"James was able to come out in about an hour to clear my drain. He is a very nice gentleman and did a great job at a lower price than I paid for the same job 10 years ago. I will definitely call him if I need a plumber in the future and I would highly recommend him to anyone."

Customers say: Super punctual

"I did a significant master bath remodel myself and chose to have the plumbing work done professionally. I've used Jack L Wood before on small jobs, and calling again turned out to be the smartest thing I did on this project. They assigned Jim who often does the remodels and he and I hit it off great. First in the demo phase, he helped remove a box tub that needed to have the drain lines moved, vent pipes relocated into the wall and the feed lines capped off in preparation for what was yet to come. He got everything squared away for me and I went to work on demolition. Several weeks later it was time to start setting the new lines for a clawfoot tub I'd bought, plus I needed to have all 4 of the sink lines and the drains moved to accommodate the cabinets we'd ordered. Unlike a regular tub where everything's hidden and can be routed any which-way, a footed tub requires the drain and feed lines to be in precisely the right place and Jim came back and set the piping and drain beautifully. Then I got the subfloor back on, finished the sheetrock walls and installed the new flooring. He came back a third time to set the tub which is complicated and it came out spectacular. The cabinets were in so he installed new ball valves which replaced the crappy old feed valves, ready for me to hook up the faucets. Jim's mantra is to do everything perfectly and we ended up with a fantastic new master bath, and I know that all of the guts you can't see are built to last. So Woods plumbing came out at three key times helping me in my bathroom remodel and the quality of work was excellent."

"Xcellent came out and installed the new drains for our downspouts and sump pump. They cleaned up the yard and removed all the flags marking different systems that are in the yard. They are a very professional company and the prices were very reasonable!"

"They came out quickly and got the job done. I needed a new piece for the drain. They contacted Kohler for me to be sure the correct thing was ordered. The price was better than I'd paid plumbers who have come our previously."

"The work that was provided was performed promptly and the crew leader was responsible and offered some extra interior drain lines due to the fact that the crawl space was extremely open making it very easy to do their work. They did the extra exterior drain line installation per the contract footage pricing to take the sump line to the street curb. very quickly and appearing to be quite well done. The testing of the sump action when they added water to the interior sump pit showed a quick deposit of water into the street. However, I am still seeing evidence of water in the CMU surfaces above elevation of the new interior drain line that was installed. I assume this to indicate that something should have been done at the wall exterior to take water away from the foundation (probably the J-channel installation)."

Foundation Drain 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 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.

French drains and yard grading systems are two highly effective ways to fix standing water around the foundation. Since the French drain uses a perforated pipe covered by gravel, you won’t have to worry about water taking the soil away from your foundation. Meanwhile, yard grading levels out the ground to prevent water from gathering around your foundation.

Installing a sump pump takes a bit of know-how, but it is possible to do it yourself. You’ll need to familiarize yourself with details like where sump pump water goes to avoid creating new flooding risks. If you’re doing the work yourself, it’s recommended to bring in a pro for a quick inspection afterward so you can be sure your home is protected from any water damage concerns.

Statistics show that 98% of basements will experience some form of water damage over time. However, that doesn’t mean all basements will experience severe flooding. The best way to prevent a water-damaged basement is to keep up with home maintenance and have proper drainage installed outside your home to direct water away from the foundation. You can also consider building a flood wall around the house if you live in a flood-prone area.

If you hire a professional, installing a new sewage ejector pump costs $850 to $3,500, or an average of $2,300. Otherwise, if you handle the installation yourself, you can expect to pay $500 to $1,000 for the sewage ejector pump, permits, and other supplies required for this DIY project.
