You can get scads of people who'll come and stick one in. That's not a problem
It also might not be THE problem you need to fix. You'd be better off with someone who can
assess your unique situation, understands the things that have been done to old systems and understands what's going on
under the streets of Berwyn, before installing something designed to alleviate the problem. It might be a sump pump. Might be check valves, might be plugs, might be standpipes... might be a combo of solutions...

Yep, Tim installed a new sump at my home as well back in April/May area.  Works great.  Now if the city sewers would just quit backing up into my basement!
