"Mack and Aaron were both EXTREMELY helpful, knowledgable, professional, polite and concerned about cleaniness (and we appreciated all those postive characteristics!). Really excellent professionals who serviced our furnance and installed a new thermostat that is really nice. We cannot recommend Schaal highly enough and Mack and Aarson were really, really good to work with. If you are seeing this and considering an HVAC company, there is no other choice than Schaal! (We have used Schaal since the early 1990s and always been totally pleased with their service, technicians and people who answer the phones!)."

"Hired Connections plumbing for adding rough in for basement bathroom and a stub for addition of a sink for a wet bar. This was a large job requiring breaking concrete in basement floor and adding to existing system. I also had them replace the entire cast iron pipe from main level with pvc. Ian provided a great quote and filed all permit’s with the city. Made it easy on me as the home owner. His crew did a great job tucked everything into truss space for a cleaner appearance. The crews were great to work with. Respectful informative, professional are a few words that come to mind. When the job was done everything passed inspection the first time and they did a great job cleaning up the mess from concrete and dirt removal. I don’t usually post about anything but feel they deserve credit for job well done. I will use them again!"

"Loose faucet base at kitchen sink. Tried to sell me on the idea that tightening from underneath wouldn?t last. It would probably come loose again. Might be cheap faucet or defective. I didn?t buy any of his theories. Totally not willing to pay for new ?better quality? faucet and installation for a gigantic price tag."

"Very well. The installers arrived on time, did the removal of the old unit and installation of the new unit, tested the new unit, carefully explained how the new thermostat works, cleaned up thoroughly, and left. Bell Brothers completed the Mid-American rebate application and sent it along with the bill."

"They did a great job replacing a rotted exterior window sill and repairing the damaged plaster below it in an historic home. They did the work professionally, quickly, and neatly. I am very happy with the results."

I'm veteran owned business owner, with several years of experience in many areas, including plumbing, electrical, and roofing. My usual tasks are just normal home maintenance jobs from gutter cleaning, to furnace filter replacement. Lately furniture assembly seems to be a big thing, I'm very good at this, preferably with instructions. Hope to be your call for all your handyman needs.

Sump Pump Installation FAQs, answered by experts

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.

One common reason a sump pump stops working is improper sizing. Different locations need different sizes and power ratings of sump pumps depending on the typical amount of water the pump needs to manage. If your sump pump is too small for the quantity of water, it can overwork and either burn out or reduce the life of the unit. If the pump is too big, it can overwork and burn out early. 

Costs depend on pump type, labor rates, and the extent of repairs or installation needs.

Sewer ejector pumps need to be cleaned at least once a year by a professional. You shouldn’t attempt to clean it yourself because it can release sewer gasses that are toxic to humans and can be fatal. But to keep the system as clean as possible between professional inspection and cleaning services, be sure to only flush human waste and toilet paper. Avoid flushing items that can clog the system, like paper towels, grease, oil, or menstruation products.

Grinder pumps alone cost $300 on average. The average cost to install a new grinder pump is between $2,000 and $4,000, including the pump and labor. This price can also change based on the exact type of grinder pump you choose, labor costs in your area, and the power system your home currently has.
