Highly recommend to anyone needing reliable plumbing services!"
"Bob Warren was simply terrific, i had a great experience consulting on my crawl space. Really, Ive never had a crawl space and while having one in my first home i did not know what to look for that was in need of repair. Bob did a thorough job looking over it for me and very honestly delivered me feedback. Turns out i am not in a dire need of repairs but when i do, i know who to turn to.
Thank you Bob, and GroundWorks for the professionalism"
"Excellent Service from planning through Execution and installation to final fine tuning. The folks communicated well and explained every detail of the step. Got permit and inspection done. It was seamless. Thanks. R."
"Installation went smoothly. I've had the system for about 5 years and I recommend it highly. The water tastes great. We don't buy water anymore. Our pipes are protected from mineral buildup. Very pleased with our purchase."
"Noel showed up on a Saturday and unclogged our kitchen sink in an hour. We had tried everything we knew to do and even took all the pipes apart under the sink to try and find the problem. When we couldn't find the clog we decided to look for a professional to help out and we called Noel. He and his employee were awesome. They replaced all of our old pipes and snaked the lines to the outside And all for under $300. We will definitely use him again and are planning to use him to power was all of our pipes soon."
"The plumbers were very knowledgeable and quickly figured out the problem with the faucet installation and how to fix it. They also spotted that the “new” faucet contained parts that had been used before, and we got the store to provide new replacements for them."
"Almost immediate scheduling (next day) and professional and courteous installation. My only disappointment was that the technician who arrived did not know I had purchased the Angie's List voucher which resulted in some confusion re: payment. However, Top Service Plumbing acted professionally to rectify it. What I appreciated was that Top Service Plumbing answered my calls each time I contacted them, even on a Friday evening and weekend."
"I bought the big deal for three men for two hours for $149 - a steal in any situation. Alex then charged $80 for use of the truck. Despite horrendous traffic, the three personable young men efficiently cleared out a storage unit, loaded the truck and off-loaded everything in good shape and accessible. They followed my directions, made suggestions of their own and everything worked out well for all. "
"One of my toilets backed up which also caused the shower to back up. I had 2 different plumbers over to try and snake it, but in both cases, it did nothing. I was told that the clog was most likely further out towards the street. I called Bob & Marc and they asked about a mainline cheanout. My house is over 50 years old so it didn't have one. Initially the estimate was about $1200 to get the mainline cleanout installed, but I was told after they put the camera through that it would have to be quite a bit more because my pipes were 6ft down from the house where they could get the cleanout installed. I accepted, they removed parts of my deck, dug down 6 ft, installed the cleanout, jetted out the pipe and ran a camera through to make sure everything was clear. After they were finished, they put the deck back together--not beautifully, but then again, they are plumbers so I wasn't expecting much. There was a bit of mishap when they were fixing a water pipe under the house for me (which I asked about and they threw in for free) which was leaking. Unfortunately, while they were adjusting it, that caused water from a pipe in one of my bathrooms to start spewing water uncontrollably. As a result, my hardwood was damaged. I'm not sure why the water was never turned off before performing their fix, although I never asked. "

If your insurer offers this type of coverage, they may require proof that your sump pump is regularly maintained.

No. Sump pumps have different capacities, which refers to the volume of water that they can remove. They also come in various horsepower ratings, which measure the size of the pump’s motor. For many homes, 1/3 horsepower is enough. But if you live in an area that floods often, you might need a more powerful model.
Repairs typically take 1-2 hours, while replacements, depending on accessibility, may require up to 4 hours.
