"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!"

"Sam arrived on time. In preparation they placed drop clothes from the front door down the stairs and to the work site. They replaced our sump pump, explained how the new one works…..it has a battery backup in case of power outages. Very pleasant team, and excellent clean up both in the house and outside on the driveway."

"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

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.

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 move wastewater and solid waste to the municipal sewer or septic tank. However, for fixtures located below grade (e.g., in a basement), gravity is not sufficient.

The purpose of a sewage ejector pump is to actively pump this wastewater and solid waste upward into the main sewer line. Without an ejector pump in this situation, wastewater would have no way to exit and would eventually back up, causing a sewage overflow or flooding in your basement. If all of your home's plumbing is on the main floor or higher, gravity can handle the drainage, and an ejector pump is not needed.

Test regularly, clean the pump, and inspect the discharge line to ensure efficient operation.

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.

In most cases, standard homeowners insurance policies do not cover damage from a sump pump failure or overflow. Coverage for water damage is often limited to sudden, unexpected events like a burst pipe that was not caused by negligence. To be covered for sump pump issues, you will likely need to purchase a specific rider, endorsement, or additional water backup insurance. If your insurer offers this type of coverage, they may require proof that your sump pump is regularly maintained.
