"AJ & crew were fantastic! I needed a gas line to my fire place in the living room installed, and another gas line to my backyard. Having worked in HVAC prior, I know good pipe work & they knocked it out of the park! Clean, straight, lines! Once they were done, AJ showed me how to operate everything in a clear, professional manner. If you need some plumbing work done, AJ is the guy! Highly Recommend."

"I called Charlie due to a leaking water heater I discovered at one of my rental properties.  The heater was leaking badly and causing some flooding in the unit.  Charlie came over at around 7pm to get the system to where it would stop leaking, so that the necessary work could be performed the next day.  The leaking water heater was unfortunately boxed in behind another water heater, and there were many original installation problems to deal with.  Lack of proper shutoff valves at the water and gas made everything a lot more complicated.    Charlie came back the next evening and worked until around 12:30 am to ensure that everything was properly hooked up and confirmed personally that all of the tenants were getting water again. He met me the next day and thoroughly described the operation of the heaters and offered to return to help work out some pressure problems caused by the old piping in the building.  The work was quality, and he was very pleasant to deal with.  I plan to call Charlie again in the future if I have any other plumbing or HVAC issues."

"Daniel and co. did a very thorough job and informed me of what they were doing throughout the process. He was familiar with the flood control system a previous owner installed so he was able to identify the problem(s) quickly and get them fixed. He was straightforward and always quite open about the cost. We're kind of going to have to wait until the next big precipitation event to make sure the flood system is working again but at least there's no more water in our basement!"

"We called Patrick to fix a sewer smell in our basement. After digging out a section of the floor, he found a pipe installed by the previous owner that had never been correctly attached to the sewer main. He and his crew worked on a Friday and Saturday to fix the issue. They jackhammered out the floor, dug up the old pipe and replaced it. Patrick was very attentive and showed me all the steps he was taking, carefully explaining everything that needed to be done. Cleaned up afterward and finished the job without issue. Highly recommended."

"Frank did an amazing job during our plumbing crisis. Our basement sewage ejector pump had burned out, causing a backup of waste. Frank and his brother heroically cleared out the waste and replaced the pump with a model better suited for the job. They were quick, friendly, and transparent through the entire process and their pricing is fair and straightforward. I definitely recommend calling Frank and SewerServ for any plumbing needs."

Sump Pump Installation FAQs, answered by experts

A small sump pump running infrequently uses an average of 10 kilowatt-hours (kWh) of electricity per month. The average cost for electricity is $0.171 per kWh. The size and use frequency affect how much electricity it uses. Sump pumps average one-third to one horsepower (hp) motors. One hp is equal to 745.7 watts. Watts multiplied by the time your pump is running divided by 1,000 equals your average kWh. Multiply kWh by your average cost of electricity. In areas with high rain or a marsh basin, the average cost can be as high as $15-$25 a month.

If your water pump fails, the first step is to turn off the power to the pump to prevent any further damage. Check for common issues such as clogs, electrical problems, or mechanical failures. If you cannot identify the problem, contact a professional who specializes in pump repairs. Prompt action can help minimize damage and repair costs.

Most sump pumps come with power cords that can be plugged into an outlet, but there are options that can be hardwired into a home’s electrical system. Either way, it’s smart to have a backup power supply in case the electricity goes out during a storm. That way, the sump pump can keep running and removing water from the sump pit.

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

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.
