"Given a disappointing Home Depot oven delivery /install-I took the precautions to engage a plumber just in case. Neo was extremely responsive and timely-with same day service. HD offered a 10 day delay-an unacceptable option"

"Petros had a cancellation and was able to fit me in immediately. He identified the problem and fixed it very quickly. I was worried that the entire valve would need replacement, but he found that the problem was just a stripped connector in the faucet handle that was easily repaired."

If you want the best in the business to provide you with expertise, professionalism, and value when it comes to basement waterproofing, you only need to call one company - Pioneer Basement.

No - this is not a paid endorsement - Timothy Xavier just left my house after installing a replacement sump pump. He is extremely knowledgeable, efficient, and meticulous.

I have been dealing with Pioneer Basements for 10 years now and continue to be impressed with their honesty and solutions.

Don't waste your time or money going anywhere else - these guys are the best!

"From the start the Project Manager, Dale, was very responsive and took time to explain any questions I had. Two day install went smoothly except for a syncing issue with the nest thermostat. Bobby’s install team actually finished on day 1 but Sila sends a foreman and independent technician to check and make sure everything was installed and is working properly. Thermostat issue was a bit more tricky than expected but the entire team communicated smoothly with each other and the technicians, Brian and Kyle, made sure everything got resolved before leaving."

"Went extremely well. Jeff told me the options and talked me through each of them. Once decision was made, he scheduled everything and was done within a week. Removed old oil burner and tank. Installed new Rinnai combi unit, so now there was more room in basement for my clutter. He went above and beyond. Did such a good job, we hired him to redo our bathroom and received the same, excellent work. We will be keeping him on our speed dial for any other work that we will be doing in the future."

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! :)

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 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.

Sump pumps prevent basement flooding, reduce humidity, and protect against water damage.

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.

Thankfully, you do have a few sump pump backup options in case it fails. One option is a battery-powered backup sump pump. Another option is using a portable backup generator as a power supply for your sump pump. Unlike a battery-powered backup which has limited power, a generator can run around the clock for as long as you need it. 

Or you can opt for a water-powered backup pump, which uses your home’s water supply as a source of power. However, this may not be the best option if you find your house frequently has low water pressure.

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.
