RC Szabo Plumbing Richton Park IL

We had a brutal basement flooding event in Orland Park with several inches of water and called RC Szabo Plumbing as an emergency. They got to us same day, took control of the situation quickly, and kept everything clear and calm while we were dealing with active flooding. They replaced our primary sump pump with a Zoeller M63 and, just as important, explained how and why the failure happened. In our case, freezing temperatures led to conditions that overworked the system and ultimately burned the old pump out. That explanation mattered because this is our forever home and we had turned the basement into a finished suite with custom updates. I did not want a temporary patch-I wanted to understand the cause and prevent a repeat. Based on their recommendations, we upgraded to a Zoeller AquaNot 508 battery backup system with the Z-Control (WiFi monitoring) and added a second discharge line to protect against a frozen discharge line causing another backup and flood. The solution felt preventative and engineered, not like an upsell. Professionalism was top-notch: clean work, organized setup, and they treated our home with respect. I also chose their flood protection coverage up to $100K because if this ever happens again, I need reimbursement that actually reflects the custom work we have invested in downstairs. After the initial flood, we compared restoration companies and RC Szabo’s referral ended up being the highest quality work we found. It genuinely felt like they were on our side through the whole project, including dealing with the insurance company during the repair process. From emergency response to permanent flood prevention to guidance on the restoration side, this was complete service. If you have sump pump issues or basement flooding, call RC Szabo Plumbing!!!

I can’t say enough good things about this company. From the first call to the final fix, everything was professional, honest, and stress-free. They showed up on time, explained exactly what was going on without talking down to me, and laid out my options clearly instead of pushing the most expensive solution. The work was done efficiently and cleanly, and you can tell they actually care about doing things the right way, not just rushing through a job. Pricing was fair and transparent, which is rare these days, and there were no surprise charges. It’s hard to find tradespeople you genuinely trust, and this is one of them. I’ll absolutely be using them again and recommending them to anyone who needs a reliable plumber.
