We were promised calls back, but they never came. Eventually, we hired Watts Pool Service (who we found on Angies List). They came out and identified the leak, which was the result of poor workmanship on the sump drains. Again, we called and emailed Richards, repeatedly being told that we would receive a call back, but none came. Eventually, we ended up paying Watts to redo all of the sump drains. It costs us about $1,000 to repair the shoddy workmanship by Richards. I think that this company may have been good in the past, but there has been a dramatic change in management. I would avoid them. "},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/tx/houston/richard%27s-total-backyard-solutions-reviews-232033.htm"},"position":10}]}

"I recently purchased an older home and they replaced a 20+ year old Bradford White 50 gallon gas water heater with a brand new model. They came and assessed the unit, and told me what other improvements my set up needed to bring up to code. Their hassle free estimate was very fair. The installation was thorough and professional. Got the extended warranty just for my peace of mind."

"I purchased my first water softener and reverse osmosis water purifier 18 years ago when we first built our house. We loved both! But nothing lasts forever and both needed to be replaced. Luckily, I still had the paperwork from the original installation and I knew who to call. I received the same great service and attention as I had 18 years ago. Both the office staff and installers were extremely professional and courteous. The installers were very good about explaining everything…how the equipment worked and how to maintain it. A big plus for me, is they were very respectful of my property. They left everything clean and organized before leaving."

"recently called John Moore Services for what should have been a simple plumbing issue — a clogged bathroom sink connected to my air conditioner drain line. I reached out after seeing their TV commercial promoting clogged sink service for “about $69.” What I quickly discovered is that this advertised rate applies to an extremely narrow and unadvertised category of sinks that almost no real-world situation meets. My straightforward, less-than-20-minute fix was quoted at over $600 to snake. This is an outrageous markup for such a basic job. As a former small business owner, I find these tactics troubling. This is a textbook example of bait-and-switch advertising — grabbing attention with a low price, then upselling with inflated charges once the customer is committed. Practices like this harm consumers and tarnish the reputation of the many honest, hardworking service providers in our community. Shame on you, John Moore Services. My strong recommendation: Do Not Use."

Sump Pump Installation questions, answered by experts
You shouldn’t shower while a sump pump isn’t working. Although household wastewater isn’t supposed to go into the sump pit, it’s best to wait to shower until your sump pump is running properly and able to move excess water out of the basement. If you need to shower when the sump pump isn’t working, aim for a short shower.
Yes, many modern water pumps are designed with energy efficiency in mind. Look for pumps with high efficiency ratings or those with an Energy Star certification. These pumps consume less power and can reduce your utility bills. Additionally, variable-speed pumps are more efficient since they can adjust the flow based on demand, providing significant savings over time.
If you notice any new sump pump noises, such as persistent clanging or gurgling, then you likely have a sump pump problem on your hands. Foul odors coming from the pump can also indicate problems. Additionally, if your unit turns on but doesn't pump water, you might have to address electrical problems. In any of these cases, it's a good idea to hire a professional to address the issue.
Submersible and pedestal sump pumps are two popular types of sump pumps. Submersible models are covered by water in a sump pit, which helps keep the motor cooler and quieter. Pedestal sump pumps stick out of the sump pit, so the motor stays dry and is easier to access. Submersible sump pumps are the pricier option, but they also have longer life spans.
Yes, a sump pump is something that can make a home much more desirable because it protects against water damage. Adding a sump pump can also allow you to add more livable space by making your basement usable. When selling a home, your buyers may have more peace of mind about the property's condition if they see that a sump pump is being used.
