"Our experience with JES was unmatched! Everyone we interacted with was kind, patient, and professional. We like to understand the why and how of the work being done, and they walked us through the process each step of the way. From our initial phone call and quoting with Christian, to the amazing work of Larry, James, and Devaun we knew we were in good hands! We had an initial estimate for crawlspace encapsulation last year but werenâ t ready to move forward due to other home projects. We had quotes from other companies, but based on neighbor recommendations and our interactions with Christian, we knew JES was the right company for us to use. When we called back a year later Christian remembered us and details of our home and was able to quickly get us a new estimate and scheduled for service! Larry was our main point of contact throughout the project and was phenomenal. He gave us 30 min heads up for arrival each day, walked me through the plan of work each day, and was so considerate of my need to work from home. He answered all our many questions, and came to us to keep us updated and informed on progress. He is incredibly respectful and inspires confidence in the work he and his crew do! James went above and beyond in our crawlspace encapsulation! He has great attention to detail, in making sure our vents were correctly sealed, and patiently answered our questions about how the encapsulation worked. Devaun also helped install our sump pump and did an awesome job! I was impressed by how quick that process was- I came down at one point and the pump was already installed, without a trace of dirt or debris behind in the basement! Completely satisfied! Will be enthusiastically recommending JES, and our crew specifically, to all of our fellow homeowners!"

"I would recommend this business to everyone. We were in a bind and Cameron called me back on the weekend and let me bring him my pump late night to him. He fixed it on the spot and was happy to help. Customer service is hard to find these days, but Cam showed it still exists. Good guy and knows what he's doing. I'll be getting him to do my dock well now. Thank you again Cam!"

"Everyone was professional, prompt and couteous. However, the inspector didn't have a ladder when he arrived. Apparentlyl I was suposed to tell them they needed to bring a ladder. He offered to come back with a ladder, but upon further questioning, it turns out that unless your attic is finished or has walking boards installed, they can't go up there at all. They just shine the light around and look for signs."

They installed my air conditioning/furnace. For some reason, one year and one month after they installed it, I had parts going bad in it. It is a major brand, a Carrier unit, so I don't know why I would have had parts fail in such a short period of time. I had no heat during the snowstorm. It may have just been a fluke.

Sump Pump Installation questions, answered by experts

3/4 HP is stronger than 1/2 HP. Horsepower measures how much weight can be moved and how fast, or the power needed to move 550 pounds one foot in one second. 1 HP equals 550 foot-pounds per second, so the higher the horsepower, the heavier the load it can lift. While 1/2 HP is a standard, powerful option, 3/4 HP has the extra strength to handle heavier, larger doors with ease.

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.

When a backflow valve fails, wastewater will flow back into your system, contaminating your drinking water. You’ll immediately notice backflow valve failure from a rotten smell and brown water coming from faucets. Get in contact with a septic pro or a plumber immediately if you suspect this has happened to you.

Installing a battery backup for your sump pump is recommended, particularly if you live in an area with frequent power outages or severe rainstorms. A sump pump requires electricity to function, and a battery backup ensures it can continue to move water out of your home if the power goes out, providing crucial protection against flooding. Additionally, frequent power outages can create electrical surges that might damage the sump pump's motor. A battery backup system offers an additional layer of protection, ensuring your basement stays dry.

A sump pump battery backup can typically run for 6 to 24 hours. The factors that affect its runtime include the battery capacity and pump usage. 

When purchasing your backup system, take these factors into consideration to determine which system is best for your home. If you live in an area with frequent and long-lasting power outages, consider a longer-lasting backup battery.
