"They did a great job but when I would not spend 13,000 to do drain tile on top of the sub-pump they would not return my call to finish repairing two more cracks."

"I had a bathroom toilet not flushing properly. T-Mark personnel was able to come out within a couple of days. Turned out after very brief inspection of the plumber that the sewer drain outside was partially blocked. Very quick and very professional job done to clear the blockage using all the right tools. Took almost 1 1/2 hours and the price agreed upon ahead of time was reasonable. Everything works again normally. I am a very happy customer."

"Superior Plumbing is SUPERIOR! I called the day after New Year's needing sump pump drain repair because of water seepage in the basement. Dean sent out a technician, Angel, who immediately diagnosed the problem and quoted a very reasonable price (not cheap - reasonable). Angel and Eli came the next day on time and installed new drain tiles in the corner of the basement and snaked out the tiles to the sump pump. They had to break and replace concrete and did a beautiful job and cleaned up everything. They will be my Go-To Plumbers from now on."

"

About 6 men did the work. They were very organized. They covered the path from the door to the basement where the inside work was done. They were polite, professional. The foreman kept us abreast of progress. He did took seriously questions that my wife and I had. He did not talk down to my wife. They moved and covered up everything in the basement with plastic. I had moved a lot of  stuff out ahead of time. They dug about a one foot wide trench along the inside  perimeter of the basement, installed drain pipe and re-cemented with several vents. The pipe runs to the new sump pump. They did repairs and drainage on the outside perimeter as well. Everything was hooked up to pre-existing storm drains. The work took three days.

My only mild complaint is that the utility sink in the basement pitches slightly forward, and so it does not drain as completely as it should. I did not ask them to fix it.

We had this done in response to water in the basement. We did not have a sump pump prior to this and had 9 inches of water in the basement last February. We have not had much rain, and so I cannot verify that all is OK, but it seems to be at this point.

Clay drain tile removal.  FACT: With WNY being an older development in most areas, clay drain tile was used in the basements to lower the water table.  Over time, clay deteriorates which leaves you with cracked, broken and defective drain tile.  This leads to water backing up into your basement causing mold, mildew & damage to your foundation.

"Tim the plumber on the job was on time and very professional.  He looked at the problem (roots blocking the storm drain) and spent several hours drilling out a clear waterway to the main line in the street.  He indicated that a more thorough cleaning through power blasting would be necessary to get it running through a larger opening and that the roots of the tree in the front of the house may have disrupted the clay pipes.  We scheduled the power cleaning for the following week.  He offered discounts with the purchase of a protection plan which reduces the service call charges and provides additional discounts on work in the future and since I just bought the house and know I have more jobs that will need to be done in the next year I took advantage of the deal.

Foundation Drain Installation questions, answered by experts

Several factors can impact the cost of waterproofing your basement. Some of the most common cost factors include:

  • Location

  • Square footage

  • Cause of the water leak

  • Type of foundation

  • Accessibility

  • Waterproofing method

  • Materials

  • Contractor experience and availability

  • Engineering reports, if needed

  • Structural and other repairs

  • Permits

The difference between an ejector pump and a sump pump lies in their purpose and design—an ejector pump functions to remove liquid gray water and soft solid sewage waste from your home. If you have a laundry room or bathroom in your basement, an ejector pump for your sewage tank prevents sewage from backing up in your washing machine or bathroom’s drains.

A sump pump is designed to remove excess groundwater that may enter your home, either due to flooding or periods of heavy rain.

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.

Signs include persistent dampness, mold or mildew presence, musty odors, and visible water stains. If any of these occur, it is advisable to contact a professional for an inspection.

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.
