"The plumbers who arrived on time quickly determined I had an electrical problem, not a sump pump problem. They found a temporary solution to bring power to my sump pump to keep my basement from being a swimming pool while I go looking for an electrician. I've saved Keefe Plumbing and Heating's number in my phone and will certainly call them again."

"AFS did a great job for us, we had old insulation removed, a drainage system and pump installed, and a crawlspace encapsulation done. John Brandon did the inspection and he did a good job explaining everything and going back and forth with pricing for everything. The crew was Earle Gamble and Noah Cruz and they did a great job, cleaned everything up, and had it all done in 3 days. Would highly recommend!"

"We were having problems with our toilets, and kitchen faucet. So we called Anchormark plumbing, and spoke with Anthony Traylor. He came out promptly and repaired our toilets and replaced our kitchen faucet. Later after remolding our half bath, Anthony came back out and put in all new hardware. Anthony was very professional, reliable, and friendly. I was very pleased with his work. I highly recommend Anchormark Plumbing"

"Donna and Jeff (owners) were hands on supervisors. They both patiently answered lots of questions and provided recommendations and resources out of their scope of business.  I felt confident that Jeff and Donna knew their business well and that my best interests were being well served.  I feel confident that they will respond quickly to any questions that I may have in the future regarding this project.  I would recommend them without any reservation.  I felt like I was fairly treated and charged a fair price for their services and the system installed.  Stated scheduled was maintained with proposed start and completion dates.

"Shane is amazing. This is the only company I contacted who recommended trying to unclog my septic lines first instead of just jumping into digging up my tank to charge me more. He came out when I asked amd unclogged the lines on the house I just bought. I will definitely be using him again in a few months to pump my tank since im not sure when it was last done. Very honest and professional!"

Sump Pump Installation questions, answered by experts

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.

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 drain wastewater and solid waste into the municipal sewer system or a septic tank. For fixtures below this level, like those in a basement, gravity cannot move the waste upward. The ejector pump provides the force needed to pump the sewage up to the main line. Without one, wastewater from below-ground fixtures would back up, potentially causing a sewage overflow and flooding. If all of your plumbing is on the main floor or higher, gravity is sufficient and an ejector pump is not needed.

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.

Every three to four months, you should clean any dirt and debris off of your sump pump. You should also check the inlet screen (at the bottom of the pump) to make sure that it isn’t blocked. On top of that, you should deep clean your sump pump once per year—or hire a sump pump pro to do it for you.

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