"I posted an initial review on 2/21/19 on a job done on 1/11/19 to fix groundwater from coming into our basement. The drainage system and sump they installed was not collecting all the water that was coming in, as we had leaking from several areas along an uneven rock ledge. I had reached out to our salesperson by phone and email and never heard back, so I was very frustrated. About 3 weeks after I posted the review, I did get a call from Jeff Allen, one of the supervisors. To make a long story short, he sent out one of their waterproofing specialists to look at the problem. We had already hired an independent mason to try to remedy the problem but he had not yet had a chance to do the job. Jeff convinced me that CT Basement systems would do absolutely whatever it took to fix my water problem. I cancelled the independent mason. Danny, a mason from CT Basement Systems came out and used a very ingenious method to divert all the water to the originally installed water guard trough and then to the sump. It is working beautifully!! I think Danny is a genius and I am so impressed and thankful for Jeff's perseverance and kindness in making this happen. I am now a very happy customer."

"Great. They called to make appointment. Called to let me know they would be there in 15 minutes, Were on time, professional, efficient. Due to house and plumbing being 50+ years old, they did have to find a part at the supply store but came right back and finished the job. They advised us to get the lower shut off valve fixed in the future and sent us an estimate. Very pleased and would recommend them to my friends.$199"

"Excellent work.  Was refreshing to work with a contractor who did the simple things such as showing up when they said they would, completing work as specified, completing in a timely fashion and communicating all along.  AJ was great to work with and originally came out for drainage work and tying our sump pump discharge into buried PVC pipe to drain in the backyard away from the house.  We were also in process of running a gas line to the house and when asked if they'd be interested in excavating the trench, which was no small task at ~450 ft along driveway and several trees/stumps/rocks, AJ was more than willing to take on the job.  AJ coordinated with the gas company and dug the trench per their specifications and backfilled with sand all within a couple of days.
Once the gas line was installed, AJ and his team completed the drainage work which consisted of tying in sump pump discharge, three gutter downspouts and a yard drainage box to pick up excess surface water at a low spot near driveway.  The discharge was run approximately 100 ft to the rear of our yard and a pop up emitter was installed to keep all water away from the house.  All excavation was backfilled and top soil added and graded with seed and straw laid.  Grass seed began coming up within a week and has filled in nicely.  
Throughout the process AJ kept in contact with what was going on and what they would be doing next.  The work was completed faster than we anticipated and the crew kept the site clean each day when they were done.  AJ went out of his way to make sure we were happy with the work and made sure the job was completed to satisfaction including following up with me to make sure we were happy after the job was complete and he had already been paid.  The crew was great, worked hard and put in a full work day and then some everyday.  The were several challenges with this job including a tight work space with many trees, roots and rocks.  The crew took great care to make minimal disturbance to surrounding trees, shrubs, etc.  We were very happy with AJ and crew and would happily use them in the future especially considering the reasonable price.  We even had the neighbors comment on the quality of the work done and how fast the work was completed.

Sump Pump Installation questions, answered by experts

Installing a battery backup for your sump pump is recommended, particularly if you live in an area with frequent power outages or severe rainstorms. A sump pump requires electricity to function, and a battery backup ensures it can continue to move water out of your home if the power goes out, providing crucial protection against flooding. Additionally, frequent power outages can create electrical surges that might damage the sump pump's motor. A battery backup system offers an additional layer of protection, ensuring your basement stays dry.

Submersible and pedestal sump pumps are two popular types of sump pumps. Submersible models are covered by water in a sump pit, which helps keep the motor cooler and quieter. Pedestal sump pumps stick out of the sump pit, so the motor stays dry and is easier to access. Submersible sump pumps are the pricier option, but they also have longer life spans.

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, you can add a battery to your existing sump pump. There are batteries available that can be plugged into your existing system; however, most battery backups come as a complete system and act as a replacement for your existing sump pump.

The most common cause of a clogged sump pump is natural debris buildup. As water enters the sump pit, it can carry small pieces of debris that build up over time, or the debris can get caught in the filter. If you forget to cover the pit after cleaning the sump pump and pit, debris can also collect in the pit. Corrosion on the metal discharge pipe can also clog the pump. Additionally, if your pipes freeze, it can prevent water from draining properly and cause a clog.
