"The most recent visit was for the annual check-up and service of a crawlspace lining, dehumidification and sump-pump system installed 8 years ago. The system has done a marvelous job of keeping the crawlspace dry and the annual service by well-trained technicians has been excellent."

"I had Donna come out and scope the pipes and she let me know that i had a "belly" in my old terra cotta pipes. My house is 95 years old, and the pipes were original to the house. It was time to replace the sewage pipe, or face a back up of sewage into my home! No thanks!
Joanne and Donna worked with my schedule to find a time to do the work that met my needs. Donna, the owner, and Joanne the office scheduler have a ton of experience and advice. Donna's company really wants to do a good job for you, and they were really stand up contractors. Donna's whole team was a real pleasure to work with. 
The first day, we thought that we were going to be able to do a pipe bursting technique, but as it turned out, i was not a good candidate for this type of work due to the damage to the pipes. Instead, they ended up having to dig a trench from my house to the alley- which was quite the production!
It was a huge mess, but Underground Services First's workmen were total pro's. They worked hard and diligently, and did their best to avoid any areas of landscaping that they could- in fact, they painstakingly avoided my garden, which i really appreciated.   Additionally, they had to remove the fence in the back, and remove 3 sections of concrete to get to the pipe (2 outside the home, and also inside). At the end of the project they got the work inspected (and i was given a copy of both inspections) they  backfilled and compacted the yard, reseed my yard and put hay on it, replaced my fence, re-poured the concrete sections, and install a clean out near the alley and a backwater preventer. My only complaints are that they left some of the materials in the yard from the dig- a fence post, and some lengths of concrete- which i am not strong enough to move, and some of my brick contained gardens were broken and dislodged- but it was very close to the active work cite where the fence met the cite, so i was pretty sure that they would be broken in the process already. All in all this project took about a week, and i was only without use of my toilet for half a day (what a relief!).
While this experience was incredibly stressful- for both my pocket book and myself, Underground Services First did a great job minimizing the stress, and kept on working until the job was done. They kept me informed of their progress, explained the processes, and were respectful and polite in my home. I would absolutely recommend them to any person facing a sewage replacement. I'm looking forward to seeing grass in the back yard again!

Sump Pump Installation questions, answered by experts

Yes, many modern water pumps are designed with energy efficiency in mind. Look for pumps with high efficiency ratings or those with an Energy Star certification. These pumps consume less power and can reduce your utility bills. Additionally, variable-speed pumps are more efficient since they can adjust the flow based on demand, providing significant savings over time.

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.

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.

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.

Repairs typically take 1-2 hours, while replacements, depending on accessibility, may require up to 4 hours.
