"Matt and Tyson were awesome. On time, professional, respectful of property, solved tricky sump pump install. Knew codes. Efficient, clean, good electronic system for appointments, reminders, etc."
"No Limits Plumbing and Drains was awesome. It is a small company with the latest tools and equipment, ready to give you personal attention to your needs. Run by Joe and Marco, they do an excellent job of meeting your plumbing requirements at a reasonable price. I cannot speak highly enough of their friendliness, professionalism. work ethic, and downright helpfulness. They seem to do it all, so if you have plumbing needs from a toilet install to a main line drain repair (in my case) call these fellows and they will do a great job at a good value. Call them!"
"Joe and Marco did an amazing job! Great pricing, excellent communication, and outstanding customer service. They were professional, efficient, and did quality plumbing work. Highly recommend them!"
"Rooter Guys installed a sump pump in my basement after we began experiencing flooding. They rearranged their schedule in order to fit us in sooner given the urgency of the project. They were professional, hardworking and kept us informed throughout the process."
"The company showed up when they said they would and completed the job within the time frame that they stated. Communication was a little rough with the field, but communication with the office was very responsive. Considering the extent of the work and the constraints within which they had to work, there was remarkably little collateral damage done. Unfortunately I was not able to witness the work before it was covered up and so I cannot comment on the quality of the installation, but can say that the company did a good job protecting the surrounding landscaped areas and seemed contentious and thoughtful in their approach to the work. I would definitely work with them again."
"I needed a sump pump repair and received two quotes. Bulletproof Plumbing and Heating was cheaper by a couple of hundred dollars. They successfully performed the work as promised and I was impressed with the quality and customer service experience that I had Todd (the owner) quote another project to install new plumbing on a basement kitchenette we were installing. Again his quote was significantly lower than another quote I received and the end result was another quality project completed by his team. Since then I have used Todd and his team for a couple of other plumbing issues. He is very responsive to my texts/calls and it is comforting to know that he will always send the same plumber (Jesse) to address our issues. It is also nice to know that I can always count on Todd 24/7 to respond back to me and treat me as though I was his most important customer. His company is definitely is worth hiring to address your plumbing needs!!!"
"I knew I needed my sewer to be done. I had 3 estimates and this company was fantastic! The quote was fair. Rocky Mountain is professional and trust worthy. Thought it was going to be a few day project. They got it done in one day and back in service! If you?re having drain or plumbing issues. Please call Rocky Mountain plumbing!"
"Found Denver Drain (DD) through Angie list and being an old salesman myself, I reached out to the first company that left a message; that was Jeanette from DD. They could have had someone out the next day, but to accommodate my schedule he was here in 3 days. JJ was professional, courteous, and respectful, and got the job done quickly. I highly recommend DD to anyone and they are now in my contact list as my plumber MW"
"JJ was very courteous and explained everything he was doing. Replace our old plastic sump pump with a sturdy cast iron sump pump that should last a lot longer!"
"Nate Medford conducted our electrical inspection offered by the Awesome Club Membership Program. Nate didn't just inspect, he explained. He also didn't just explain, he corrected issues along the way. Today he brought our subpanel up to code and prevented a probable electrical fire. In addition, Nate spent lengthy time on the phone with me last week, giving clear guidance on LED fixtures to replace our florescent lighting. With Matthew's help, today the 6 light fixtures were replaced, a necessary wireless carbon detector and GFCI outlet installed, and for fun and convenience, 2 USB outlets given. Special note: the GFCI outlet wasn’t a simple swap-out. Nate had to cut into the trim for that installation, which he did incredibly cleanly and precisely. Upon completion, the work areas were cleared of trash and left in great condition. Thank you so much for all your work, your attention to detail, for caring."
Sump Pump Installation questions, answered by experts
You shouldn’t shower while a sump pump isn’t working. Although household wastewater isn’t supposed to go into the sump pit, it’s best to wait to shower until your sump pump is running properly and able to move excess water out of the basement. If you need to shower when the sump pump isn’t working, aim for a short shower.
Every three to four months, you should clean any dirt and debris off of your sump pump. You should also check the inlet screen (at the bottom of the pump) to make sure that it isn’t blocked. On top of that, you should deep clean your sump pump once per year—or hire a sump pump pro to do it for you.
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.
Yes, a well-maintained sump pump can increase a home's value and make it more desirable to potential buyers; it does not lower property value. By protecting the basement from flooding and water damage, a sump pump provides peace of mind and can make the space usable for storage or as an extra room. For buyers interested in homes with basements, a working sump pump is a significant feature that adds value by ensuring the space is secure and less likely to flood.
The cost to repair a sump pump ranges from $400 to $550, depending on the extent of the repair and your location. Minor repairs, like fixing a switch or replacing a float, can cost just a few hundred dollars. However, more significant issues, such as motor replacement or addressing electrical problems, may cost closer to $550. Keep in mind that regular maintenance can help prevent costly repairs, and if a sump pump is beyond repair, a full system replacement ranges between $650 and $1,400.
