"Paul did a great job. I had a more complicated water softener I purchased online that Paul had not installed before, but he installed it successfully along with a sediment filter. He took away my older softener and salt tank. Paul was friendly and quick to respond to my request for a quote. He completed the work in just a few hours, and charged me what he quoted me. I am please with the work and would recommend him others."

"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."

"It went great.  Initially was only going to have two supply runs replaced but Tom, on inspecting the ductwork did three.  His sheet metal work is awesome!  Also the dryer vent looks great.  He had to go through brick to install it and it took quite some time to get the hole drilled."

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

Yes, many modern water pumps are designed with energy efficiency in mind. Look for pumps with high efficiency ratings or those with an Energy Star certification. These pumps consume less power and can reduce your utility bills. Additionally, variable-speed pumps are more efficient since they can adjust the flow based on demand, providing significant savings over time.

The cost to repair a sump pump ranges from $400 to $550, depending on the extent of the repair and your location. Minor repairs, like fixing a switch or replacing a float, can cost just a few hundred dollars. However, more significant issues, such as motor replacement or addressing electrical problems, may cost closer to $550. Keep in mind that regular maintenance can help prevent costly repairs, and if a sump pump is beyond repair, a full system replacement ranges between $650 and $1,400.

Yes, it’s possible to install a sewage ejector pump outside rather than in a basement. However, there may be some extra steps involved, including running pipes from the inside to the outside of your home and digging (and re-filling) a hole for the basin. If you aren’t comfortable with this type of work, contact a plumbing pro to handle it for you.

Inspect the pump annually, test the float switch, and clean the discharge line to ensure efficient operation.

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.
