"Went well. Poor communication regarding after install. Apparently I need to have testing done by another agency and also the city needs me to schedule a full day for them to come inspect and close permit. I was not made aware of either of these in advance. Otherwise service was prompt, professional and just as we needed."

"Great! We had a one hour virtual appointment to diagnose the problem with our dryer, James emailed us the part number to allow us to shop around and get it at a good price, and walked us through how we would install it once it arrives. He was knowledgeable, kind and very helpful."

"I hired this engineering company to rehab my septic system..every aspect of it was outdated and losing functionality. Many, the owner was very helpful and saved me considerable costs by carefully explaining the overall process and how I could do some of the work myself or hire the work out to locals for minimum wage. I would strongly recommend hiring Mauney and his company for all the technical work. He also arranged for the septic tank to be pumped out for the lowest price in Butte County. Grant did the work and he was also very friendly and knowledgeable."

Sump Pump Installation questions, answered by experts

3/4 HP is stronger than 1/2 HP. Horsepower measures how much weight can be moved and how fast, or the power needed to move 550 pounds one foot in one second. 1 HP equals 550 foot-pounds per second, so the higher the horsepower, the heavier the load it can lift. While 1/2 HP is a standard, powerful option, 3/4 HP has the extra strength to handle heavier, larger doors with ease.

Most sump pumps come with power cords that can be plugged into an outlet, but there are options that can be hardwired into a home’s electrical system. Either way, it’s smart to have a backup power supply in case the electricity goes out during a storm. That way, the sump pump can keep running and removing water from the sump pit.

One common reason a sump pump stops working is improper sizing. Different locations need different sizes and power ratings of sump pumps depending on the typical amount of water the pump needs to manage. If your sump pump is too small for the quantity of water, it can overwork and either burn out or reduce the life of the unit. If the pump is too big, it can overwork and burn out early. 

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.

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.
