"Mike was able to get everything accomplished very efficiently and well. He arrived within the expected time window. Replaced toilet seat at no charge. Gave us clear estimates on additional work. As always, so very satisfied with Mike and Servant Plumbing. Know that repair people from Servant are experienced and competent. Find cost of installations for all work, not just Servant, is more than we would expect, but that's where skill and experience factor in. Did not get multiple estimates because we have had such a positive experience with their work in the past."

"Nate came out at the scheduled time and immediately went to work fixing my outdoor spigot/faucet. He was very professional and appears to be very skilled at plumbing. He also checked and adjusted my water pressure before he left which I appreciated and he took the time to address additional concerns that I did not originally call him out for. Professional, skilled, and thorough. I will be calling on GatorFlow/ Nate in the near future! Thank you Angi for the great referral and thank you Nate for a job well done."

"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!"

"The job was done professionally with them managing the work time, so our manufactured home would be completely, as the stairs and skirt needed to be done shortly after their work was done. We reviewed other businesses and found the requested funds were way lower than anyone else. We found nothing that was concerning."

"We bought an older home, built in 1955, which needed a lot of plumbing work done: replace and repair old drain lines, install a commode, remove an old expansion tank in the crawlspace, new waterline for the toilet, install a new water heater, etc. They did an excellent job making repairs and trouble-shooting problems that we were having with our plumbing. They are knowledgeable, great with customer service, arrive on time and follow through until the job is done. I would hire them again without hesitation."

"We were disappointed to learn that the home we recently purchased had major mold issues in our crawlspace. We learned after several estimates that the crawlspace issue had not been properly addressed, after we noticed significant moldy, musty odors in our bathroom.
An inspection of the crawlspace revealed the need for immediate mold remediation and repair of our space. We contacted and received estimates from four crawlspace companies, and were far and away impressed the most with Crawl Space Doctor, which now has an office/operation in Charlotte (their address still shows as Savannah, GA).
The owner of the company, Greg McBride visited our home, explained their services, and gave us a very competitive estimate for the work. In addition the materials he offered were of higher quality with being priced at either the same or slightly lower price than all other estimates.
Greg also offers a world-class guarantee, and offers an annual recheck of the work at no cost; he also made a minor repair of the crawlspace dehumidifier at no cost to us.
Greg's crew arrived on time, along with Greg, who regularly returned to check in on the work and his crew's progress. His gentlemen worked extra hours, and did a world-class job throughout the job.  Greg periodically checked in with us, to explain the job status/progress, and answered all our questions.  He obviously knows his business, and also joined with his crew in the crawlspace periodically, to check on the work and their progress.
We researched our options carefully, received 4 estimates from leading companies. Greg and Crawl Space Doctor were far and away the most impressive.
We enthusiastically recommend Crawl Space Doctor should you need work in your crawlspace.

Sump Pump Installation FAQs, answered by experts

First, you can try unplugging the two sump pump cords, one for the motor and one for the float switch, then plugging them back in to reset the sump pump. You can also reset the sump pump by turning it off and back on at the breaker. Many sump pumps have a reset button, which you can press and hold for a few seconds to reset the device.

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.

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.

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.

Yes, it’s normal (and beneficial) to have a small amount of water in the bottom of your sump pit. It shows that your system is collecting groundwater, rain, and excess water from around your property—just like it’s supposed to. However, if the sump pit is always full, you might have a leak or a faulty sump pump.
