"Our technician, Dameyan Jackson, called the night before the day of service to let me know the time that he would be here to service our system. On Friday, he called to let me know that he was available to come earlier than scheduled, if I would like. He arrived shortly after the phone call, came in and quickly recognized that the pump had failed. He was very knowledgeable and professional. I was very pleased with his service and look forward to him returning to install a new pump."

"First, we had been pretty frustrated over the past few months trying to get this work done: people wouldn't call back or wouldn't show up or wouldn't follow through. So I finally just went on google to see what I could find in Tuscaloosa. That's how I found Halo Construction on Craig's List. I went to their website and sent an email asking if they did small jobs. Within hours I heard back from Kristy who was helpful and pleasant and gave me James' number with instructions to call him and ask for a free estimate. I did, and we set up a time for him to call to come by. I have to say this to be transparent, but this fell through. When I sent an email that evening saying I hadn't heard anything, James called the next morning, apologized profusely (it was real) and offered to come by immediately to do the estimate. He was here within 30 minutes. He not only gave me a good price but did the work the same day. He left twice: once to pick up a ladder, once to run to Lowe's for parts. Wasn't gone long either time and resumed work when he returned. Had one person with him at first; then picked more up when he was out. They weren't needed for this job, but all pitched in: efficient, professional--and I noticed how professionally they interacted with one another. Not only was the work great, but they were very considerate, moving rugs, picking up pieces of insulation, offering to take the ceiling fan boxes to the curb, offering to sweep up when they were done. This was a pretty small job for Halo; they usually do remodeling projects. James said his expertise is in flooring installations. (BTW, he also said he doesn't do electrical/wiring work but could recommend someone.) Bottom line: James and company couldn't have done more to leave a good impression. We're considering some bigger jobs for our house and won't hesitate to call on Halo again. (On another note, it's refreshing to find a Tuscaloosa business that's put itself "out here" to develop a reputation among its current and potential customers.)"

"They have been out for the electrical. They have been out for the pool. They have been out for the sump pump. Its the fee for the service call. We have used them for the last 3 years. If you have an appliance that you think needs replaced they will not replace it they will repair it to death. They are very responsive. Some of the people they send out are great, some are okay."

Sump Pump Installation questions, answered by experts

In most cases, standard homeowners insurance policies do not cover damage from a sump pump failure or overflow. Coverage for water damage is often limited to sudden, unexpected events like a burst pipe that was not caused by negligence. To be covered for sump pump issues, you will likely need to purchase a specific rider, endorsement, or additional water backup insurance. If your insurer offers this type of coverage, they may require proof that your sump pump is regularly maintained.

Thankfully, you do have a few sump pump backup options in case it fails. One option is a battery-powered backup sump pump. Another option is using a portable backup generator as a power supply for your sump pump. Unlike a battery-powered backup which has limited power, a generator can run around the clock for as long as you need it. 

Or you can opt for a water-powered backup pump, which uses your home’s water supply as a source of power. However, this may not be the best option if you find your house frequently has low water pressure.

If your sump pump isn’t engaging, it might be clogged with dirt and debris. Check to see if the fitting lid is loose and has been letting debris in. Next, check the float and make sure it’s not obstructed by rust or gunk, which results from insufficient maintenance. Tangled wires or damaged switching systems can also stop your sump pump from engaging.

Sump pump repairs are typically handled by plumbers or waterproofing specialists who are experienced in handling basement and foundation-related issues. Plumbers can address issues like clogs, electrical problems, and mechanical failures, and waterproofing professionals may be ideal if the sump pump is part of a larger drainage or waterproofing system. 

Some people may also call on a general handyperson for minor sump pump repairs. However, for complex problems, hiring a certified plumber or waterproofing expert ensures the work is done correctly and prevents further issues.

A sump pump should be placed at least three feet deep in a pit. The rim of the sump pump basin should be level with your basement floor. If you find your pit is too deep, you can fill the bottom with gravel until the rim of the sump pump is flush with the floor.
