"Geremi was very responsive and quick to fix issues. I moved into a house with numerous plumbing issues. Geremi was very quick to diagnose issues and put in place solutions and recognize my need to have issues fixed quickly and was able to prioritize resources to achieve my needs. I would highly recommend Geremi for all plumbing issues. He installed a waterline for my fridge, fixed hot/cold line issues, fixed shower cartridge issues and installed a water pressure regulator and external natural gas line. All were done exceptionally well."

"I was told it would take three days to replace my water pipe from the house to the street. Precise completed the installation in one day. I will definitely use them in the future. I had been without water inside my house and I am thrilled to have it back."

"Ricky from Elite Sewer Solutions was fantastic! He came quickly to give me an estimate to install a 'Moen Flo' water shutoff and a 'Little Firefighter' gas shutoff. His estimate was far better than others I'd gotten! He was able to install both the following day. Plus I didn't need an electrician; Ricky ran an extra long cable (a separate product) under the house to an exterior wall outlet. Neat and tidy work. I'm happy and I'd hire him again."

Sump Pump Installation FAQs, answered by experts

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.

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.

If your water pump fails, the first step is to turn off the power to the pump to prevent any further damage. Check for common issues such as clogs, electrical problems, or mechanical failures. If you cannot identify the problem, contact a professional who specializes in pump repairs. Prompt action can help minimize damage and repair costs.

Yes, it’s normal (and beneficial) to have a small amount of water in the bottom of your sump pit. It shows that your system is collecting groundwater, rain, and excess water from around your property—just like it’s supposed to. However, if the sump pit is always full, you might have a leak or a faulty sump pump.

Most sump pumps come with power cords that can be plugged into an outlet, but there are options that can be hardwired into a home’s electrical system. Either way, it’s smart to have a backup power supply in case the electricity goes out during a storm. That way, the sump pump can keep running and removing water from the sump pit.
