"Our sump pump failed, and the whole basement flooded. Robert was prompt, and replaced the sump pump along with a battery backup. He is professional, honest, friendly, and reasonably priced. He answered all our questions, and made recommendations for our situation. I was very happy with his service, and will definitely call him for my future needs!"

"The company was able to give us an appointment the same day we desperately needed our sump pump replaced. I was surprised at how quick they could help us. The ladies I spoke with to set up the appointment were very friendly and kind. The tech that arrived was timely and very helpful. He removed our old sump pump and replaced it with a new one. The only reason I am rating them a B instead of an A is because we could not believe how high the cost was for this project. We were not expecting to spend this amount especially just before the holidays. We truly believe the cost was over the top. With that being said, we are satisfied with the work performed and the quality of this company's customer service. We just strongly recommend anyone needing Sump Pump services to make sure you get multiple quotes if at all possible."

"Sam Childress showed up at the time we agreed upon. He is completely polite, professional, courteous, friendly, and he knows his business! Every time he went outside to his truck, he put on a fresh pair of 'booties' over his shoes to, as he put it, maintain professionalism! (It was sunny and dry today, too!) He examined the entire furnace hook-up, also the water heater (they are right next to each other). Turns out the furnace was installed without the correct parts, and the trap that needs to be cleaned as part of the maintenance is glued on, so it can't be cleaned! He's getting the correct parts and fixing that for me later this week. The parts are not part of the tune-up charge. He cleaned up everything, didn't really make any kind of a mess. He pointed out that the water heater is leaking, explained that where the leaking water touches the unit it's causing rust. He also cleaned off the water heater as we spoke.
Sam made me feel very confident that he knew what he was doing, and that he was interested in giving me great service for a great price. I appreciated his explanation of what he was doing, why the furnace was hooked up wrong and needed different parts, and his information on water heaters. I have found my go-to company for HVAC! I'm very happy with Sam and his work, and I highly recommend him to everyone getting ready for winter, and beyond!

"We were really impressed by and grateful for how comprehensive the inspection was and how helpful his explanations were. He took multiple pictures and generated an elevation diagram. He did a great job explaining why the current sump pump was insufficient and what improvements should be made. He also walked around the exterior of the house to inspect it for any signs of foundation issues, and he spotted a tiny crack in the brick that was hard to see--that's how thorough he was!  He explained what we should be concerned about and what was due to normal aging.

When he finished his inspection, he set up a mobile office with a laptop and printer on the kitchen counter.  He was able to complete the report on the spot and provided the hard copy of his report before he left.

He was punctual, thorough, polite, and trustworthy.  We feel confident moving forward with the home purchase, and we would definitely hire him and The Basement Doctor to perform any of the suggested upgrades.  "

Sump Pump Installation questions, answered by experts

A sump pump should be placed at least three feet deep in a pit. The rim of the sump pump basin should be level with your basement floor. If you find your pit is too deep, you can fill the bottom with gravel until the rim of the sump pump is flush with the floor.

The cost to repair a sump pump ranges from $400 to $550, depending on the extent of the repair and your location. Minor repairs, like fixing a switch or replacing a float, can cost just a few hundred dollars. However, more significant issues, such as motor replacement or addressing electrical problems, may cost closer to $550. Keep in mind that regular maintenance can help prevent costly repairs, and if a sump pump is beyond repair, a full system replacement ranges between $650 and $1,400.

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.

To test for toilet leaks, use water coloring in the water tank and see if the water slips into the bowl from the tank. This test will indicate if there’s a problem with the flapper or refill tube. You can also put water coloring in the bowl of the toilet to see if there is a leak there. If there is, you should see the colored water on the outside of the toilet bowl or on the floor. 

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.
