grinding noises.
Battery Backup Installation: Illinois storms often cause power outages. A battery backup system is essential insurance, automatically taking over when the power goes out.
Zoeller Basement Sentry Backup: This secondary pump automatically activates if your home loses power, your primary pump fails, or water enters too quickly.

Sump Pump Installation & Repair
A sump pump is the heart of your home's waterproofing system. It sits in the sump pit where the weeping tile deposits collected groundwater, protecting your basement from flooding.
At Principle Plumbing, we install high-quality, reliable pumps tailored to your home's specific water table and drainage needs.
OUR SUMP PUMP SERVICES:
- Installation & Replacement: Whether you need a new system or an upgrade, we install the best equipment including the Zoeller M53 Mighty-Mate, known for its durable cast-iron construction and reliable performance.
- Sump Pump Repair: We diagnose and fix all common issues, including pumps that won't turn on, won't shut off, have a stuck float switch, or are making grinding noises.
- Battery Backup Installation: Illinois storms often cause power outages. The Zoeller Basement Sentry Battery Backup System automatically takes over when the power goes out, ensuring continuous protection.
- Annual Maintenance: We offer yearly check-ups to clean debris from the pit, test the float switch and check valve, and ensure your system is ready for the wet season.
We recommend having your sump pump professionally inspected at least once a year, ideally in early spring before heavy rain season begins.
Sewage Ejector Pump Services
If you have a bathroom, laundry room, or wet bar in your basement, you need an ejector pump. Because basement plumbing is below the main sewer line, an ejector pump actively pumps wastewater up for proper disposal.
A failure here can lead to a messy and hazardous sewage backup. That's why we provide expert installation, repair, and maintenance services.
OUR EJECTOR PUMP SERVICES:
- Installation & Replacement: We correctly size and install powerful, reliable ejector pumps and sealed basins to handle your basement's wastewater needs.
- Expert Repair Services: We solve common problems like clogging, alarm failures, or pumps that are running continuously or won't activate.
- Grinder Pump Upgrades: For ultimate reliability, we recommend the Liberty Pumps ProVore 380. Its V-Slice® cutter technology shreds difficult waste like sanitary products and wipes that would jam a standard ejector pump.
- Alarm System Installation: An alarm provides early warning of a malfunction before a backup occurs, giving you time to take action and prevent messy sewage backups.
With Principle Plumbing, you get licensed plumbers who understand ejector pump systems and provide upfront, honest pricing.

Why Your Home Needs a Quality Sump Pump System
For homeowners in DuPage County and the Chicagoland Area, a dry and usable basement is invaluable. Our local weather, from heavy spring rains to rapid snowmelt, puts every foundation at risk of water intrusion. A professionally installed and maintained sump pump is your home's most crucial defense.
Understanding Your Home's Water Risk
Many homeowners wonder why their basement is prone to dampness or flooding. The answer lies in the ground around your home and how your house was designed to manage water.
Hydrostatic Pressure: The Invisible Threat: After a heavy rain or snowmelt, the soil around your foundation becomes saturated. In our region, this is often dense, clay-based soil that doesn't drain quickly. This saturation creates immense pressure, known as hydrostatic pressure, that constantly pushes water against your foundation walls and floor.
The Foundation's Drainage System: Your home has a hidden defense system: the weeping tile or foundation drain. This porous pipe installed around the base of your foundation collects excess groundwater and channels it to a central point—the sump pit. The weeping tile is the moat; the sump pump is the guard that ejects the water from that moat.
Common Issues That Worsen the Problem: Improper grading, clogged gutters and downspouts, and window well leaks can all overwhelm your drainage system, making a reliable sump pump absolutely essential.
At Principle Plumbing, we don't just see the pump; we understand how your home's grading, gutters, and foundation drainage system all work together. Trust us for complete basement protection.
