"Blake, Angel, & Aaron did a great job from start to finish. Blake did a great job of explaining the whole process with the pier installation. Clean up was great after job was completed. Would definitely recommend this company."
"The blockage was successful unstopped, but the oil and grease was left all over my driveway and my flowerbeds were a mess. It was way too expensive for a mess to be made of this magnitude. It was nearly 400.00 dollars for less than 30 minutes work. I was left to clean up the mess. This just wasn’t right."
"Installation was great. The service guys were excellent. The salesperson left out a few important details such as the discounts we were able to eventually get and the communication between the service guys and the salesperson was lacking."
"I met with Mike from Sarge Irrigation after have already spoken and received rough estimates from a couple other companies. After taking a little while to see what I had going on with the system our previous owner had installed, he told me that he could not give me an estimate because there was a lot of diagnostic work that would need to be done to determine which parts of our system were salvageable and which parts needed to be replaced. He did, however, point out a few immediate things that he noticed and explained that there could be more than one cause for each of the problems - thus different prices. The other companies that had come out had done a quick walk around, a 5 minute cycle through the sprinkler zones, and then quoted me two vastly different prices for the work I wanted and needed. I appreciated his honestly, and I agreed to pay for a day of labor and whatever parts to bring our current system up to working condition. At the end of the day we would regroup and determine if I wanted to move forward with installing the Drip Irrigation based on whether he found that it could link into the existing zones or would have to have a new zone added. The previous owner had installed the system himself - using pipes that were not the right sizes and mixing and matching rotors and pop-ups in the same zones, so it wasn't clear if there would be enough pressure to get everything working the way we needed without replacing pipes. Throughout the process Mike was honest, forthright, working hard, and obviously dedicated to making sure things were done right. I felt very comfortable moving forward with the Drip Irrigation, and he installed that excellently as well. His prices were straight-forward and he warned me in advance of potential problems he might come across. Ultimately he completed all the work I asked for, at a much higher level of quality that the other companies (who hadn't even noticed a zone on the side of the house that had become overgrown), and the total cost was about the same as the lowest quote I had received from the other companies. I will be calling Mike again, and again, and again!"
"It went really well, better than expected. Mr. King was great to work with as he provided me several options for water proofing (for the future) and he installed a sump pump which is what I needed as the first step. He was on time, cleaned up after the job was done (and during) and wanted to make sure we were very happy with his work. I waited to do a review because I wanted to see how the sump pump worked after rain. We have had a couple of good rain events since it was installed and we heard it working and doing its job. The unit is a little loud, but knowing it is working and moving the water out of the crawlspace is all that matters to me."
"George presented us with different filtration system. We went with Green Water Filtration System and at an affordable price without a big hole in the wallet. Installation was done smoothly within a week."
"Gary was very patient with us picking out or tile and floor and questions. He got back with us quick with the answers. Enrique did the work and was very nice also and did great work. Retextured the ceiling, installed floor and also tiled the new shower and installed cabinets, new toilet and shower doors. Also kept the house clean when they were working. I recommend them for all of that."
"Jeremiah did an awesome job removing our old water heater and installing a new tankless water heater. He went above and beyond as he also helped to fix a sink leaking issue. We will definitely use his services again and have already recommended to family as friends."
Sump Pump Installation questions, answered by experts
To maintain your sump pump, start by checking it every three to four months to ensure it’s in working order. Clear any debris from the pit because blockages can prevent the pump from operating efficiently. You should also test the pump by pouring a bucket of water into the pit. If it turns on automatically and drains the water, it’s functioning correctly. Inspect the discharge line for clogs, and ensure it directs water away from your home. Once a year, clean the pump itself, and consider having it professionally serviced for optimal performance.
Most sump pumps come with power cords that can be plugged into an outlet, but there are options that can be hardwired into a home’s electrical system. Either way, it’s smart to have a backup power supply in case the electricity goes out during a storm. That way, the sump pump can keep running and removing water from the sump pit.
Sump pump repairs are typically handled by plumbers or waterproofing specialists who are experienced in handling basement and foundation-related issues. Plumbers can address issues like clogs, electrical problems, and mechanical failures, and waterproofing professionals may be ideal if the sump pump is part of a larger drainage or waterproofing system.
Some people may also call on a general handyperson for minor sump pump repairs. However, for complex problems, hiring a certified plumber or waterproofing expert ensures the work is done correctly and prevents further issues.
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.
To test for toilet leaks, use water coloring in the water tank and see if the water slips into the bowl from the tank. This test will indicate if there’s a problem with the flapper or refill tube. You can also put water coloring in the bowl of the toilet to see if there is a leak there. If there is, you should see the colored water on the outside of the toilet bowl or on the floor.
