"They advice, and had all our questions answered on sensible and affordable options. Very knowledgeable, prompt, polite, efficient, and thorough team! We are happy with their waterproofing services in our basement (fast sump pump and a grate trench with a discharge line that goes 15 feet to the outside bubbler) as well as crawl space shield installed under our addition. It works well, and Pioneer checked a month later and a year after for inspection and cleaning. A+ work and workers."

Small jobs welcome

"Brian and his crew were great. Brian came out and gave a great estimate for everything I needed. He was very responsive via email as we worked to schedule a time for his crew to come do the work, which was mainly water tank and heating system maintenance. Brian brought Jim promptly and explained the work. They then pointed out a couple of things that they recommended replacing, one they just included in the original cost estimate and another they added on due to additional parts being purchased. Jim was very thorough and professional and, by all accounts, did great work. I’ll be using Heavy Doody for all of my future plumbing and heating needs!"

Customers say: Super punctual

"I cannot say enough about how wonderful Milltown was to work with.  At 2 AM on a Sunday morning, I discovered that the entire footprint of our 1,400 sqft basement was filled with 2.5 feet of water as a result of (we later found out) a broken water main in the street next to our home in Lowell Belvidere.  Folks, that's a lot of water.  We called Milltown and within a short time they were on site helping us figure out what to do. The boiler was completely destroyed, so they ordered and installed a new one, including properly venting everything (which had been kind of a mess anyway in our 115 year old home). They also ordered a part for the hot water heater and were able to repair that instead of having to replace it. The new boiler was onsite within a day and installed the following day. Because it was the middle of the winter and there was roughly 9 feet of snow on the ground, this was no easy task (think: digging out the bulkhead). They shut the water off and took care of all of the things that needed to be done for that so that we didn't have frozen/burst pipes anywhere (blowing everything out, prepping with antifreeze, etc.). The crew was friendly, respectful, creative and inventive with how to solve the problem of getting all of the water pumped out of the basement (which kept coming in until the city finally admitted there was a break in the street - massive backhoe and drilling ensued). Last but not least, Milltown was incredibly understanding about the immediate financial burden a disaster like this can put on a family. Extremely nice people, prompt, responsive, professional, flexible and made the whole experience less of a nightmare. Thank you, Milltown.  From now on, you are our plumbing and heating contractor! :)

"I recently had a brand new HVAC system installed for both heating and cooling, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. The team at Comfort Professor was extremely professional from start to finish. They worked efficiently, paid attention to every detail, and left everything spotless when the job was done. The cleanup was perfect, which I really appreciated. Highly recommend them if you’re looking for quality work and a smooth, hassle-free installation!"

Sump Pump Installation questions, answered by experts

A sump pump's lifespan is typically 7 to 10 years, though the general range can be anywhere from 5 to 15 years. The specific type of pump is a major factor: pedestal sump pumps last an average of 20 to 25 years, whereas submersible sump pumps last between 5 and 15 years. While pedestal pumps are less expensive to service, they are also louder and more prone to clogging.

Several other factors influence longevity, including the pump's quality, usage frequency, and maintenance schedule. A high-quality pump that is well-maintained in a dry climate may last for two decades, while a lower-quality, poorly maintained pump in an area with a high water table or frequent flooding may fail in six years or less.

Regular maintenance, including annual inspections and tuneups from a professional, can significantly extend the pump's life. It is time to consider a replacement if your sump pump runs constantly, cycles frequently, shows visible rust or corrosion, or trips a circuit breaker. As a preventative measure, many homeowners replace their pumps every eight years. It's also worth noting that a manufacturer's warranty can indicate expected lifespan, and some home insurance policies may not cover water damage from a pump that is past its recommended replacement date.

When a backflow valve fails, wastewater will flow back into your system, contaminating your drinking water. You’ll immediately notice backflow valve failure from a rotten smell and brown water coming from faucets. Get in contact with a septic pro or a plumber immediately if you suspect this has happened to you.

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.

There are several things you can do to maintain your sump pump and prevent sump pump problems. For instance, keeping a lid on your sump pit goes a long way in protecting your pump system from silt, sand, dirt, and other debris. When water drains from the outside, such as along your foundation, or with melting snow, water runoff often brings sediment with it. 

Also be wary of corrosion, particularly if your sump pump system is made of metal. Keep an eye out for rust and have it inspected regularly by a plumber or sump pump technician.

Several indicators suggest it's time for a sump pump replacement. A key factor is age; if the pump is over 10 years old, its lifespan is likely ending. Performance issues are also clear signs, such as the pump running constantly, cycling on and off frequently, making unusual noises or vibrations, or failing to function at all. A faulty or burnt-out motor is another definite sign a replacement is needed. Additionally, if you notice any signs of incorrect installation, the pump should be replaced. For a definitive diagnosis, a vetted plumber can assess the pump and confirm whether a replacement is necessary.
