"JES Foundation contracts all their electrical work out to Root Electric. In the process of installing my new sump pump, back-up sump pump, and sump pump alarm system, it was determined that a new dedicated outlet could not be created due to my existing electrical panel being too small. Thus, I needed to get an electrical panel upgrade. Through JES Foundation, a date and time was arranged to have my new electrical panel upgrade installed. The lead Root electrician Andrew, and his assistant Andy, dd a terrific job installing the new upgraded electric panel. They were both very friendly, efficient, and professional. Andrew afterwards walked me through everything that was done, and answered any questions that I had. They also cleaned up afterwards very well. I highly recommend Root Electric and JES Foundation to anyone who needs their expertise."

"I found Casco on Angie's List and called them on a Monday. Casco plumbing technician came to the house the next day and did an excellent job repairing the broken water line. He also checked to be certain there were no more water leaks in our house. I highly recommend Casco for All plumbing needs. I had them return on a different day to work on replacing our sump pump and improving our sump pump location. I am planning on having them return to install new toilets and plumbing fixtures in my bathrooms. Nmttp"
Steve Norfolk (owner) installed a new sump pump and backup battery in February 2013. We have not had a moment's trouble in three years. We recently had a power outage and things continued to work well. Since it was the first time we had to rely on the backup battery, I wasn't familiar with the change in pumping sounds, etc and worried that all was not well. I called, spoke with Mary and requested if they could come back out and check my system. Steve came out to the house, took a careful look at everything, explained (again) what to expect and what to look for in the future (i.e. - when the battery was showing signs of needing to be replaced.) He was extremely patient and thorough, and did not charge me for his time!
I cannot recommend this company highly enough - they are professional, thorough, patient and most importantly, stand behind their work and customers no matter the length of time.
"Hired to take a look at our sump pump battery that wouldn't stop beeping at us no matter what we did. They fixed it, and showed us why we should really replace our pump with something higher quality and less shoddy. We decided to upgrade and they installed within 2-3 days of that decision. Great work!"
"We had a really positive experience with AHC from start to finish. James Im was a breath of fresh air after meeting with several other window company salespeople--just down-to-earth, knowledgeable and straight forward (as opposed to the more intense sales tactics we had experienced!). Follow up by email and phone was easy and the financing options worked well for us. James introduced us to the Compositwood products from Interstate Windows, which look and function beautifully. He had good suggestions for keeping the look consistent with the rest of our 1920's home. We wouldn't have found this brand otherwise but very glad we did! While the custom order took a couple weeks longer to manufacture than anticipated, it was well worth the wait. David and his team did a great job on the installation--arriving on time and working quickly and efficiently. Additionally, James arranged the replacement of our gutters with leaf guards (worth every penny!). The installation was a bit tricky in spots and we were impressed how easily they figured it all out. Several weeks (and never ending rain) later, everything is looking and functioning perfectly. We will definitely be in touch with them for future projects."

Sump Pump Installation questions, answered by experts
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.
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.
If your water pump fails, the first step is to turn off the power to the pump to prevent any further damage. Check for common issues such as clogs, electrical problems, or mechanical failures. If you cannot identify the problem, contact a professional who specializes in pump repairs. Prompt action can help minimize damage and repair costs.
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.
First, you can try unplugging the two sump pump cords, one for the motor and one for the float switch, then plugging them back in to reset the sump pump. You can also reset the sump pump by turning it off and back on at the breaker. Many sump pumps have a reset button, which you can press and hold for a few seconds to reset the device.
