"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.)"

Sump Pump Installation questions, answered by experts
Yes, it’s normal (and beneficial) to have a small amount of water in the bottom of your sump pit. It shows that your system is collecting groundwater, rain, and excess water from around your property—just like it’s supposed to. However, if the sump pit is always full, you might have a leak or a faulty sump pump.
A sewage ejector pump is necessary if you have any plumbing fixtures, such as a bathroom, laundry room, or sink, located below the level of your home's main sewer line. Standard plumbing relies on gravity to drain wastewater and solid waste into the municipal sewer system or a septic tank. For fixtures below this level, like those in a basement, gravity cannot move the waste upward. The ejector pump provides the force needed to pump the sewage up to the main line. Without one, wastewater from below-ground fixtures would back up, potentially causing a sewage overflow and flooding. If all of your plumbing is on the main floor or higher, gravity is sufficient and an ejector pump is not needed.
Inspect the pump annually, test the float switch, and clean the discharge line to ensure efficient operation.
Submersible and pedestal sump pumps are two popular types of sump pumps. Submersible models are covered by water in a sump pit, which helps keep the motor cooler and quieter. Pedestal sump pumps stick out of the sump pit, so the motor stays dry and is easier to access. Submersible sump pumps are the pricier option, but they also have longer life spans.
If you have a self-cleaning washing machine but you’re still seeing lint, your water pump filter might be clogged. To clean it, you should unscrew the drain hose, then remove the water pump filter. From there, you can inspect it and clean it with warm water before replacing it. Check to be sure your washing machine is functioning by running a short cycle.
