"Use these folks if you can. I set a meet with Ramiro. He was on time, masked and using good Covid protocol. He checked out an existing well for a pump installation. He did a trial run & was excellent explaining the factors he was considering before recommending I NOT go ahead with the project. Honest enough not to sell you something you won't be happy with & you don't need. That's real service. Thanks Ramiro. Bennett K"

"During the summer, we started a sump pump project but didnâ t complete it as we werenâ t satisfied with the quotes we got. Unfortunately â like many recently in the Bay Areaâ our basement flooded this week due to all the intense rainfall and the sump pump installation became a project to urgently complete. We reached out to a few businesses and Robert was the fastest to get back to us. He arrived the next day, devised a solution no previous contractor had suggested, thoroughly explained the process, and had the installation completed with a team of two that day. Robert even modified his initial plan upon our request to because he â wants to make sure weâ re happy with it in the endâ . Robert very much met that goal. Installing a sump pump might not be a project you expect great customer service with but it is what made Facilities Plumbing & Drain business stand out to us. Everyone involved with the installation was nice, professional, and even enthusiastic. We would hire Robert again given the opportunity and highly recommend anyone looking for excellent service to do the same."

"My wife and I bought a house a couple years ago, and became owners of a radiant heating systems installed more than 20 years ago. Tony and Damian did a great job of understanding how my radiant heating system works, what repairs were needed/what was failing, and where upgrades were needed. They replaced the pump, both expansion tanks, and the neutralizer. Additionally, they noticed the hot water tank was installed incorrectly, and the hot and cold water connections were flipped. It's amazing the system worked, and it's nice to have a system that's correctly installed (even if it's 20 years later!). Additionally, they secured the expansion tanks to the wall (now required by code), replaced the deteriorating copper pipes connected to the neutralizer with plastic (I'm sure this is code now as well), and re-routed the overflow pipes to the outside (rather than the floor!). You can't go wrong with these guys, well done, they're true craftsmen to the trade."

"Fito Plumbers installed a new sewer line at my house. I appreciate good customer service when I see it, especially when it is with a contractor. My experience with Fito Plumbers was a positive one from the very beginning. From the quote, all the way through the final signoff Fito's team was great. Fito was honest and kept in communication with me over the one month period that it took to get the permits. His team showed up when he said they would, they were courteous and they respected my property. They did not kill one plant on my property which is a first. They cleaned up at the end of each day and they restored the pavers to the point where I can not tell where they had to remove them. I also appreciate that Fito's team power washed all the utility paint markings not only on my property but in the street. My street is covered with paint from previous work by others. Overall, Fito Plumbers was competitively priced and went beyond expectations with the installation."

"Several months ago, I noticed that doors in my house were no longer closing and latching. Specifically, my front door no longer locked completely. Once I got it fully locked I could no longer open my front door anymore, so I knew I had foundation issues. I called Bay Area Underpinning to come look at my foundation and do some measurements. We discovered that my front living room was sinking approximately one and a half to 2 inches. The crew, Lance Sladek, Jake Hall, and Eddie Shaw, crawled under my house and dug 30 to 40 foot holes in the ground to install piers that would lift my foundation. These gentlemen worked in very cramped dirty conditions in 90-100° weather. I was extremely happy with their work and their dedication to doing the job correctly. My after the foundation lift, my front door as well as several other doors in my home were able to close and latch again."

Sump Pump Installation questions, answered by experts

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.

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 move wastewater and solid waste to the municipal sewer or septic tank. However, for fixtures located below grade (e.g., in a basement), gravity is not sufficient.

The purpose of a sewage ejector pump is to actively pump this wastewater and solid waste upward into the main sewer line. Without an ejector pump in this situation, wastewater would have no way to exit and would eventually back up, causing a sewage overflow or flooding in your basement. If all of your home's plumbing is on the main floor or higher, gravity can handle the drainage, and an ejector pump is not needed.

DIY is possible for simple repairs. Professional services ensure proper diagnostics and long-term reliability.

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.

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.
