🚨💧 Emergency Ejector Pump Repair in Waukegan, IL!

Our team recently responded to a sewage backup and a failed ejector pump in a Waukegan home. The failed pump had triggered the high-water alarm, so we opened the wall and corrected the incorrectly installed discharge piping to restore proper operation and help prevent further backups.

During the inspection, we also identified a rusted ejector pit lid that should be replaced, along with two aging water heaters showing signs of rust and water damage. Catching these issues early can help homeowners avoid unexpected plumbing emergencies down the road! 🛠️

Headed out to a customer's home in Waukegan, IL for a beeping Watchdog battery backup system — turns out there was no power getting to the house.

🚽 You could say this urinal was having a flush crush... it just couldn't let go. 😄

We recently completed a commercial plumbing repair in Gurnee, IL, after a men's public restroom urinal was continuously running. Our technicians cleared debris from the water line, installed a new Sloan repair kit and vacuum breaker, and got everything working like new again.

A constantly running urinal isn't just annoying—it can waste thousands of gallons of water over time and drive up utility bills. Whether it's a commercial property or your home, addressing plumbing issues early can save money, prevent bigger repairs, and keep everything flowing the way it should. If your plumbing is acting up, give our team a call—we're always ready to help!

A working sump pump can make all the difference during heavy rains and power outages. During our annual inspection, our plumber tested the sump pump, checked the discharge line, inspected the battery backup to ensure it's holding a charge, and looked for signs of wear that could lead to future problems.

When one of our plumbers performs a sump pump inspection, you can expect a thorough evaluation, including:
✔️ Testing the sump pump to ensure it turns on and pumps water properly.
✔️ Inspecting the discharge line for proper drainage and any signs of blockage.
✔️ Checking the battery backup system to verify the battery is holding a charge and will operate if the power goes out.
✔️ Looking for signs of wear, corrosion, or potential issues that could lead to unexpected pump failure.

Regular sump pump inspections help catch small issues before they become expensive water damage repairs. If it's been a year since your last inspection, schedule your annual sump pump maintenance with Wendricks Plumbing Sewer & Electric! 🏡💧

Basement flooding can escalate fast—this homeowner in Zion experienced 4–5 inches of water after heavy rain despite having an existing pump system. Our inspection revealed a tripped GFI, a failed backup battery, and continuous water intrusion, along with a water heater that had been submerged. We’re recommending a new sump pump system with battery backup, equipment elevation, and possibly an additional pit to better handle water volume and help prevent future flooding.
