"Air conditioner/ furnace was humming al night and apparently had a slow leak. I called GRH&C around 12 and they had someone out by 1:30 and replaced pump by 2. Nice, friendly, nonforceful group of service professions!! Alsio the administrative staff is very pleasant to work with! We have a renta unitl that GRH&C has been involved in getting started with air conditioning and furnace as well as our main residence, I wouldn't use anyone else!!"

"My pump died on me around 8:00 p.m. one night and Staydry sent someone right over the same night and had the pump replaced in 30 minutes and I haven’t had any issues since. I will definitely call them for any further issues I have with my basement."

"Excellent service, to say the least!  I ordered a 20kW Generac generator from a nationwide distributor and had it shipped directly to my location.  I poured the concrete pad myself, and bolted the generator down.  While somewhat proficient with electrical wiring, I did not trust that I could do this job without issue.  I contacted VanderHyde (they were listed as the primary West Michigan Generac Dealer) and asked if they could do the wiring for me.  Ryan Hyde came out for the quote and spent nearly two hours at my house talking about the transfer switch.  Generac provided a 200 amp switch, but my house was wired for 150.  We agreed that I would give them my 200 amp automatic transfer switch, and they would order a 150 amp switch as a replacement......and I would cover the split cost.....essentially adding $360 on to my bill.  I was fine with that.  Jason did the install on 11-16-2012 and spent 8.5 hours outside.  One trip to Lowes/Home Depot was needed for additional parts to tie into the existing power meter.  A great guy - I asked numerous questions and he explained what he was doing as he worked.  Once done, he came inside and asked if I wanted to be present for the "firing up" up the generator.  Overall the price was a bit high, but I also understand that I did not purchase the generator from them.  I was able to get the generator new for a little over $5000 online, which resulted in a large overall cost savings....so I expected to pay a bit more for the work I did not feel confident in doing myself.  I felt they did an amazing job and I would gladly call them again as needed for additional electrical work.  One a side note, I lost my original installation paperwork in a basement flood two years ago.  I called the company and had a copy of all paperwork in my email inbox in less than five minutes.  NICE!  Please note:  This review will be listed under "water softeners" and I cannot find a way to change it!

Sump Pump Installation questions, answered by experts

Sump pump repairs are typically handled by plumbers or waterproofing specialists who are experienced in handling basement and foundation-related issues. Plumbers can address issues like clogs, electrical problems, and mechanical failures, and waterproofing professionals may be ideal if the sump pump is part of a larger drainage or waterproofing system. 

Some people may also call on a general handyperson for minor sump pump repairs. However, for complex problems, hiring a certified plumber or waterproofing expert ensures the work is done correctly and prevents further issues.

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.

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 drain wastewater and solid waste into the municipal sewer system or a septic tank. For fixtures below this level, like those in a basement, gravity cannot move the waste upward. The ejector pump provides the force needed to pump the sewage up to the main line. Without one, wastewater from below-ground fixtures would back up, potentially causing a sewage overflow and flooding. If all of your plumbing is on the main floor or higher, gravity is sufficient and an ejector pump is not needed.

To maintain your sump pump, start by checking it every three to four months to ensure it’s in working order. Clear any debris from the pit because blockages can prevent the pump from operating efficiently. You should also test the pump by pouring a bucket of water into the pit. If it turns on automatically and drains the water, it’s functioning correctly. Inspect the discharge line for clogs, and ensure it directs water away from your home. Once a year, clean the pump itself, and consider having it professionally serviced for optimal performance.

In most cases, standard homeowners insurance policies do not cover damage from a sump pump failure or overflow. Coverage for water damage is often limited to sudden, unexpected events like a burst pipe that was not caused by negligence. To be covered for sump pump issues, you will likely need to purchase a specific rider, endorsement, or additional water backup insurance. If your insurer offers this type of coverage, they may require proof that your sump pump is regularly maintained.
