"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."

"Staydry Waterproofing did a fantastic job installing exterior foundation drains at my home. The crew, led by Vic, was great — professional, friendly, and efficient. Vic made sure everything was done right and explained the process clearly. The job was finished on time, and I’m very happy with the results. Highly recommend!"

Foundation Drain Installation questions, answered by experts

DIY is possible for small systems like French drains. Professional installation ensures proper grading and long-term effectiveness.

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.

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.

Some sump pumps are powered by water rather than electricity. Water-powered sump pumps generally use one gallon of city water to pump out two gallons of water from its basin. Therefore, if you're looking at a potential 10,000-gallon flood, your sump pump will need to use 5,000 gallons of city water to prevent it.

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.
