"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"

"The service was prompt and professional, but overall very expensive for what was done. The cost was over $700 for less than 3hrs work from one person, plus the cost of the estimate. They replaced burned out main and backup sump pumps . Through no fault of theirs, the backup was faulty. So, in fact the backup did not get installed. The next day I purchased a new one and called back to ask if they would install the back up and if I had to pay more for them to do it. This would have been less than an hour to do. Even after several calls to them and speaking with several people, they never called me back or answered my question. If I had it to do all over again, I wouldn't pay them until the full service was complete. I felt like once they got my payment, they really couldn't be bothered to call me back. Although the actual workers that came out were great, I won't be using them in the future."

"Had a small sump pump go out in an after market sink that had been installed by the previous tenants. Very competent, returned my call right away, came out with in a couple of hours and fixed the next day after obtaining another pump! Truly a good experience as I had called another plumber that took over a week just to call back"

"Everything looks good after the work was done. I can finally close my bathroom door. I appreciated the fact that the foreman Erick Baez, went over what was done as they were done. I also appreciated that the two installers Manny Erickson and Jesus Villagomez also communicated with me after they were done to reassure that they did a proper job installing the jacks. Very good to know how the process was going. Great job."

"I had had a different plumber come out to repair sump pump and continued to have problems, I decided to hire Darren who was prompt, professional and efficient. He assessed the problem, gave a solution with an estimated cost of repairs. Stepped out to search and purchase parts needed and returned to complete the job all within an extremely reasonable time frame. I loved that he guaranteed his work for a 2 year period an took the time to explain his trouble shooting and repair. I would highly recommend him."

Sump Pump Installation FAQs, answered by experts

In most cases, standard homeowners insurance policies do not cover damage from a sump pump failure or overflow. Coverage for water damage is often limited to sudden, unexpected events like a burst pipe that was not caused by negligence. To be covered for sump pump issues, you will likely need to purchase a specific rider, endorsement, or additional water backup insurance. If your insurer offers this type of coverage, they may require proof that your sump pump is regularly maintained.

If you notice any new sump pump noises, such as persistent clanging or gurgling, then you likely have a sump pump problem on your hands. Foul odors coming from the pump can also indicate problems. Additionally, if your unit turns on but doesn't pump water, you might have to address electrical problems. In any of these cases, it's a good idea to hire a professional to address the issue.

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.

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.

There are a couple of similar alternatives you may consider for a sewage ejector pump, including a grinder pump or a submersible sump pump. Submersible sump pumps protect your home from flooding from outside water, though, rather than handling wastewater from inside. A grinder pump macerates, or shreds, solid waste before pumping it onward to the sewer line.
