"The pvc pipe disconnected from under my kitchen sink. Bill called me within 2 hours of me trying to find a handyman and came right out. He fixed my sink right away. Great service and did not over charge. Thank you Bill ! Also sorry about our dog. She is not a happy camper having to be in her kennel when there is company, but you did very well about her. Thank you again! Shannon & George"
"Highly recommend this company. They installed a French drain and sump pump. The crew was great and they got the job done very fast and explained the process as the job progressed. Thanks"
"All the guys who came to dig up my basement and input the Sump Pump did a great job and were very nice and professional. I know for a fact that I could not find a better company than Ark!"
"They did a great install. Dylan, our installer, worked his butt off to get the work done to our satisfaction. We are very pleased with the new sump pump/well that was installed and look forward to many years of worry free operation!Highly recommend!"
"Josh (Bartolotta Contracting) did a great job. I have an old house which can and does bring challenges. I appreciate that he did the job in a timely matter, but made sure it was done right and to code. He was quick to respond, even over a holiday weekend. He is very nice and very professional and he showed up on time. I definitely recommend them and will hire them again."
"Hired Bracken to do an interior French drain and a sump pump for a house I am selling. My buyers had requested this install before we could close on the house. Danny came out quickly to look at the project and was able to give me a reasonable quote on the spot. After my buyers dragged their feet for 2 weeks trying to decide if they wanted to take a credit they returned to the original plan of having the install completed before we could close on the house. I reached back out to Danny and he was able to rearrange the schedule to get his team out to get the work done less than a week after contact. I couldn’t be happier with the service and the final product is very professional looking and should last a long time for my buyers. I am now able to sell the house without extending the closing date again and I’m thrilled about that. I will be using this company again for any similar projects and would recommend others do the same. Thank you Bracken Waterproofing!"
"The guys that came and did the actual work were very nice and did a great job . The problem was the management from Bill and down to Travis , my basement has a toilet that could not be moved .. well by the floor being jackhammered damaged the toilet it now leaking because of hairline cracks at the base , after contacting Travis and sending pictures to him their response was we will send you $100 and you can buy a new toilet ! When Bill bid the job he made sure to tell me about how they are insured up to 2 million dollars Thst $100 dollars doesnâ t really buy a toilet and then the cost of getting someone to install it will be hundreds more for that reason of them not wanting to take care of what they damaged I would not recommend ABC to anyone they got their money snd could have cared less about my issue !! Poor communication with this company and also the broom swept my basement I sm still trying to clean up the mess and it has been 2 weeks very disappointed ! I guess I should say buyer beware !!"
Sump Pump Installation questions, answered by experts
Yes, many providers offer warranties for new pumps and labor. Confirm terms before scheduling.
Inspect the pump annually, test the float switch, and clean the discharge line to ensure efficient operation.
One common reason a sump pump stops working is improper sizing. Different locations need different sizes and power ratings of sump pumps depending on the typical amount of water the pump needs to manage. If your sump pump is too small for the quantity of water, it can overwork and either burn out or reduce the life of the unit. If the pump is too big, it can overwork and burn out early.
A sump pump battery backup can typically run for 6 to 24 hours. The factors that affect its runtime include the battery capacity and pump usage.
When purchasing your backup system, take these factors into consideration to determine which system is best for your home. If you live in an area with frequent and long-lasting power outages, consider a longer-lasting backup battery.
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.
