"Everything went great! I just moved to a new house and have had a lot of contractors and companies come out to do work - Christian has been the best of them all! I needed a kitchen faucet replacement, Garbage disposal replacement, and a leak fixed in the downstairs bathroom. Christian did a great job with everything- he gave me options for how to fix the downstairs leak (patching it up, which would be less time/cheaper or making a new hole for the pipe so that it was done the correct way). I really appreciated him taking the time to educate me on the plumbing in my new home and being up front about the costs and effort for the repairs/installations. He is very professional, personable and has a wonderful attitude. He even came out and installed 2 new shower heads for me even though it was a very small job - i wanted to make sure i had not messed anything up when i installed one myself. Don't hesitate to call him you will not be disappointed - I will definitely be calling him in the future for any plumbing work!"

"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."

"With all this recent crappy weather I wanted my basement to stay dry! I called Epp foundation repair and when Sam and his crew arrived with a positive attitude and ready to work I knew it was going to be a good day! They installed a drain tile system along with a sump pump so I know my basement will stay dry! They stayed super clean almost like no one was there! They made sure all my questions were answered and made my day! I 100% would recommend to anyone that needs foundation repair or for my future needs!"

Sump Pump Installation questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

A small sump pump running infrequently uses an average of 10 kilowatt-hours (kWh) of electricity per month. The average cost for electricity is $0.171 per kWh. The size and use frequency affect how much electricity it uses. Sump pumps average one-third to one horsepower (hp) motors. One hp is equal to 745.7 watts. Watts multiplied by the time your pump is running divided by 1,000 equals your average kWh. Multiply kWh by your average cost of electricity. In areas with high rain or a marsh basin, the average cost can be as high as $15-$25 a month.

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 you’re wondering if your home even needs a sump pump, consider whether you’ve struggled with flooding issues in the past. If your house is in a flood-prone area, your yard has poor drainage, or you’ve dealt with any other water problems, then it’s likely well worth it to replace your old sump pump with a new one.
