"Professional and quality work. Great communication from team, (Steve, Tryone, Deownte, Daniel, and John). Work started and completed on time. Would recommend to anyone for basement waterproofing/sump pump installation. Thanks JES."
"Pure Water Pure Air LLC did an initial installation a year of a HomeGuard Water Softener which has worked out very well. They recently completed an inspection and tuned the system and helped educate us on proper use. Responded quickly, knowledgeable, patient and polite and most importantly professional. We'll definitely use them in the future and recommend them to friends."
"I recently used Casco to replace my home water softener system. Had them back out to install a sump pump under the house. They did a great job on this project as well. On-time, on-budget great clean up. "
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 them install all the roofing and other hardware for a full Tesla solar roof. Once that project was going, we also had them do 5 outer window/door projects for us. All went well and we're happy we had them do everything!"
Sump Pump Installation questions, answered by experts
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.
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.
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.
Common problems include motor failure, clogged discharge lines, and float switch malfunctions. Regular maintenance prevents many issues.
A small sump pump running infrequently uses an average of 10 kilowatt-hours (kWh) of electricity per month. The average cost for electricity is $0.171 per kWh. The size and use frequency affect how much electricity it uses. Sump pumps average one-third to one horsepower (hp) motors. One hp is equal to 745.7 watts. Watts multiplied by the time your pump is running divided by 1,000 equals your average kWh. Multiply kWh by your average cost of electricity. In areas with high rain or a marsh basin, the average cost can be as high as $15-$25 a month.
