"It went well. The plumber was on time, kept his word, had to come back - showed up as promised; not inexpensive but we were expecting it to be more based on an earlier assessment by a different plumber."

"I had concerns about some ducting issues I was having so I called Carini out for a quote on new duct work. I was fully expecting to pay several thousand dollars, but I was told it wasn't necessary, and was instead given a couple of small tips that completely resolved the problems I was having. I'm incredibly impressed with the honesty and professionalism it took to turn down the unnecessary work I was ready to pay for. They've made a customer for life."

Hydro jet uses water at 4,000psi to clean the inside of the mainline drain which connects all the home's drains to the city's sewer system.
Using a snake we can go through the cleanouts on the side of the house.
With the cleanouts snaked, and the blockage located, we can send the hydro jet through the sewer vent and flush out the blocked drain.

"They said that they would be at my place between 8-10am. They showed up at exactly 8am!! The technician answered all my questions, he kept me informed as to what he was doing. We chit chated, he was very respectful to a senior citizen (me!!). I plan to hire Plumbing Pus every time I need the plumbing worked on and I would recommend them in a heart beat. Wonderful customer service!!!!!!"

"Had a slow drain for months and thought it was a clogged drain. I knew Mickey through an apprenticeship program and called him to take a look. Mickey was extremely thorough and found the issue quicker than most plumbers! While it turned out to be a failed sump pump and a much bigger job, Mickey got it done quickly and at a reasonable rate."

"He gave me a list of all the problems, showed them to me, and gave me a cost for each item.  His company charges by the job, not by the hour.  I had him replace a corroded valve underneath the sink.  He is very good, but it was too expensive for that one job."

Sump Pump Installation questions, answered by experts

The difference between an ejector pump and a sump pump lies in their purpose and design—an ejector pump functions to remove liquid gray water and soft solid sewage waste from your home. If you have a laundry room or bathroom in your basement, an ejector pump for your sewage tank prevents sewage from backing up in your washing machine or bathroom’s drains.

A sump pump is designed to remove excess groundwater that may enter your home, either due to flooding or periods of heavy rain.

Grinder pumps alone cost $300 on average. The average cost to install a new grinder pump is between $2,000 and $4,000, including the pump and labor. This price can also change based on the exact type of grinder pump you choose, labor costs in your area, and the power system your home currently has.

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.

Every three to four months, you should clean any dirt and debris off of your sump pump. You should also check the inlet screen (at the bottom of the pump) to make sure that it isn’t blocked. On top of that, you should deep clean your sump pump once per year—or hire a sump pump pro to do it for you.

A small sump pump running infrequently uses an average of 10 kilowatt-hours (kWh) of electricity per month. The average cost for electricity is $0.171 per kWh. The size and use frequency affect how much electricity it uses. Sump pumps average one-third to one horsepower (hp) motors. One hp is equal to 745.7 watts. Watts multiplied by the time your pump is running divided by 1,000 equals your average kWh. Multiply kWh by your average cost of electricity. In areas with high rain or a marsh basin, the average cost can be as high as $15-$25 a month.
