"Chris ‘s work was exceptional. He was the hardest working, with results far exceeding my expectations. He takes out all of loose rocks/etc and smoothed out ground after vapor barrier removed. He also installed a catch basin and sump pump in low point. Tested all. I was impressed enough that I gave him additional work to quote."

"Exceptionally well. I am very pleased with the foundation repair, installation of a heavy-duty sump-pump with external drainage, heavy plastic gauge plastic covering the crawl space floor, and the full replacement of my crawl space insulation. The DryPro team from estimate and pictures to completion of the projects were all very efficient and very Professional. Cost was reasonable. Yes, I would hire them again."

"I first had another service company from Charlotte that I contacted. We can be there at 4 today. Great. No show others issues. Tuesday 2-4 great shows at 3:30. All I needed was pump station pumped out and replace effulent pump no digging needed. Pumped one side said would have to dig up other side , bring in equipment , septic line may need camera etc etc could be up to $5000 could be here at 9 the next day. Get call that night that I need to pay at least half of money before they could proceed. Told them not our deal, their guy wasn't sure. Never showed by 10;30, called them and told them to forget it. Another local company argued with me as to what I had, lived her 20 years, told him I would send pictures, never responded. Got on home advisers and had 3 contacts. first called right away. Told the issues, they would need to come look but that would be $150 cost but if they got the job would knock it off the price. Told them I would send pictures, nope need to pay first then come LOOK. NOPE. Then Mark from Clearwater Septic and Pumping called, told him the issues, told me he would be there the next morning between 11-12. He texted when he was on his way. arrived , pouring down rain, showed him the pump tank, we discussed prices, wanted to pump out, pull old pump and make sure we got the right size, gave me their price to replace pump and away we went, all in the pouring down rain. Told him we didn't have to finish today, maybe next day would be ok, no back ups or any issues, could wait. He said I told you we would get it done today and we will. they pumped both sides, pulled pump, went and got the new pump. installed the new pump, all in the pouring rain, never complained, knew what needed to be done and he did it. very professional and NEVER spilled a drop of waste on the driveway or yard like the first company from Charlotte did that I sent away. finished at 5;30, soaked ,cleaned up everything. This company came, gave me fair prices, did what I asked to have done and didn't try to hit me for any other charges or unnecessary work. VERY HAPPY with the end result. I'm pumping again:) Thanks Mark"

"Ned, MKB Plumber, did a fantastic job installing our laundry sink. He was on time and came back the next day to complete the project. The workmanship was top notch. We also liked that Ned wore his mask in our home. We will recommend MKB to our family and friends. I also interviewed 3 other plumbers. MKB was the best value overall. I like the way that they have trip charges and hourly rates. The other plumbers had set cost that could not be easily evaluated or justified."

Sump Pump Installation questions, answered by experts

Several indicators suggest it's time for a sump pump replacement. A key factor is age; if the pump is over 10 years old, its lifespan is likely ending. Performance issues are also clear signs, such as the pump running constantly, cycling on and off frequently, making unusual noises or vibrations, or failing to function at all. A faulty or burnt-out motor is another definite sign a replacement is needed. Additionally, if you notice any signs of incorrect installation, the pump should be replaced. For a definitive diagnosis, a vetted plumber can assess the pump and confirm whether a replacement is necessary.

If your water pump fails, the first step is to turn off the power to the pump to prevent any further damage. Check for common issues such as clogs, electrical problems, or mechanical failures. If you cannot identify the problem, contact a professional who specializes in pump repairs. Prompt action can help minimize damage and repair costs.

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.

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.

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.
