"My 20 plus yr old swamp cooler recently developed a leak in the pan that was unfixable. Finding companies that still deal with swamp cooler replacement is becoming more difficult in SLC area as homeowner march towards central air units. I still prefer the simplicity yet efficiency of them. Plus very cost effective to run. I received a reasonable estimate and picked Manwill. Due to a busy schedule the crew agreed to come by on a Saturday for the install, less than 2 weeks from date of estimate. The installation went quite smoothly and I had my new swamp cooler up and running within 4 hrs."
"Humprheys was subcontracted by another company that is working on my garage. First appointment had to be rescheduled due to me. Reschedule with no problems. Danny and James showed up on time and got the install done in one day. Work looks great, furnace performs as expected. I would hire them again next time I need work done."

"True pros is Amazing! They were on time and very knowledgeable. I would recommend them to anyone! To maryn who scheduled my appointment and Katy who sold it and dallin and Ethan who installed it, everyone was just awesome!"
"Getting them to come was the hardest part of the whole experience. The installer was very knowledgeable and did a great job. My only complaint that there was a disconnect of scheduling and timing the installer would be at our house for both the estimate and to install. Other than that it was great! Still waiting to see if everything works properly."
"Terry was excelled in customer service. He was honest and friendly and always on time. He explained the problem and came up with the best solution for me at the time. I will always call on Terry for my plumbing needs!"
"I called four people the same day. And he was the very best, forthright and honest. There is a gimmick that the competitors use that they will clean one drain for $30, but they won't give you a price for the entire job. He was terrific!"
"Instead of the previous Thursday appointment, I showed up on Monday.worked quickly and generally well. even redid some previous shoddy work from another source without extra charge. Handyman, the subcontractor, is delaying completion and costing twice as much as the original estimate. Friendly and clean, except for plumbers crack exposure. Get some bibs or something. It is gross."
"Micah and Austin did an excellent job on a crawlspace encapsulation. Mac who did initial walkthrough was also very helpful in helping to determine the best options and educating me on the process. Would highly suggest Groundworks"
"I needed a new kitchen sink installed. Guy showed up on time. He was amazingly fast. Finished within 10 mins. Payment was easy and convenient. I recommend them to all my family and friends."
Sump Pump Installation questions, answered by experts
In most cases, standard homeowners insurance policies do not cover damage from a sump pump failure or overflow. Coverage for water damage is often limited to sudden, unexpected events like a burst pipe that was not caused by negligence. To be covered for sump pump issues, you will likely need to purchase a specific rider, endorsement, or additional water backup insurance. If your insurer offers this type of coverage, they may require proof that your sump pump is regularly maintained.
Start by calling a plumber if you want to install a sump pump battery backup. Talk to them about your situation and needs. Sometimes, electricians or waterproofing contractors will install a battery backup, and in that case, the plumber you call should be able to point you in the right direction.
Test regularly, clean the pump, and inspect the discharge line to ensure efficient operation.
The cost to repair a sump pump ranges from $400 to $550, depending on the extent of the repair and your location. Minor repairs, like fixing a switch or replacing a float, can cost just a few hundred dollars. However, more significant issues, such as motor replacement or addressing electrical problems, may cost closer to $550. Keep in mind that regular maintenance can help prevent costly repairs, and if a sump pump is beyond repair, a full system replacement ranges between $650 and $1,400.
The most common cause of a clogged sump pump is natural debris buildup. As water enters the sump pit, it can carry small pieces of debris that build up over time, or the debris can get caught in the filter. If you forget to cover the pit after cleaning the sump pump and pit, debris can also collect in the pit. Corrosion on the metal discharge pipe can also clog the pump. Additionally, if your pipes freeze, it can prevent water from draining properly and cause a clog.
