Did you know that Vanguard is a certified installer of ION Technologies products? They make some of the world’s finest sump pumps, ejector pumps and battery backup systems so it’s obvious this is a specialty of the team from Vanguard. However, not everyone is familiar with what these systems do or how ejector pumps, sump pumps and battery backup systems can benefit their own Chicago homes. That’s what this article is all about – the definitions of these systems and their benefits.

First off, you can always call Vanguard Plumbing & Sewer instead of reading this page. Our licensed, insured and highly experienced plumbing professionals would love nothing more than to explain how ION Technologies products or the system you chose will impact your home, residential or multiunit property on Chicago’s West, North, Far North and Northwest Sides. Now, let’s look at what these systems are and what they can do for you.

How It Works & Why You Need It: Ejector Pumps

In Chicago, many residential properties were built with basements – whether they’re single-family homes or multiunit properties like three-flats. When these rooms lie below the piping system it pays to have an ejector pump installed. These pumps exist to move wastewater to a septic or sewer system which is why it is installed with a cover and an exhaust pipe. These cover and move any gases from the system outside your home. If you have a bathroom or laundry room in your basement you’ll want an estimate for ejector pump installation from Vanguard.

How It Works & Why You Need It: Sump Pumps

Where an ejector pump is installed when you have a wet room below the home’s normal piping system, a sump pump is built and installed – preferably by the five-star rated plumbers from Vanguard – to protect your home from flooding and grey water. A sump pump is installed in the floor and moves water from the basement outside the home – usually to a French drain or bubbler system installed for just this purpose. If flooding is a possibility at your West Side, North Side, Far North Side or Northwest Side home then call Vanguard at (773) 633-6139 for a sump pump installation estimate.

How It Works & Why You Need It: Battery Backups

If you think of the name – battery backup – then it becomes clear what this product does for your ejector and/or sump pump installations. Both of these systems run on power and what happens during flooding events – power loss – and that’s where the battery backup system kicks in. When the normal power goes out your sump and ejector pumps will continue operation thanks to the battery backup installed by the unbeatable plumbers at Vanguard – satisfaction guaranteed!
