"It was my best experience ever for plumbing needs - Jim Stewart is professional, very intelligent/ competent/knowledgable, trustworthy as well as very kind and communicative! He filed everything necessary with the gas company electronically to get rebate and sent his invoice electronically as well...much appreciated! This plumber and his company are exceptional and I have already lined up more needed projects."

"Dennis and his team said our pipes appeared to be in good shape and suggested a good cleaning first to see if that would fix our draining problems. They were right and they saved us a lot of $$ and our drain is working fantastic now. I would highly recommend D & G Plumbing for their integrity and quality service! I will absolutely be calling them again for all of my future plumbing needs."

I couldn't be more pleased with the work that Cahaba Plumbing did for me. Jan (owner) stopped a couple days prior to the date when the work was to be performed in order to see where I (and wife) wanted the laundry tub to go and what it entailed.  After closely looking at the location (in the mud room, opposite of the half bath in the man cave), he strongly recommended an alternative location in the garage, close to the main sewer line and easier access to the water lines (not too mention the fact that none of the dry-wall would have to be cut into).  On the day of the install, Jan sent one of his men over to do the work, and as I expected he (I believe his name was Greg) was very professional and went right to work. Even though he didn't have to, Greg secured my cheap laundry tub (bought one that had all the connections) to the garage wall and to the concrete floor. He did have to go out over lunch to get a couple of connectors/parts that he didn't have with him, but I wasn't in a hurry and in the end the laundry tub install was properly and efficiently.  I will definitely hire Cahaba Plumbing again without thinking twice.

Sump Pump Installation questions, answered by experts

A sump pump's lifespan is typically 7 to 10 years, though the general range can be anywhere from 5 to 15 years. The specific type of pump is a major factor: pedestal sump pumps last an average of 20 to 25 years, whereas submersible sump pumps last between 5 and 15 years. While pedestal pumps are less expensive to service, they are also louder and more prone to clogging.

Several other factors influence longevity, including the pump's quality, usage frequency, and maintenance schedule. A high-quality pump that is well-maintained in a dry climate may last for two decades, while a lower-quality, poorly maintained pump in an area with a high water table or frequent flooding may fail in six years or less.

Regular maintenance, including annual inspections and tuneups from a professional, can significantly extend the pump's life. It is time to consider a replacement if your sump pump runs constantly, cycles frequently, shows visible rust or corrosion, or trips a circuit breaker. As a preventative measure, many homeowners replace their pumps every eight years. It's also worth noting that a manufacturer's warranty can indicate expected lifespan, and some home insurance policies may not cover water damage from a pump that is past its recommended replacement date.

Costs depend on pump type, labor rates, and the extent of repairs or installation needs.

To maintain your sump pump, start by checking it every three to four months to ensure it’s in working order. Clear any debris from the pit because blockages can prevent the pump from operating efficiently. You should also test the pump by pouring a bucket of water into the pit. If it turns on automatically and drains the water, it’s functioning correctly. Inspect the discharge line for clogs, and ensure it directs water away from your home. Once a year, clean the pump itself, and consider having it professionally serviced for optimal performance.

A sump pump can be plugged into a regular, 110-volt outlet with three-prong openings, but it must have GFCI protections per the NEC, meaning you’ll need a GFCI outlet and circuit. Sump pumps require two outlet openings, one for the plug to the motor and one for the float switch.

Yes, a well-maintained sump pump can increase a home's value and make it more desirable to potential buyers; it does not lower property value. By protecting the basement from flooding and water damage, a sump pump provides peace of mind and can make the space usable for storage or as an extra room. For buyers interested in homes with basements, a working sump pump is a significant feature that adds value by ensuring the space is secure and less likely to flood.
