Best sump pump installation pros near Camden, SC

"Our house was built in 1948 and a large addition was added in 1962. Following a garden wedding at our home the bathrooms at the rear of the house would not drain properly. Andrew of Hill Plumbing arrived and attempted to find the clean out. There was none. He attempted to snake out the drains but there were obstructions. He brought in a video camera on the end of a snake and found the problems. He installed a new clean out and provided some options to permanently repair the problems caused by the 1962 addition and age of the plumbing. Andrew worked harder and knew the answers to every issue better than any plumber I've ever encountered. It may have been more expensive than some others, but you get what you pay for and I was very satisfied with the work and experience. By the way, I called three other plumbers before Hill and either got put off for a week or was never answered.

"It went very well. Mike was very knowledgeable. He cleared the line and installed a valve that would keep the problem from occurring again. This was after another plumbing firm had given us an estimate for over $800 while Mike fixed the problem and made an improvement for $275. We highly recommend Servant Plumbing."

"Nate Sansbury removed an old hot water and installed a new one. He did a fantastic job."

"Half of my project was installing and burying a drainage line to pull water away from my home. Brandon, Sergio, and Terrence did an exceptional job! From the moment they arrived, until completion, they were very courteous and willing to explain any and all questions I had. They even installed and buried an additional drain line from my gutter downspout next to the drain line they were installing and connected it to the yardwell along with their drain line. I would definitely recommend Mount Valley based on the work and character of each of these guys. They reflect good on this company!"

"Cody arrived the same day I called for service. He repaired my well pump in just a few hours. Nice guy!"

On a Sunday afternoon I decided to fix a slow drip on the water pipe that feeds into the back of the toilet. The tube coming into the house from the outside was PVC and it was connected to a metal valve attached to the toilet. As I attempted to tighten the connection, the plastic pipe suddenly snapped causing an immediate flood into my bathroom! I ran outside and turned off the water before it did too much damage then proceeded to shopvac 25 gallons of water out of my bathroom floor.

I immediately called Tim Cook, owner of American Plumbing Company and he was at my house within the hour. He knew exactly what to do because I described the situation to him over the phone. He had already gone by Lowes on the way and got the part he needed to get me fixed up. He had the problem corrected in a matter of minutes. He told me to let the glue dry for about an hour before turning the water back on, which I did. After a while I turned the water on with no problems. Tim called me to check on me after I had turned the water on to make sure I had no problems.

Tim did a great job, was extremely punctual and charged me a fair price especially considering he had to come out at 4:00 on a Sunday afternoon. He also gets bonus points for calling back to check on me! Thanks Tim!

"Greg came out personally to do the estimate. He was extremely professional and informed us that the quote that he gave us was the firm price to do the entire job and there would be no hidden costs nor would the price go up. Upon receiving our quote, we booked the job about a couple weeks out. Greg came out with his crew on day one of the job and after a quick walk around, they got to work. Greg did not stay as he had other projects to attend to but his crew word quickly and efficiently. Greg stopped by throughout the job to see that everything was going okay. His crew was very professional and kept the work area clean and tidied up at the end of the day. The entire project took 5 1/2 days to complete and what a difference it has made to our house. They enclosed the crawl space with cement board that extended about 1 ft in the ground. When that was finished, they lined the crawl space with 20 mil plastic sheeting and used spray foam to seal the spots between the columns and the cement board. They built and installed 2 access doors so we could easily get into the crawl space if we needed to store anything or make repairs. They also had an electrician come out and install an outlet so they could install a dehumidifier to keep the crawl space nice and dry. Our A/C ducts run under our house and after the job was complete, I have noticed a big difference in the time that my A/C unit runs during the day. I am certain that my electric bill will be significantly lower now that the job is done. I enthusiastically highly recommend Greg and his crew to come out and do any crawl space work that you may need. I know they will beat almost every competitor's price and exceed your expectations as they did mine. A++"

"The lift works amazing. Jose did a great job in installing both lifts. He also cleaned it up well and hid the wires. I would highly recommend his services."

"We chose CrawlSpace Medic based on professionalism, reliability, reasonable cost estimate, and previous reviews on Angie’s List. Each day the crew showed up on time, worked hard all day, and cleaned up at end of each day; were respectful of property, and very professional, and pleasant to work with. They kept us informed of progress, and what was being done each day. During removal of old piping, they found additional damage behind the pipes that was not visible/identified during initial inspection- were very reasonable with determining the additional cost. They replaced damaged sills, old rotted floor joists, installed permanent support girders with masonry piers, installed a 10ml plastic vapor barrier, and installed multiple foundation vents. We are very satisfied with the results. Our floors are no longer bouncy, and floors feel very sturdy- was a dramatic difference after work completed. The 10 ml plastic Vapor barrier also has prevented that old damp smell inside the house after heavy rains. Was a good experience, and reasonable cost-(initial estimate $10,400, additional work required and we added foundation vent installation was $3800); would hire again."

"Our basement flooded 07-13-13 when we got a historic rainfall of 8.5" in 75 minutes.We were able to wet vac and dehumidify but wanted to eliminate our primary and battery back-up sump pumps, which had been unable to keep up with the in-flow. We felt we needed better drainage along the 60' level front driveway along the front of the house, and to install a large passive pipe from the basement sump room out into the downward-sloping back yard, about 4' lower than the sump pit. However this would be complicated due to a back-filled area between the sump room and the back yard. My husband contacted All-Dry approx 08-01-13 and they scheduled someone to visit on 08-15-13. Steve arrived on time and was professional, but said "We don't like passive drainage." They apparently have a very limited list of things they can offer: sump pumps, small (3") floor drains, plastic sheeting and dehumidifiers. We had seen about 150 gallons per minute roaring into our sump room during this storm and were traumatized yet determined never to have this happen again, even if we have another 100-year rainfall event and the electricity goes out. All Dry was unable to offer a suitable solution. Steve said they would quote the installation of the plastic sheeting if I would send them the sump room dimensions. My husband sent him the dimensions the same day but we never received a quote.
Thank goodness my husband is an engineer, as he was able to calculate the sizing and oversee installation of an NDS Dura=Slope drain channel along the driveway, and to arrange for a directional boring company to bore underground from the backyard into the sump room, where we installed a 6" PVC drain line at 4% down slope, capable of flowing over 600 gpm sans pumps."
