"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"

"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."

"My plumber?s name is Robert. He didn?t just do a good job but an excellent job. Why I said this. It?s already hard waking up in the morning. When all of a sudden you don?t have hot water. Called them and within the time frame he gave over the phone he was there on the dot. Gave me a reasonable price and replace my water heater. Excellent job."

"Countless mistakes were made in most of the plumbing work done.  I was my own general contractor, and I had to be on top of all the work that was done - particularly the plumbing work, where most of the mistakes were made.  For example:
- the gas line for our fireplace was originally run straight up through our living room floor next to the wall (not in the wall) -- simply ridiculous.
- the drain line under our shower was missing a P-trap
- when the old asbestos covered ducts were removed, lots of asbestos scraps were left lying in the crawl space that I had to clean up
- after the plumbing had been in, we had severe knocking/water hammer (required replacing the pressure regulator)
- after the rough plumbing was installed, the plumber left with the water pressure on - we arrived one hour later to find water spraying all over the unfinished bathroom from a pinhole leak in the joint next to the shower valve.  I had to immediately shut off all water -- they came back and fixed the solder joint where I pointed out the leak -- (but claimed they could not reproduce the leak).  Then, once all of the bathroom/shower was finished - the shower valve dripped when off (likely because the fix to the leak resulted in over-heating and warping the valve) -- they did not take any responsibility and blamed the valve manufacturer (Moen).  And since I bought the valve - they claimed no responsibility.  (Shower still drips today when in the off position).
- the plumber was rude to my wife in front of our inspector
- the plumber was clearly over-worked having to do over-time for a commercial job as well -- so our work was rushed, and as a result there were many mistakes that I had to find (they did fix the issues, one-by-one - I give them credit for that - but overall, the work was sloppy). 
I can understand a few mistakes, but this was simply too many.  In our experience, a more appropriate name for this business would be:  "In and Out and Back Again."  This may have come down to one individual's work -- but unfortunately, it has left a bad impression for the whole company.

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.

A sump pump's lifespan is typically 7 to 10 years, though the general range can be anywhere from 5 to 15 years. The specific type of pump is a major factor: pedestal sump pumps last an average of 20 to 25 years, whereas submersible sump pumps last between 5 and 15 years. While pedestal pumps are less expensive to service, they are also louder and more prone to clogging.

Several other factors influence longevity, including the pump's quality, usage frequency, and maintenance schedule. A high-quality pump that is well-maintained in a dry climate may last for two decades, while a lower-quality, poorly maintained pump in an area with a high water table or frequent flooding may fail in six years or less.

Regular maintenance, including annual inspections and tuneups from a professional, can significantly extend the pump's life. It is time to consider a replacement if your sump pump runs constantly, cycles frequently, shows visible rust or corrosion, or trips a circuit breaker. As a preventative measure, many homeowners replace their pumps every eight years. It's also worth noting that a manufacturer's warranty can indicate expected lifespan, and some home insurance policies may not cover water damage from a pump that is past its recommended replacement date.

Yes, it’s possible to install a sewage ejector pump outside rather than in a basement. However, there may be some extra steps involved, including running pipes from the inside to the outside of your home and digging (and re-filling) a hole for the basin. If you aren’t comfortable with this type of work, contact a plumbing pro to handle it for you.

There are several things you can do to maintain your sump pump and prevent sump pump problems. For instance, keeping a lid on your sump pit goes a long way in protecting your pump system from silt, sand, dirt, and other debris. When water drains from the outside, such as along your foundation, or with melting snow, water runoff often brings sediment with it. 

Also be wary of corrosion, particularly if your sump pump system is made of metal. Keep an eye out for rust and have it inspected regularly by a plumber or sump pump technician.

A sump pump can be plugged into a regular, 110-volt outlet with three-prong openings, but it must have GFCI protections per the NEC, meaning you’ll need a GFCI outlet and circuit. Sump pumps require two outlet openings, one for the plug to the motor and one for the float switch.
