"The men were thorough and efficient. The materials were high quality. The job was carried out fast, no corners were cut. My main complaint is that they had to install a dehumidifier or the encapsulation wouldn't work. It runs 24 hours a day which impacts our electric bill."

"My downstair's airconditioning unit stopped worked.  I called another company that I had used before.  They took several days to come to the house.  They inspected the system and said I needed a new evaporator coil for the unit.  He also said my unit was 3 pounds low on freon, which he could replace at  $89 per pound.  But he said I would lose it when they replaced the coil since it couldn't be saved.  I thought I needed another opinion so I told him I would think about it and let him know.  In the meantime he called his office to ask them to give me an estimate on the cost of the coil.  I then called Tuck & Howell.  The tech came out that same afternoon.  He checked the whole system and agreed the problem was the evaporator coil.  He gave me a couple of options but I decided to go ahead and replace it.  He called his office for an estimate, which I got within the hour.  I arranged for him to install the unit two days later, which he did. He also checked the freon and said it was about 2 pounds low, which he could replace at $39 for the first pound and $15 a pound therafter (opposed to $89 per pound the other company charged).  He said he could save it when he replaced the evaporator coil so it wouldn't be wasted.  That allowed me to restart the airconditioning unit that same day to cool down my house that day.    He was on time for the appointment, had everything he needed with him, completed the job efficiently, professionally and quickly.  Once the unit was installed he cleaned up after himself and took away the mess.  The unit is working fine.  I have no complaints.  About two weeks later, the first company called be back with an estimate which was $200 more than Tuck & Howell had charged.  I told them to forget it.  I had used them several times before but will not again.  I highly recommend Tuck & Howell."

"All Dry of the Carolinas has provided a quote to do a french drain system around the front yard and replacing a sump pump that was installed by another company with one that is not a box store pump, but a super sump. They have also provided me with a warranty and clean outs will be installed in order to flush the system once a year. I have a quote for encapsulation as well. But that work will have to wait until I have a joist replaced."

Sump Pump Installation questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

The difference between an ejector pump and a sump pump lies in their purpose and design—an ejector pump functions to remove liquid gray water and soft solid sewage waste from your home. If you have a laundry room or bathroom in your basement, an ejector pump for your sewage tank prevents sewage from backing up in your washing machine or bathroom’s drains.

A sump pump is designed to remove excess groundwater that may enter your home, either due to flooding or periods of heavy rain.

Repairs typically take 1-2 hours, while replacements, depending on accessibility, may require up to 4 hours.

A sump pump's lifespan is typically 7 to 10 years, though the general range can be anywhere from 5 to 15 years. The specific type of pump is a major factor: pedestal sump pumps last an average of 20 to 25 years, whereas submersible sump pumps last between 5 and 15 years. While pedestal pumps are less expensive to service, they are also louder and more prone to clogging.

Several other factors influence longevity, including the pump's quality, usage frequency, and maintenance schedule. A high-quality pump that is well-maintained in a dry climate may last for two decades, while a lower-quality, poorly maintained pump in an area with a high water table or frequent flooding may fail in six years or less.

Regular maintenance, including annual inspections and tuneups from a professional, can significantly extend the pump's life. It is time to consider a replacement if your sump pump runs constantly, cycles frequently, shows visible rust or corrosion, or trips a circuit breaker. As a preventative measure, many homeowners replace their pumps every eight years. It's also worth noting that a manufacturer's warranty can indicate expected lifespan, and some home insurance policies may not cover water damage from a pump that is past its recommended replacement date.
