"Randy responded to my call on Christmas Eve that our well pump had gone out and we had no water. He was very professional and responsive. He offered to come out on Christmas morning to our house to assess and conduct repairs. We did not want to impose on his family's Christmas morning so we asked him to come out today (12/26). Randy arrived on time despite being located almost two hours away and was able to quickly assess and repair our well pump; best of all we had water again. His service was excellent and his price was fair. We would hire him again in a heart beat. If you need someone to come out and do work on your well this is the company to call."

"The price was a little expensive, but it was worth every penny. I chose the package with additional add on’s, because I wanted a comprehensive report. Tom was very thorough, professional, and knowledgeable. They saved me a ton of money by finding an issue with the septic system, that wasn’t easy to find. Tom was there for close to 4 hours and went over every aspect of the home with me in a walk through. I would highly recommend Main Choice and will definitely use them again in the future. Bill the owner was a very pleasant guy as well, and wasn’t afraid to roll his sleeves up and get dirty. Couldn’t have been happier with their services."

"We got TWO (you see in pics one has green seat cover, the other purple) Kohler water saver 1.28gpf plug free toilets! I have special needs with my back and we got exactly what we wanted round bowl and standard height. He upgrades from glacier bay to awesome #1 Kohler us because of an initial miscommunication that we easily worked out. Yay! No more plugging AND water savings so they will pay for themselves within a year. Thank you Chuck. We will call your for our next plumbing job!"

"CZ Plumbing is two men named Chuck and Zack. They did work on my renovation project of a very old home and barn. The work includes installing two different types of heating systems, one being radiant floor and the other forced hot water baseboard, a bathroom, a kitchen, and lots of unusual extras. They did a great job. I helped by drilling holes, cleaning up, and going to pick up parts at a supply store. Unlike other plumbers I have hired in the past they gave me a better price because I assisted them. Their prices are fair, but not cheap, because they are professionals. I still have more work to do and they gave me a detailed written estimate of what they would charge to complete the job. I plan on using them exclusively for the rest of my plumbing work. I have been working on these buildings for twenty seven years. In that time I have worked with about six plumbers. I felt gouged every time the other plumbers left the job. The work was never completely done, there was always difficult details that I had to figure out for myself. It always seemed that the other plumbers came and did whatever was most profitable, and left the rest for me to figure out on my own. Chuck and Zack are different. They really know their craft and went out of their way to explain things to me, and then solved every problem. This was a very refreshing experience. I recommend CZ Plumbing to anyone who needs plumbing work done, especially those with very old buildings."

"He repaired my fences, put a lock on a fence and cemented a post in. He also installed a light fixture. I had all the products.
The lock? I can still open the fence. For handyman services, he does individual jobs quickly and is personable.
People are safe with these people."

Sump Pump Installation questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
