"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

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.

The most common cause of a clogged sump pump is natural debris buildup. As water enters the sump pit, it can carry small pieces of debris that build up over time, or the debris can get caught in the filter. If you forget to cover the pit after cleaning the sump pump and pit, debris can also collect in the pit. Corrosion on the metal discharge pipe can also clog the pump. Additionally, if your pipes freeze, it can prevent water from draining properly and cause a clog.

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.

3/4 HP is stronger than 1/2 HP. Horsepower measures how much weight can be moved and how fast, or the power needed to move 550 pounds one foot in one second. 1 HP equals 550 foot-pounds per second, so the higher the horsepower, the heavier the load it can lift. While 1/2 HP is a standard, powerful option, 3/4 HP has the extra strength to handle heavier, larger doors with ease.

Some sump pumps are powered by water rather than electricity. Water-powered sump pumps generally use one gallon of city water to pump out two gallons of water from its basin. Therefore, if you're looking at a potential 10,000-gallon flood, your sump pump will need to use 5,000 gallons of city water to prevent it.
