"After the big spring rains, water began seeping into my basement at several locations. I could see tree roots encroaching on the sump pump and assumed that drain tile was clogged resulting in water pressure strong enough to seep through the joint between the foundation wall and the floor. Tim explained that tree roots should be killed off with copper sulfate and that seepage was likely the result of cracks in the foundation wall that are covered up by the drywall. He said a single leak can appear in multiple locations as it travels along the 2x4's anchored to the floor. We talked about how I could go about finding cracks. He showed me the machine he would use if I decided to have him clear out the drains and warned that the silt and debris may tear up my sump pump. His focus was on helping me understand what my options are, not selling me a service I may not need and for that I'm grateful. I will definitely call him back when the time comes."

"LUIS WAS PROFESSIONAL FROM THE MOMENT HE WALKED THRU THE DOOR TO ASSESS THE PROBLEM AND GIVE ME A WRITTEN QUOTE. HE AND HIS TEAM WERE PUNCTUAL, SHOWED A STRONG WORK ETHIC AND CLEANED UP EACH DAY OF THE PROJECT. I WAS AMAZED AT THE AMOUNT OF WORK INVOLVED IN INSTALLING A SUMP PUMP, REPAIRING A WATER SEEPAGE PROBLEM OF MANY YEARS. I FEEL THAT I GOT MORE THAN A FAIR PRICE FOR THE AMOUNT OF WORK ENTAILED! I WOULD CERTAINLY RECOMMEND LUIS LOZANO AND LA WATERPROOFING TO ANYONE. DANYA GATTONE"

"Horatio and his team took my "sump pump turns on every minute, don't know where all this water is coming from" issue to their heart which is heartwarming to experience. They diagnosed the problem by spending like 4 hours at my place and when we could not figure out the exact cause, they did help narrow it down to being either a broken intake pipe or high water table. They also put a temporary reroute for ground water to rule out any issues with the sewer line which is the case sometimes. They replaced one of my broken sump pump too for a reasonable price."
Pipe was completely packed! Drain cleaning was not going to do the  job here!

"The technician came out after-hours to look at my sump-pump, which was stuck in the "on" position. He got it working properly, then we discussed pros and cons of keeping a 10-year-old pump. I opted to replace, and he was back the next day, on time. He put the new unit in and tested it. Something was not right with the backup pump. He brought a whole new setup the next day and completed the job. This company has seasoned technicians who have been with them for years."

"The sump pump in my house started to make buzzing sound. I call the company on Saturday and was pleasantly surprised to get a call back. A technician came on Sunday. He confirmed the pump has died. He gave me two options: he can install a new one right away or I can buy a new one and he can come back to install. Since the one he has isn't what I like, I decided to go with second option. I really like the honesty and being given the options. The new pump was installed the next day by the same technician, who looks like having done it many times. Everything works perfectly afterward. I would recommend them to anyone."

"We couldn't be happier with the service provided by Lawrence Liss of Reliance Plumbing. Our sump pump motor burned up with all of the recent rain & basement flooded. Lawrence Liss came to the rescue and worked through the night to install new pumps as well as work outside in the rain to run PVC piping away from the house. If you use this company....ask for Lawrence Liss if you want the job done properly! He thoroughly explained how the new pump alarm panel worked as well. Very professional young man who knows his business."

"Gerardo showed up within one hour after I submitted my online request at Homeadvisor. He worked professionally through inspection on the sump pump, check valve & drain line, explained the diagnosis and quoted the estimate clearly, and then completed the fix as expected. I would recommend the service to any one."

Sump Pump Installation questions, answered by experts

A sewage ejector pump is necessary if you have any plumbing fixtures, such as a bathroom, laundry room, or sink, located below the level of your home's main sewer line. Standard plumbing relies on gravity to drain wastewater and solid waste into the municipal sewer system or a septic tank. For fixtures below this level, like those in a basement, gravity cannot move the waste upward. The ejector pump provides the force needed to pump the sewage up to the main line. Without one, wastewater from below-ground fixtures would back up, potentially causing a sewage overflow and flooding. If all of your plumbing is on the main floor or higher, gravity is sufficient and an ejector pump is not needed.

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.

First, you can try unplugging the two sump pump cords, one for the motor and one for the float switch, then plugging them back in to reset the sump pump. You can also reset the sump pump by turning it off and back on at the breaker. Many sump pumps have a reset button, which you can press and hold for a few seconds to reset the device.

Test regularly, clean the pump, and inspect the discharge line to ensure efficient operation.

You should be fine. Most high-grade grinder pumps have a 24-hour holding capacity within the tank. You can continue to use the facilities so long as the power outage does not stretch into days. In a worst-case scenario, attach a generator to the grinder pump, providing it has sufficient electric capacity.
