"Hildebrant's Plumbing was very quick to respond. The work was done quickly and priced very reasonably. The individuals we spoke with and who did the work were very professional. It was a small job, but I think I have found my plumber."
"A little high priced for a toilet repair. The stopper was not fitting on the seal when you flushed causing it to run constantly. $395 was a pretty high in my opinion for a $20 toilet kit. We should have done that ourselves. Water Heater did have problems and we were happy to get a new one and have installed. There again, paid a high price for water heater."
"The guys arrived on time & worked solidly till the work was done. They layed down floor covers case it was wet & nasty outside..I appreciate that. Rafael was the lead installer & he seemed to really know his business. The helper was very quiet & informative when asked a question. All my questions were answered & work done in a timely manner. I had hot water in 1 hr after they had left. Rafael explained everything about the new water heater to me & was very patient. I have no complaints whatsoever with the installation.
I do believe the cost of the heater was very high, but that inflation I guess. That’s my only complaint. Nothing to do with the installers. I do look forward to hopefully 15 yrs at least from this heater."
"The plumber, AJ, was professional and courteous. Brenda, customer service professional, was nice, understanding and patient. An honest operation. The installation was a success at a fair price. Also gave me a military discount. Will use their services again."

"We had a system installed earlier this year and it went well. The consultation and installation and everything went very well. Their price is actually very good."
"Lone Star did a great job on installing new water faucets outside. Price was good, they were very professional. However, I gave them a C rating because I called for an estimate on another job. They came out and were going to email me the estimate. After almost a week, I called and was told they hadn't gotten to it yet. I have never heard from them. I wasted time waiting for their bid, thinking that if it was reasonable, I would go with them since hey did a good job on the faucets. I will not call them again for anything. "
"Richard did a fantastic job! He made sure everything was completed within a reasonable time frame & worked very ho*** ** connecting the plumbing from downstairs to upstairs. We will definitely recommend him for anyone needing plumbing work."
"Arrived on time. Quickly performed an assessment of our sprinkler system. Fixed a minor leak in one of the sprinkler heads. They were very friendly and efficient."
Yes, a well-maintained sump pump can increase a home's value and make it more desirable to potential buyers; it does not lower property value. By protecting the basement from flooding and water damage, a sump pump provides peace of mind and can make the space usable for storage or as an extra room. For buyers interested in homes with basements, a working sump pump is a significant feature that adds value by ensuring the space is secure and less likely to flood.
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.
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.
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.
Several indicators suggest it's time for a sump pump replacement. A key factor is age; if the pump is over 10 years old, its lifespan is likely ending. Performance issues are also clear signs, such as the pump running constantly, cycling on and off frequently, making unusual noises or vibrations, or failing to function at all. A faulty or burnt-out motor is another definite sign a replacement is needed. Additionally, if you notice any signs of incorrect installation, the pump should be replaced. For a definitive diagnosis, a vetted plumber can assess the pump and confirm whether a replacement is necessary.
