"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."

Sump Pump Installation questions, answered by experts

A sump pump's lifespan is typically 7 to 10 years, though the general range can be anywhere from 5 to 15 years. The specific type of pump is a major factor: pedestal sump pumps last an average of 20 to 25 years, whereas submersible sump pumps last between 5 and 15 years. While pedestal pumps are less expensive to service, they are also louder and more prone to clogging.

Several other factors influence longevity, including the pump's quality, usage frequency, and maintenance schedule. A high-quality pump that is well-maintained in a dry climate may last for two decades, while a lower-quality, poorly maintained pump in an area with a high water table or frequent flooding may fail in six years or less.

Regular maintenance, including annual inspections and tuneups from a professional, can significantly extend the pump's life. It is time to consider a replacement if your sump pump runs constantly, cycles frequently, shows visible rust or corrosion, or trips a circuit breaker. As a preventative measure, many homeowners replace their pumps every eight years. It's also worth noting that a manufacturer's warranty can indicate expected lifespan, and some home insurance policies may not cover water damage from a pump that is past its recommended replacement date.

Yes, it’s normal (and beneficial) to have a small amount of water in the bottom of your sump pit. It shows that your system is collecting groundwater, rain, and excess water from around your property—just like it’s supposed to. However, if the sump pit is always full, you might have a leak or a faulty sump pump.

No. Sump pumps have different capacities, which refers to the volume of water that they can remove. They also come in various horsepower ratings, which measure the size of the pump’s motor. For many homes, 1/3 horsepower is enough. But if you live in an area that floods often, you might need a more powerful model.

One common reason a sump pump stops working is improper sizing. Different locations need different sizes and power ratings of sump pumps depending on the typical amount of water the pump needs to manage. If your sump pump is too small for the quantity of water, it can overwork and either burn out or reduce the life of the unit. If the pump is too big, it can overwork and burn out early. 

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.
