"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."

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

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.

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.

Every three to four months, you should clean any dirt and debris off of your sump pump. You should also check the inlet screen (at the bottom of the pump) to make sure that it isn’t blocked. On top of that, you should deep clean your sump pump once per year—or hire a sump pump pro to do it for you.

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.

A sump pump should be placed at least three feet deep in a pit. The rim of the sump pump basin should be level with your basement floor. If you find your pit is too deep, you can fill the bottom with gravel until the rim of the sump pump is flush with the floor.
