"Ryan was perfectly on-time and was a plumbing scholar and a gentleman. We had a simple drain replacement under a new sink. Going to Western saved me at least another day of trying to figure out proper parts and doing the install myself, and it also saved my wife's ears from hearing my salty language."

"I Called to get an in person quote for a tankless water heater flush and left this job with a whole house filter and a fridge connection. When Michael first arrived we inspected the tankless unit and tested the water to conclude flushing was not my best option. He then walked me through my options for home filters and we decided on a Halo system. Michael was very well educated on the subject and gave me the best value filter for my needs. He installed the unit the next day in less than a few hours and left me with a flawless work of art. I couldn't be more impressed with the professionalism he brings to this trade! I also requested to hook up a fridge and he did that in what seemed like 30 minutes. He will be the only plumber I call from now on!! Thank you Michael!!!"

"Rubio’s Plumbing service is by far the most professional experience you will ever have when it comes to trouble shooting, repair, or a new & complete repiping service. I have used Rubio’s on a number of occasions and each one has exceeded my expectations by far. I have had my home water service repiped without any issues. This was a huge undertaking that was performed quickly and without water disruptions. I have called them back during a remodel to change my laundry service location, both natural gas and water hookup that went smoothly. Rubios Plumbing also installed a bathroom vanity with the necessary plumbing upgrades which included faucet and sink fixtures. Their service was so incredibly reasonable in price and the quality of service was very professional. Rubios takes pride in their work and the cleanup afterwards. They provide recommendations to minimize future plumbing issues, forecasting recommendations to keep things in working order. Additionally, I called them once again to remove my old gas water heater and replace it with a Tankless Water Heater. A suitable location was found and the demo & installation process was completed once again with very positive results and no issues whatsoever. I could go on and on about how well they are but the bottom lines is, They were affordable and always worked within my budget. Rubios is a local company making it more convenient with a timely response to tackle any immediate problems. I highly recommend this company and I will certainly be calling them once again for my future home addition project coming up soon. I can truthfully say they are honest and trustworthy while working with the highest level of Customer Service, Integrity and Customer Satisfaction. You don’t need to spend a lot of time getting bids and waiting for other plumbers to show up or trying to upsell you. Call Rubio’s Plumbing and know that you’ve made the right call without all the hassle of those overpriced and over advertised out of area plumbing services. Support your local businesses with Rubios Plumbing, trust me, You’ll Be Glad You Did!"

"I highly recommend Adrian for any plumbing needs! He came out to fix my toilet and did an excellent job. From start to finish, Adrian was pleasant, professional, and courteous. He explained what the issue was and what he needed to do to fix it. He worked efficiently and left the area clean when he was done. His pricing was fair and there were no surprises. I really appreciated his friendly demeanor and expertise. I will definitely be calling Adrian again for any future plumbing issues and recommend him without hesitation. Five stars!"

"Jeff was responsive and his crew member showed up the date of the appointment and performed the bath room exhaust fan installation in a timely manner. All in all, we liked their service as it was professional and clean. We would�have e appreciated if they came a bit prepared for the installation or notified us in advance of additional accessories required for the full job. Being first time home owners, we tend to require a bit of preparatory guidance. Now we know what all we have to do for round 2, when that comes up..."

FAQs for sump pump or interior foundation drains installation projects in Alhambra, CA

Most residential pumps draw approximately 1,300 to 2,900 watts when they first start, then settle at roughly 800 to 1,050 watts during normal operation. The exact number depends on the motor’s horsepower and how often the float switch tells the pump to run. Even at the high end, the electricity cost is minor compared with the expense of cleaning up a flooded basement.

Grab a ruler and an empty 18‑inch‑wide pit. During a steady rain, time how much the water rises in one minute. Multiply that depth (in inches) by 60 to calculate gallons per hour, then add 50% for safety. If the result tops 2,100 gallons per hour—about 35 gallons a minute—you’ll need a 3/4‑horsepower unit. Anything lower, and a 1/3- or 1/2-horsepower pump should do the trick.

Loud rattling, constant cycling, or shuddering vibrations are the pump’s way of telling you it’s on its last legs. Musty smells, higher electric bills, and visible rust are other red flags. If the unit is 10 years old or older and exhibits any of these symptoms, replace it before the next heavy rain turns your basement into a wading pool.

You don’t have to hire a licensed plumber, but you should still bring in someone who installs sump pumps for a living—whether that’s a plumber, basement‑waterproofing specialist, or experienced handyman. They know the local codes, can wire the pump safely, and will test the system before they leave. Skipping professional help might void the warranty and could leave you with a pump that fails when you need it most.

Not every basement needs a pump, but if your home sits in a floodplain, has a high water table, or has ever taken on water during a storm, a sump pump is inexpensive insurance. For basements that only struggle with condensation or the occasional damp spot, sealing cracks and improving drainage may be all that is needed.
