"I am not impressed with the uneven mess of ground that was backfilled and fairly deep sagging dirt where trenches were filled. I understand we have a lot of rock in our dirt but the ground was left so loose around the foundation and trenches that it has sunk causing extremely uneven ground which I'm sure will become mud holes after the first rain."

the leak was a drip at an elbow on the softener cold water feed. it had dripped a long time as it didn't show until the sheetrock was
saturated and mold started. I opened the ceiling and the wall and located how for it had run giving me a good look at the zigzag
placement of the water line when the softener was installed. The provider readily agreed to clean that up with the cost of a foot or two of pipe. I am completely happy "
"Patrick was quick to respond to our emergency, knowledgeable in handling the repair, & reasonably priced. I would hire him again for any of my home's plumbing needs."
"The initial consultation was very pleasant. We agreed to take our shared fence down so they could access the area needing work. They would be entering from our neighbors yard. They called my husband and told them they would be starting on Oct. 9. My husband waited all day for them to arrive, no call, text , or email explaining their absence. They arrived the next day. Workers got all but concrete poured. My husband noticed they did not pull the stump out as agreed right next to where they were pouring. He contacted the leader and told him he under no circumstances did not want concrete poured until the stump was removed to avoid future damage to our new foundation. The worker said they would remove it. I got home the next day and noticed they concrete was done and the stump was still there. I also noticed they had broken some of my curbing and did not fix it. My neighbors yard was littered with leftover gravel mix, concrete and trash. They came back to collect their tools and picked up some of their trash. My husband came home and looked over their work with the lead guy. I pointed out that I was upset they had broken curbing and did not bother fixing it. He said he could come back in a few weeks to fix it. (It has been 3 weeks and it is still not fixed.) We questioned the stump still being there after we were very clear about what we wanted. He said the "cut the root that went under our foundation. In summary, they did a great job with the concrete, but left a mess for us to clean up. They broke things said they would fix them but did not . They did not follow through with what my husband said in regards to not pouring until the stump was removed."

Are you licensed and insured?
Do you have any customer testimonials I can read?
How do you handle unforeseen challenges that occur during the job?
Is your fee a flat rate or hourly?
Do you do the work, or do you have subcontractors?
Is everyone who does the work licensed and qualified plumbers?
Is cleanup included in the quote?
Do you offer a warranty or guarantee on your work?
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.
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.
Yes, you can add a battery to your existing sump pump. There are batteries available that can be plugged into your existing system; however, most battery backups come as a complete system and act as a replacement for your existing sump pump.
