"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."

"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

A water pressure booster doesn't require special maintenance. Like any house system, inspections should be a regular part of your annual schedule. Check for leaks, faulty valves, pressure loss, and mineral build-up. Pressure loss could be a result of mineral build-up, and you can descale the system with a vinegar and water solution.

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.

Several indicators suggest it's time for a sump pump replacement. A key factor is age; if the pump is over 10 years old, its lifespan is likely ending. Performance issues are also clear signs, such as the pump running constantly, cycling on and off frequently, making unusual noises or vibrations, or failing to function at all. A faulty or burnt-out motor is another definite sign a replacement is needed. Additionally, if you notice any signs of incorrect installation, the pump should be replaced. For a definitive diagnosis, a vetted plumber can assess the pump and confirm whether a replacement is necessary.

If your sump pump isn’t engaging, it might be clogged with dirt and debris. Check to see if the fitting lid is loose and has been letting debris in. Next, check the float and make sure it’s not obstructed by rust or gunk, which results from insufficient maintenance. Tangled wires or damaged switching systems can also stop your sump pump from engaging.

The difference between an ejector pump and a sump pump lies in their purpose and design—an ejector pump functions to remove liquid gray water and soft solid sewage waste from your home. If you have a laundry room or bathroom in your basement, an ejector pump for your sewage tank prevents sewage from backing up in your washing machine or bathroom’s drains.

A sump pump is designed to remove excess groundwater that may enter your home, either due to flooding or periods of heavy rain.
