"First, I need to apologize to Mr. Pruitt.  I thought I had left a glowing review the last time he came out but evidently it didn't publish because I can;t find it here anywhere.  We bought our current house in March of 2014.  It is on a well and we could see by the orange stains in the toilets and tubs that we had a problem.  We had a new water softening system put in by another company.  In December of that year the pump stopped working and we called Mr. Pruitt.  Despite being a new customer he came out the same day and diagnosed the problem.  We had "the worst water he has seen in 40 years".  He replaced the pump and the tanks and cleaned my well.  He was courteous, knowledgeable and professional. Thirteen months later (just outside the one year warranty) the pump died. 

Mr Pruitt came out and delivered the distressing news that the pump failed because the water was just so bad.  He installed a higher HP commercial grade pump at cost.  He didn't have to do that.  It wasn't his fault the well is so bad.  But he is a really nice guy who wants to do right by his customers.  I was very grateful to him for working with me on the cost.  He and his guy worked their behinds off all day on a Saturday and he didn't charge me any labor costs.  And if that weren't enough, he cajoled the manufacturer of the pump itself to give me a better warranty on the pump. He really went above and beyond.

He has been back twice since (once to diagnosed and repair a faulty pressure switch and once to repair a cracked pipe) and has refused to charge me anything.  He drives almost 1.5 hours from his place in St. Pete up to my home in New Port Richey and won't even accept gas money for his trouble. 

If you need a reputable and professional well and pump service you should definitely work with Earl Pruitt.  He's a rock solid man who runs a rock solid company and they don't make them like that much anymore.  Thank you Mr. Pruitt!

"Very professional, located and handled the issue with our sump pump drain line blockage within hrs. But not only that then went the extra mile to prevent the blockage from ever occurring again in the future and making a whole new drain line above ground so it doesnâ t get blocked with mud with the Florida rain. The gentleman Marty is very service oriented and has a very high care factor."

Sump Pump Installation questions, answered by experts

Most sump pumps come with power cords that can be plugged into an outlet, but there are options that can be hardwired into a home’s electrical system. Either way, it’s smart to have a backup power supply in case the electricity goes out during a storm. That way, the sump pump can keep running and removing water from the sump pit.

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.

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.

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.

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.
