"KJM Plumbing, Kurt, responded quickly to my request for a quote on replacing our leaking water heater. He quoted installing a high quality, Bradford White unit at a reasonable price. The plumber who did the full installation was a very skilled, professional and friendly worker. The final invoice had no unexpected charges and included a nice breakdown of the major portions of the project. I highly recommend KJM Plumbing, for work in the Madison, WI area."

"Lucas was amazing to work with. Got us a deal on a new kitchen sink and offered a match on the faucet when we found it cheaper elsewhere. Very prompt and excellent service. Will definitely hire again in the future."

"We were satisfied with the outcome of our retaining wall project. It took a little longer than we initially anticipated, but in the end, the final quality of the work was worth it. They installed two block walls, replaced and updated our downspout drainage system, and fixed the fence gate that sits behind one of the walls. They were friendly throughout."

"Boulders Concrete replaced existing wood steps with concrete steps plus added a metal railing since our yard is divided into two separate levels. They started on time and finished on time. Ted and his workers were very professional and did excellent work plus he saved me money over other bids. I would highly recommend this company."

Foundation Drain Installation FAQs, answered by experts

A sump pump will drain a flooded basement if it has a horsepower strong enough to remove the water faster than it is entering the room. If you have the wrong type or size of sump pump installed–or if your sump pump has failed–you may need to take additional steps to stop the flow of water or remove it manually.

The type of stormwater drainage system you need depends on your area’s storm severity and frequency. Your property’s location should also be considered, including the surrounding soil type, nearest roads, existing drainage systems, and slopes and hills. Your property’s structure, such as decks, walkways, crawl spaces, and foundation, also affects what drainage system will work the best.

Some questions you should ask before hiring a plumber or drainage installation company include:

  • Are you licensed and insured?

  • Do you have any customer testimonials I can read?

  • How do you handle unforeseen challenges that occur during the job?

  • Is your fee a flat rate or hourly?

  • Do you do the work, or do you have subcontractors?

  • Is everyone who does the work licensed and qualified plumbers?

  • Is cleanup included in the quote?

  • Do you offer a warranty or guarantee on your work?

Yes, you can install a sump pump yourself. By following the steps above, you can have a sump pump installed in 24 hours. You will have to use some advanced tools and techniques, so if you feel uneasy about taking it on yourself, it’s best to hire a professional.

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.
