It went very well. They did hit a few pipes. Two were busted, but they got a hold of the plumber to come in and get it fixed. They covered the costs under my warranty and are very easy to work with. Thank you so much for getting this done.

Complete basement systems were fantastic to work with from start to finish. This was not a quick and easy project, it required structural engineering to remedy. They crew worked so fast to get a large amount of work done. They were very courteous and professional every step of the way.

My sump pump went out - my handyman and I diagnosed this basement water issue first. The plumber came out about 2.5 hours after the scheduled time (arrived at 5 PM on a Friday night). Very nice plumber - but tired. Did a quick fix on the pump that was to get me out a few days/weeks, until...

If this company truly believed in its 100% customer satisfaction policy, it would have received a higher grade from me. They are courteous and punctual and appear to be professional. But they are terribly expensive and unyielding. In my opinion $749 (which was a discount price, by the way!)...

It’s possible to fix a broken well pump yourself, but we don’t recommend it. Well pumps are hard to reach and service without the proper equipment, and even if you can reach the pump, it involves working in close proximity to water and electricity, which can be extremely dangerous. Any mistakes made during the repair process could contaminate your water supply or put you and your home at risk. Additionally, some states require that a licensed plumber carry out well pump repair. It’s worth it to hire a professional water pump repair service.

The average cost to repair a well pump is $950, with most well pump repairs ranging between $100 and $2,900. A few factors influence your total repair cost, including the component of your well that needs repair or replacement, the extent of the damage, the accessibility of the pump, and the age and size of your well pump. It might be more cost-effective to replace your well pump if it’s old or has multiple broken components, as the average cost to replace a well pump is $1,800.

Typically, plumbing repairs cost about $325 per job but can range from $175 to $4,000 or more. Simple fixes, such as a toilet repair, will be less expensive at around $150 to $400. However, if you have a pipe that has burst, you can expect to pay between $1,000 and $4,000 or more.
