"We contacted Advantage Plumbing through Angie's List to get a quote on installing 3 new toilets, getting a leaky shower fixed and seeing if they could diagnose a noisy pipe problem. They were one of the few to respond and give us a quote and options and a time frame when work could be done. We scheduled a time and Mike came in within his quoted time and started work. After getting 2 toilets that we purchased installed, he found after he installed the 3rd that the toilet itself was faulty and leaking. Being in a bind, Mike was able to purchase a new toilet for us, verifying that it was good before purchase, and get it installed. He fixed our leaky shower and repaired our faucet(that we installed). He explained how the old leaking toilets was the cause of the noisy pipe problem and that we shouldn't have a problem any more. Later on we found that our kitchen faucet still had a leak. We contacted Mike and he came in and told us that the original install(by us non-professionals) was not done properly. When we originally installed the faucet we did not do a great job which is why, when he initially repaired it, it broke shortly after the repair. Mike installed a new faucet that we purchased and even offered to refund us part of the fee because it was not repaired properly the first time. A true professional, knowledgeable plumber. We would hire again without hesitation."

"I've had work done by their largest competitor as well. Groundworks was less expensive so I gave them a try. I had them install anchors in two retaining walls. I had an issue with one of the anchors and they made several visits to remedy it and followed-up repeatedly to schedule and coordinate timing. Top rate outfit, IMHO."

"Christian Weeks was knowledgeable and thorough. He was willing to explain processes and procedures if asked. He was not a “ I know everything” kind of person and was diligent in finding answers to questions about a moen faucet through reading the moen instructions. He was on time and performed his work correctly. After he installed the drains for 6 sinks, they all felt sturdy and secure"

"I left the gentleman's business card with my family as I was just visiting. For the service that was done, I think it was quite pricey, but he came in and and pulled the brass casing that I could not get out. I had already bought the replacement part, but could not get the original part out of the handle in the shower."

"Great job! They did a very professional, thorough upfront planning prior to installation. The installation team was very courteous. We were quite pleased with the system. They also offer other services, so it is nice to be able to use one company. We are having them do aerating and over-seeding next."

Sump Pump Installation questions, answered by experts

Most sump pumps come with power cords that can be plugged into an outlet, but there are options that can be hardwired into a home’s electrical system. Either way, it’s smart to have a backup power supply in case the electricity goes out during a storm. That way, the sump pump can keep running and removing water from the sump pit.

You shouldn’t shower while a sump pump isn’t working. Although household wastewater isn’t supposed to go into the sump pit, it’s best to wait to shower until your sump pump is running properly and able to move excess water out of the basement. If you need to shower when the sump pump isn’t working, aim for a short shower.

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.

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.

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.
