"16 months ago, All About Plumbing replaced our septic pump. They responded quickly to our first distress call at seeing the alarm light and were here in a matter of hours to diagnose the problem. The new pump was ordered and installed within a few days. Last weekend, the alarm light was on again. We called first thing Monday morning. Someone was here within hours, diagnosed the problem, ordered the parts, set up a date for repair within a week, and showed up exactly when they said they would to fix the problem. We're impressed with this company's responsiveness and professionalism. They know what they're doing, give an honest estimate with no further surprises, and get the job done in a timely manner. Very pleased with their service. Highly recommended."

"Dax was helpful, efficient, and friendly! The new toilet was a same-day install and the Workspace was kept super tidy. And we love the new toilet! He also cycled the sump pump while he was here. This is the 3rd time we have used this company (water heater and sump pump previously) and will continue to do so!"

"I met Richard Allbritton owner of Holy Water Plumbing almost a year ago. He installed a tankless system and installed an all house purification system at that time. Both of which was the best changes I could have made. My house regulator failed two days ago and I called Richard this past Monday (memorial day) even though it’s almost a year since I’ve seen him and even though he was away on vacation he still answered my phone call. He told me he was starting a large job the next day but he would find the time to come by. He came over and even though it was at the end of the day, when he was obviously tired and the replacement part that that he picked up that morning, new in the box when he installed it was defective he still took the time to return it to his supplier some twenty minutes away and returned with the replacement part and installed it just to keep me from being inconvenienced. He is honest, diligent and talented. There’s no one like him, I highly recommend him. G. Schmidt."

"When I first called for a quote, Patrick went out of his way to come by that day and look at the problem and give his opinion and quote. He recommended a sump pump and he and his crew arrived on time on the day scheduled, explained in detail what they would be doing, and got right to work. They did the install, moved things back into place and cleaned up all in just a few hours. I was very happy with their work and obvious knowledge and explanations. Patrick was also kind enough to give me some valuable advice on another job I was having done by another company that improved that outcome. The cost was right in line with the other quotes I had received and I felt a good value for the money. I highly recommend the Ulbrich Brothers."

"The replacement went fine. But I was told that they only had a price for a complete filter installation (this would entail a lot of plumbing connection from the source to the water tank), no price for only a filter replacement. The installation went quickly because he only replaced the filter unit. I think that I paid about $400 for 1/2 hour of labor.



UPDATE 2-19-2016



I have already submitted a review and want to add to it. The tech charged $600+. After the work was done the owner called me and gave me a $250 refund because his price list only had a price for a full installation of a water filter system."

Sump Pump Installation questions, answered by experts

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.

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. 

Costs depend on pump type, labor rates, and the extent of repairs or installation needs.

A sump pump can be plugged into a regular, 110-volt outlet with three-prong openings, but it must have GFCI protections per the NEC, meaning you’ll need a GFCI outlet and circuit. Sump pumps require two outlet openings, one for the plug to the motor and one for the float switch.

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.
