"Matt showed up to quote our new construction project and was easy to work with right from the start. Heâ s a go getter in a world where that kind of work ethic grows less common by the year. His knowledge and expertise made us comfortable enough to adapt some of his suggestions into our design. There wasnâ t any detail too great or small to receive his attention. He also completed our well pump & water supply perfectly a couple of days after letting him know we were ready for his services again. I would highly recommend Matt & Royal Flush for any plumbing project from fixing a leaky faucet to designing & installing complete systems for new construction. I look forward to working with him again when we enter that phase of our build."
"Kevin called me the same day I posted the pro request. I scheduled him to come by to do a quote two days later and hired him at that point. Kevin replaced a scary exterior electrical outlet and power cord that powers a pool pump. The power cord was coming out of the ground and arcing and the old outlet was melted around a socket. Not good. Kevin fixed it right up and replaced and greatly improved the whole set up, including installing an exterior outlet and switch that are both protected by the weather. Very impressed and will hire Kevin again."
"Called in claim on 6/18; tech assigned on 6 /19; so far so good. Claim was for failed well pump with NO water to my home with two disabled seniors. Due to heavy workload and no extra pay on weekends the tech came for diagnostics 4 days later. He verified the failed pump and tried to purchase one at Home Depot. None in stock, had to be ordered. Pump came in on 6/30 and tech arrived today, 7/1, and expertly installed the new pump. Choice has a $ 500 limit on well repair, which is 1/3 of a typical bill. That dollar cap is riduculous. On a positive note, C-Force provides expert work for Choice and would be my choice for any future work."
"Service was performed as requested. Update of old electrical wiring was undertaken successfully so new lighting could be installed. I would use this client again. "
"Called AHS....who sent service request to AAA Flexible Pipe. Adam came out quickly and installed new pump just before HEAVY rains hit...Fast and efficient service from AHS and AAA FLEXIBLE PIPE CLEANING."

Sump Pump Installation questions, answered by experts
Sump pumps remove excess water from the lowest point of your home, which prevents flooding. When a sump pit fills with water, a sump pump pushes that water outside of the basin and into an exterior discharge pipe. From there, the water flows away from your home, so it doesn’t damage your foundation.
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.
Installing a battery backup for your sump pump is recommended, particularly if you live in an area with frequent power outages or severe rainstorms. A sump pump requires electricity to function, and a battery backup ensures it can continue to move water out of your home if the power goes out, providing crucial protection against flooding. Additionally, frequent power outages can create electrical surges that might damage the sump pump's motor. A battery backup system offers an additional layer of protection, ensuring your basement stays dry.
Costs range from $300 to $1,200, depending on the pump type, issue, and installation complexity.
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.
