"I had a great experience working with Basement Systems USA. These guys were very professional, hardworking, and clean. They told me exactly what I needed to do and I was glad I went with their suggestions. I always had leak issues and occasionally my old sump pump wouldnâ t even work. I can truly forget about it now even in the worst of storms. In fact, that happened the following weekend after they left! A big storm came through and we even lost power for a couple of hours. The backup battery they installed let the sump pump keep working perfectly. Talk about just in time!"

"High praise for Poseidon Plumbing & Home Services! Jordan from Poseidon has come twice to our condo now and has done outstanding work! He replaced two ancient toilets and updated the venting on our newly installed dryer. Jordan was prompt, professional, very knowledgeable and did an excellent job. We will definitely call Poseiden for all of our future plumbing needs. Highly recommend!"

"I'm not fully moved into the home yet, but I will update when I am there permanently. The crew was very professional, worked diligently, cleaned up after every day of work (three day job--french drain expansion, two additional sump pumps installed, window drains into the sump pumps, pretty extensive job)."

"I placed an Angi service request and choose the first responder. I needed to replace the sewage ejector sump pump, and during the total basement plumbing inspection, a leak was discovered on the main line of the hot water boiler, with evidence of water around the base of the tank of the boiler area. After a discussion with the technician, I eventually decided to replace both items."

"First, can I just comment on how professional Mr. Rooter was from the very first phone call to schedule service. Since it wasn't an emergency, they had me choose from selected "2 hour windows" where they were committed to arriving. They sent a text with a photo of my expected tech (what a great feature so you know for sure who is coming to your house, especially these days), and emails as reminders. Plus the tech (Zach) called when he was ready to come and asked me if the time was still ok with me. How convenient! He put little booties over his shoes each time he entered my home. He was clean in appearance and personable from the start. Truly very friendly and I felt comfortable having him in my home. Zach has 15+ years experience according to the little bio Mr. Rooter sent me ahead of time, and it shows. Jacob, his trainee with a few years experience, was on his way to becoming independent very soon. Just needing to learn the Mr. Rooter ropes. I wanted a kitchen sink sprayer installed. Love those handy things but never had one because for some reason my dishwasher's aerator was located in that same spot. Zach explained to me how things have changed over the years, showed me how the sprayer and hose would connect under my sink so that nothing would back up, and all in a manner that I actually understood! Then he and Jacob worked together very quickly to get my sprayer installed and and working. Who knew such a small thing could bring so much joy. While he was there, Zach asked if he could inspect my plumbing or if I had any other concerns. I mentioned my toilet made bubbling sounds for quite awhile. He said he would take a look. I thought maybe something was caught in the line. He inspected with a camera but told me he doubted that was the case as usually if there was an air pocket or something with the sewer, I would also hear bubbling in my shower and sink in the same bathroom, which I never have. After camera inspection was complete and nothing was in the line, and since my toilet was 22 years old, he suggested a new one might be in order since I didn't like plunging it. He told me he could install it at that time if I wanted it since it was in the window of time allotted for me and he didn't have another call to attend to right away, or he could come back at another convenient time, whichever I chose. (There is some sort of good discount to have work done in the same day, so that was a plus!) Well, he and Jacob had 2 styles (round or oval) of Kohler toilets to choose from on his truck, high efficiency (half-flush and full-flush) with "quiet-close" toilet seats included to boot. Those seats are awesome when you have kids who just slam everything down, ha. I think they had that toilet done within an hour from start to finish! BTW, this was written by the woman of the house, but Zach willingly spoke to my husband over the phone about the toilet while he was here, so I didn't feel any pressure to make a decision on my own. So now I am scheduling a time for Mr. Rooter to come and install a sink basin in my garage for dirty clean up jobs. Zach was able to figure out how everything would connect from my basement and inside bathroom to my garage. He also said he would do a full sewer inspection with his camera when that happens. Can't wait....really. They are knowledgeable, professional, respectable, and very nice too!"

Sump Pump Installation questions, 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.

To maintain your sump pump, start by checking it every three to four months to ensure it’s in working order. Clear any debris from the pit because blockages can prevent the pump from operating efficiently. You should also test the pump by pouring a bucket of water into the pit. If it turns on automatically and drains the water, it’s functioning correctly. Inspect the discharge line for clogs, and ensure it directs water away from your home. Once a year, clean the pump itself, and consider having it professionally serviced for optimal performance.

If you’re wondering if your home even needs a sump pump, consider whether you’ve struggled with flooding issues in the past. If your house is in a flood-prone area, your yard has poor drainage, or you’ve dealt with any other water problems, then it’s likely well worth it to replace your old sump pump with a new one.

Thankfully, you do have a few sump pump backup options in case it fails. One option is a battery-powered backup sump pump. Another option is using a portable backup generator as a power supply for your sump pump. Unlike a battery-powered backup which has limited power, a generator can run around the clock for as long as you need it. 

Or you can opt for a water-powered backup pump, which uses your home’s water supply as a source of power. However, this may not be the best option if you find your house frequently has low water pressure.

Start by calling a plumber if you want to install a sump pump battery backup. Talk to them about your situation and needs. Sometimes, electricians or waterproofing contractors will install a battery backup, and in that case, the plumber you call should be able to point you in the right direction.
