"I had a flood due to a sump pump failure. They sent their technician out within hours and he replaced the pump which was overflowing within an hour. Other companies were not able to show up for days. I couldn't speak more highly of this company!!!!!"

"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."

"I purchased a new HVAC system from Cardinal. Everything about the job went as planned, in the amount of time we were promised. The installers were professional and cleaned up the work space very well when they were finished. I would use Cardinal again without hesitation."

"Lucas Elsing Master Plumber and owner of Kegonsa Plumbing provided excellent customer service and responded quickly to my phone calls and text messages. He installed a new Bradford White 40 gallon power vent water heater and removed my old water heater that was no longer working. He arrived at 8am, very prompt. Was courteous and respectful of our home. He brought drop cloths to lay down over our carpeting. He was very efficient and the installation and removal went very smoothly. I had researched other plumbing companies and his price was better than the other 5 companies I reviewed for the exact same water heater. He was booked 2 weeks out but asked if we'd be open to a Saturday morning install, so he fit us into his busy schedule. I will definitely be using Kegonsa Plumbing for all my future plumbing needs and will recommend this company to friends and family. Honest, Professional, Affordable. Very good experience, very happy with his service and the water heater."

"The plumber was very friendly and professional. The price they quoted me was over $200 less than other plumbers for the same level of service. I was very pleased with the competence of the plumber. He took the time to explain the controls to me, the type of salt I should use, and how much salt for my new water softener. He was an hour late, however he finished the job in less time than I was quoted."

Sump Pump Installation questions, answered by experts

Installing a battery backup for your sump pump is recommended, particularly if you live in an area with frequent power outages or severe rainstorms. A sump pump requires electricity to function, and a battery backup ensures it can continue to move water out of your home if the power goes out, providing crucial protection against flooding. Additionally, frequent power outages can create electrical surges that might damage the sump pump's motor. A battery backup system offers an additional layer of protection, ensuring your basement stays dry.

The cost to repair a sump pump ranges from $400 to $550, depending on the extent of the repair and your location. Minor repairs, like fixing a switch or replacing a float, can cost just a few hundred dollars. However, more significant issues, such as motor replacement or addressing electrical problems, may cost closer to $550. Keep in mind that regular maintenance can help prevent costly repairs, and if a sump pump is beyond repair, a full system replacement ranges between $650 and $1,400.

Most sump pumps come with power cords that can be plugged into an outlet, but there are options that can be hardwired into a home’s electrical system. Either way, it’s smart to have a backup power supply in case the electricity goes out during a storm. That way, the sump pump can keep running and removing water from the sump pit.

A sewage ejector pump is necessary if you have any plumbing fixtures, such as a bathroom, laundry room, or sink, located below the level of your home's main sewer line. Standard plumbing relies on gravity to move wastewater and solid waste to the municipal sewer or septic tank. However, for fixtures located below grade (e.g., in a basement), gravity is not sufficient.

The purpose of a sewage ejector pump is to actively pump this wastewater and solid waste upward into the main sewer line. Without an ejector pump in this situation, wastewater would have no way to exit and would eventually back up, causing a sewage overflow or flooding in your basement. If all of your home's plumbing is on the main floor or higher, gravity can handle the drainage, and an ejector pump is not needed.

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.
