"John stopped by last week to give us an estimate to install an outdoor water faucet off of the existing house plumbing. We accepted his price and set a time for installation the following week (today, 7-30-2019). The work was done in a timely professional installation. John is very personable, knowledgeable, and polite. I will keep him in mind for all of our plumbing work. Patric & Cindy Amarando"
"Eric from Vanguard was amazing to work with. My sewage grinder pump completely failed during the holidays. Not only did he text me within minutes of my submission, he came out the next morning, quickly assessed what could be done and replaced my pump the next business day. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and efficient with time. The cost, all in, was well below what I had feared I would need to pay. Additionally, he offered future-looking advice (without any obligation) on things to consider in the future. I recommend Vanguard Plumbing to anyone seeking a plumber who is honest, friendly, efficient, and cost effective."

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.
Yes, it’s normal (and beneficial) to have a small amount of water in the bottom of your sump pit. It shows that your system is collecting groundwater, rain, and excess water from around your property—just like it’s supposed to. However, if the sump pit is always full, you might have a leak or a faulty sump pump.
Submersible and pedestal sump pumps are two popular types of sump pumps. Submersible models are covered by water in a sump pit, which helps keep the motor cooler and quieter. Pedestal sump pumps stick out of the sump pit, so the motor stays dry and is easier to access. Submersible sump pumps are the pricier option, but they also have longer life spans.
If you notice any new sump pump noises, such as persistent clanging or gurgling, then you likely have a sump pump problem on your hands. Foul odors coming from the pump can also indicate problems. Additionally, if your unit turns on but doesn't pump water, you might have to address electrical problems. In any of these cases, it's a good idea to hire a professional to address the issue.
First, you can try unplugging the two sump pump cords, one for the motor and one for the float switch, then plugging them back in to reset the sump pump. You can also reset the sump pump by turning it off and back on at the breaker. Many sump pumps have a reset button, which you can press and hold for a few seconds to reset the device.
