"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"

"We purchased a new home a few months ago, and a lot of things needed to be replaced. On the top of the list for us was the furnace and A/C. We called probably 6-7 different companies to come out and give us estimates, but we were never really thrilled with any of those companies, especially after reading reviews. Skip forward a few weeks, and a check valve on our sump pump went out, so water sprayed all over the closet where the sump pump was kept, on a Saturday. Steve made it out in probably 45 minutes or so, if that, and did a fix. The pump itself was old, and the battery backup was not functional, so I decided to have the whole thing replaced. A few days later, the job was done. I was impressed by Steve, and saw that they did HVAC work, so I decided to have them do an estimate on a new A/C and Furnace. Later the same day, the owner of the company came out and gave us an estimate. There was no pressure whatsoever to make a purchase, the conversation was just matter of fact about what we needed and what we didn't need. We live in a town that technically requires permits to do work like this, but every provider up until TopTec said that we could get away without doing the permits, so why pay the money. TopTec encouraged us to do the permits so we'd have a third party review their work to ensure it was done right for our own peace of mind. This really told me that not only they were confident in their work, but also that what was going to be done would be up to code. I had been toying with getting a new hot water heater based on how old ours was, so we decided to have them do that too. The workers were thoughtful and explained everything in detail. They don't subcontract. If you are looking for the absolute cheapest provider, these guys probably aren't for you. But, if you want the job done right, thoroughly, and with high end products, this guys are the route you want to go. It's so hard to find providers you can trust, but I really feel like they earn the high review scores they got if you do your research. I'll definitely have more work for them in the future."

"Everything was installed well. It did take two days, but I was getting a full system replacement of my entire HVAC system. The sales team gave me many options and I was really able to make a educated decision with no pressure. Thank you."

"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."

Sump Pump Installation FAQs, answered by experts

Yes, it’s normal (and beneficial) to have a small amount of water in the bottom of your sump pit. It shows that your system is collecting groundwater, rain, and excess water from around your property—just like it’s supposed to. However, if the sump pit is always full, you might have a leak or a faulty sump pump.

Sewer ejector pumps need to be cleaned at least once a year by a professional. You shouldn’t attempt to clean it yourself because it can release sewer gasses that are toxic to humans and can be fatal. But to keep the system as clean as possible between professional inspection and cleaning services, be sure to only flush human waste and toilet paper. Avoid flushing items that can clog the system, like paper towels, grease, oil, or menstruation products.

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

No. Sump pumps have different capacities, which refers to the volume of water that they can remove. They also come in various horsepower ratings, which measure the size of the pump’s motor. For many homes, 1/3 horsepower is enough. But if you live in an area that floods often, you might need a more powerful model.

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 move wastewater and solid waste to the municipal sewer or septic tank. However, for fixtures located below grade (e.g., in a basement), gravity is not sufficient.

The purpose of a sewage ejector pump is to actively pump this wastewater and solid waste upward into the main sewer line. Without an ejector pump in this situation, wastewater would have no way to exit and would eventually back up, causing a sewage overflow or flooding in your basement. If all of your home's plumbing is on the main floor or higher, gravity can handle the drainage, and an ejector pump is not needed.
