"I called Gash Plumbing and they were here the next day. The guy was professional and worked really hard to clean and empty our septic tank. He went well above just placing a hose and pumping out. I will use them again."

"This was an A+ experience.  I wish all contractors were like Alonso and his crew.   They were professional, respectful, clean, curteous, and most importantly, extremely competent.   Alonso quietly created a plan to stabailize our home, used the state of the art pier system and provided extraordinary service.   He was also very honest, and after the initial estimate of 15 piers needed, he realized that fewer were actually needed to get the job done.   He charged us for the installed piers and did an amazing job overall.   Now my husband and my house are level again!!   Thanks Alonso!

"During the summer of 2017, we had water intrusion from the heavy thunderstorms. The water came in from one of our basement window wells and soaked the drywall. We had to have the drywall removed and remediated for mold. At that point, we hired Leaky Cellar to repair the cracks and remove and fill in the window well where there was water intrusion. We had used Leaky Cellar approximately 2 years earlier to patch cracks on the opposite basement wall, and their work was superior. Kevin showed up promptly for the estimate and immediately decided the best way to keep water out of the basement - patching cracks, and filling in the basement window well, which we did not use, as well as removing a concrete slab adjacent to the foundation outside and earthwork around the foundation. After a brief discussion we decided to install a sump pump, as well. Due to a large amount of business, they could not get to our house until February 2018, but that was all right with us, since they had done good work at fair price for us previously, and clearly a lot of others felt that way, too. They showed up the exact date that they said they would be available, and unfortunately, I was out of town for work. It did not matter, they set about their work efficiently and kept my wife informed as to what they were working on. The completed all work within 2 days, and this included temporarily moving our A/C unit to remove the concrete. The work was all done to our complete satisfaction at the price stated. They had an A/C company come out and re-install the A/C unit. A few months later, when we switched on the air for the warm weather, we found the compressor was not working. I phoned Leaky Cellar to let them know that our unit was not working and Corrina immediately called the A/C company and had them come out and see what was going on. It turns out that the valve to the compressor had been closed and not re-opened after re-installing it. The company (Air Solutions) and Leaky Cellar re-opened the valve, installed new coolant, and installed a new capacitor - free of charge! This was truly exemplary customer service by both companies. There was an issue, and they worked quickly to resolve it, no questions asked. I will be using both companies in the future. Thank you, Leaky Cellar! Definitely, defintely recommend!"

"This company does it ALL! When we called to get a quote on few projects around our house we found out all other extra things they do. I was so impressed by the professionalism and quality work they do. We got our house waterproofed (had a private pool on the side of our house), few drains installed in ground, mudjacking (lifted our driveway and steps) and fixed our sump pump to drain correctly and more. Our foreman was extra awesome and they left the site clean as a whistle. We will definitely use them for our future projects and we already recommended them to our relatives. A1 is A+ in my book!"

Sump Pump Installation questions, answered by experts

One common reason a sump pump stops working is improper sizing. Different locations need different sizes and power ratings of sump pumps depending on the typical amount of water the pump needs to manage. If your sump pump is too small for the quantity of water, it can overwork and either burn out or reduce the life of the unit. If the pump is too big, it can overwork and burn out early. 

Inspect the pump annually, test the float switch, and clean the discharge line to ensure efficient operation.

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.

Yes, you can add a battery to your existing sump pump. There are batteries available that can be plugged into your existing system; however, most battery backups come as a complete system and act as a replacement for your existing sump pump.
