"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."

"The twelve year old heat pump (original installation) servicing our upstairs zone had a persistent freon leak and needed replacement. Alan, the owner of Parrish Services, responded to my HomeAdvisor request and offered to come out at 6PM on a Saturday evening to assess the situation and provide an estimate. He started with a heat pump/air handler combination at the same capacity as my current system and presented a couple of upgrade options as well (I ended up going up half a ton since the old system had struggled on some of the hottest days). Since we would be switching to a new refrigerant, another installer had insisted I would also need a new line set. Alan checked with the manufacturers of his systems (Trane, Bosch) and determined the Trane system could use the existing line set, while removing the more expensive Bosch system from consideration. He was also very patient and timely in his responses as I asked several follow-up questions over the next several days regarding line flushing procedures when switching refrigerants. His responsiveness, combined with a competitive price compared to other providers, led me to select his proposal. When the installer showed up (on time) to do a site survey, he was quick and professional and asked me several times if I had any additional questions. Since the job was to include an attic installation on an expected hot summer day, they requested a 6AM start on installation day. The team showed up promptly at the scheduled time and was finished before noon, freeing up my afternoon for other tasks. Throughout the installation the personnel were very professional, polite and courteous. After two weeks the system appears to be running well with no issues. Of course any assessment won't be complete until we experience the heating season with our new system and subsequent routine maintenance, but based upon my experience so far, Parrish is a first-class operation."

"A-Master assessed our plumbing issue (bad check valve on well pump and bad pressure tank). Quote for repairs included pulling the pump to replace check valve. Cost was quite a bit more than another plumber quote we had received so we went with the cheaper option (also because that plumber was under contract with our home warranty company). Was very impressed with A-Master plumber's professionalism, speed of diagnosis, punctuality, explanation of repairs needed, and communications. They were definitely superior in those areas to the cheaper plumber, but for this job we decided the cheaper option was sufficient."

Sump Pump Installation questions, answered by experts

You should be fine. Most high-grade grinder pumps have a 24-hour holding capacity within the tank. You can continue to use the facilities so long as the power outage does not stretch into days. In a worst-case scenario, attach a generator to the grinder pump, providing it has sufficient electric capacity.

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.

There are several things you can do to maintain your sump pump and prevent sump pump problems. For instance, keeping a lid on your sump pit goes a long way in protecting your pump system from silt, sand, dirt, and other debris. When water drains from the outside, such as along your foundation, or with melting snow, water runoff often brings sediment with it. 

Also be wary of corrosion, particularly if your sump pump system is made of metal. Keep an eye out for rust and have it inspected regularly by a plumber or sump pump technician.

Thankfully, you do have a few sump pump backup options in case it fails. One option is a battery-powered backup sump pump. Another option is using a portable backup generator as a power supply for your sump pump. Unlike a battery-powered backup which has limited power, a generator can run around the clock for as long as you need it. 

Or you can opt for a water-powered backup pump, which uses your home’s water supply as a source of power. However, this may not be the best option if you find your house frequently has low water pressure.

The most common cause of a clogged sump pump is natural debris buildup. As water enters the sump pit, it can carry small pieces of debris that build up over time, or the debris can get caught in the filter. If you forget to cover the pit after cleaning the sump pump and pit, debris can also collect in the pit. Corrosion on the metal discharge pipe can also clog the pump. Additionally, if your pipes freeze, it can prevent water from draining properly and cause a clog.
