"Mr. Gentry was negligent in the installation of the sump pumps by not drilling weep holes for the sump pumps in the PVC pipes per the installation instructions. This caused the sump pumps to malfunction and my basement to flood. Mr. Gentry was out of town when my basement flooded and I called Four Seasons to fix the sump pumps. Four Seasons did so by drilling the weep holes in the PVC pipes. In addition he found a microfiber rag wrapped around the battery pump which must have been dropped by Mr. Gentry during installation. This rag also prohibited the pump from activating. The cost for Four Seasons was $572. My basement was damaged by the flood and we hired Parkside Restoration to remove the damaged carpeting and baseboards. They set up 20 air movers and 2 large dehumidifiers for 4 days. The cost was $4,470. As the water had seeped up the walls, I had to repaint the basement at a cost of $236. I did the painting myself. The new carpet cost is $4,183. Mr. Gentry charge was $3,300 for the sump pumps installation plus some additional plumping work. Contact with Mr. Gentry was made via email on Sept 8, 2024 to which he responded about how much money I was looking for to which I responded that I had not looked @ carpeting yet and would contact him when I had a final amount. My 2nd contact with Mr. Gentry was on October 16, 2024 when he stated that he only warrants his work for 1 year and the flooding occurred 16 months later so he would not assume any responsibility. I told him the pump failure was caused by his negligence to drill weep holes in the PVC pipes per installation instructions. I again contacted Mr. Gentry via text on October 18, 2024 to attempt to settle. He called and stated he would call me on October 21, 2024. We did not hear back from Mr. Gentry again. I would like total reimbursement for the damages to my basement of $9,461 which includes the costs of Four Seasons $572, Parkside Restoration $4,470, paint $236 and carpet $4,183 totaling $9,461."

Affordable Plumbers questions, answered by experts

To bleed air from the pipes, start by turning off the main water supply. Then, starting with the faucet that’s closest to the water valve, open each of your faucets halfway, making sure to open both hot and cold options if they’re separate. This allows the air to escape the pipes. Once all faucets are open, turn your water supply back on and let the water run for 10 to 15 minutes until the faucets stop sputtering.

You can use PEX pipe underground, and it will hold up well in underground insulations. Keep in mind that PEX tubing is not rated for outdoor use and that insulation is necessary in regions that experience cold winters. When using it underground, you should also bury PEX piping at least 12 inches below the frost line.

Dirty, cloudy faucets have been stained by tap water, that is "hard water." The scaly deposits you're seeing are actually signs of calcium buildup. If you have visible cloudiness on the outside, there's a high chance you have calcium buildup in your pipes that needs to be treated.

The time it takes to fix a burst pipe depends on the location and severity of the problem. A minor burst can be cleared up in a day. But if more than one pipe burst or cracked, or the source of the burst and leak is more complex, it can take a week or longer for a licensed local plumber to fix it.

While flooding is always cause for alarm, certain situations are considered more urgent than others. If there is water pooling anywhere in your basement, it’s time to call a local emergency plumber ASAP. Standing water in your basement could be from a plumbing leak or from cracks in your foundation—either situation can go from minor to major very quickly. On average, the cost to hire an emergency plumber ranges from $100 and $500, depending on the scope of the repair and when you call them—calling an emergency plumber on the weekend or on a holiday will cause the rate to jump.
