Get matched with top sump pump repair or replacers in Anacostia, DC

"I needed a new sump pump installed and every part of the process went smoothly - I'm fully statisfied with the outcome and the price paid"

"Rene was great. He had a wonderful suggestion to secure the lid to my sump pump pit, cover the holes another plumbing crew had made, and secure the lid to the pit. Highly recommend! Great on price and flexibility in scheduling!"

"One of my heat pumps was so noisy my neighbor gently complained. When Dennis the technician arrived, I decided to keep an open mind. Technicians from other HVAC companies looked at the units before - for the same issue - but NONE, absolutely NONE, was as thorough as Dennis. He showed me the amount of dirt inside the pump on the street level and said the unit needed "deep cleaning" and the capacitor needed to be replaced in the unit under the deck. Dennis explained everything thoroughly and in simple terms. He took his work seriously and although he had been working for a few hours already, he did not rush through the job. Technicians from other HVAC companies did less than half the work Dennis did and told me I needed two new heat pumps! None mentioned cleaning. It took Dennis longer to complete his work because I kept peppering him with questions which he very calmly and professionally answered. Sila has a top notch employee in Dennis. I look forward to working with him again."

"The old well above-ground water pump stopped working and they responded promptly with a submersed replacement. The old piping was pulled from the well and replaced with new piping and power cable. The old water filter holder was difficult to use and not secured well; they replaced it, relocated it to free up basement space and fastened it securely to the wall. The pressure tank was also moved to a better location to free up space. The plumbing and electrical were re-routed. The pressure switch and pressure gauge were replaced. They were very cooperative and accommodating to my suggestions and wishes. The cost was reasonable."

"Edmund and Wes where extremely professional and knowledgeable. Showed up right on time. They were able to determine that there was not a leak. Pertaining to the water pressure, Edmund identified the problem immediately as an old compensator that was part of the original main water line. He replaced it and we went from 50 PSI to 70 PSI through the entire house. The pressure on the second deck is strong just like the pressure in the basement. They are now my go to plumbing team in Leesburg."

"For many years we had a damp and sometimes wet basement. Especially after heavy rains. After Flood Busters installed their system, very promptly and efficiently, the basement has been bone dry, inspite of the heavy rains we have had all across Harford County during the past year. There has not been a single damp or wet spot anywhere. JLow"

"Upon responding to a call late in the evening (already a plus), provider arrived around the time he had offered,  Starting to look at controls technician new right away the brand and then proceed to check and test the pump.  Afer a couple of trials found that the capacitor was not working.  Luckily he had one in stock (another plus for the service) and replaced it.  While not an expert myself, not sure the cost of parts but the charge inheritly has an opportunity cost that is crucial to make repais.  Well done!

"Summary: Great service. Felt really confident in the knowledge and skills of the plumber. Work was quick and well done. Yet...paid out the nose, what seems in retrospect like a crazy high price that we're still trying to understand. Details; We moved into a house with a weird basement toilet-- an above-ground macerator (grinder) in a closet next to a Saniflo toilet, instead of a pipe to the sewer line. The grinder stopped working while renters were staying here, and we needed it fixed ASAP. Non-functioning toilet = non-functioning rental! Jiffy was super responsive on a Saturday morning. They're available 24/7 we're told! We got someone on the phone right away, which was not the case with other places we called. They had a guy out to the house in less than 3 hours to do an estimate. The plumber, Scott, had 8+ years of experience and suggested several options. My partner suggested a less-labor-intensive (and less expensive) option -- running pipe above ground to the sewer line instead of jackhammering into the concrete slab to lay pipe -- and Scott was happy to roll with that and make sure it would work well for us. He also assured us he could get it done same-day, which was great. No pressure. He quoted us $2k, flat fee. He left and we researched our options. In the meantime, the macerator spontaneously started working and cleared the clog, which meant it would not require anyone to pump out the toilet bowl or the pipe, which we expected would save him considerable labor and mess. We called the main number and asked about any change to the price and were politely rebuffed. A $2K quote was a $2k quote. We couldn't get anyone else to come give us an estimate in a timely manner and Jiffy has great reviews here, so we called Jiffy back and said we'd like to work with them. Scott came within an hour or two, after finishing a plumbing job at Lowe's. (We felt re-assured that even Lowe's trusts Jiffy with their plumbing!). Scott came in, removed the macerator, cut the metal sewer pipe, and connected the toilet to the sewer line with some PVC pipe and joints. He tested it with us, explained his work, and disposed of the used materials for us. All appreciated. In total, he was in and out in less than 4 hours. It was a great experience work-wise, and we don't mind at all to pay more for a very skilled, high-quality job that avoids sewage in our basement!! Still....we can't for the life of us figure out how that adds up to $2K, and felt a bit like we were easy marks as first-time home owners who clearly needed the service day-of. We didn't realize when he said he could "get it done today" that he meant it would only take 3-4 hours. That's $500/hr. Even if we doubled it to 8 hours of labor if we round up generously on the commute and time to buy materials, that's $250/hour. We're told $175/hr is standard, or up to $210 on the very high end. We also know from other DIY projects that the materials (PVC and joints) were inexpensive. I don't know if we paid for special expertise, or "emergency rates" or what. Again, we don't mind at all paying for quality, but we're stumped. Live and learn, but next time we'll be sure to ask how many hours it will probably take, and start our negotiations about price from there. Note: If anyone has information about pricing methods that would make sense out of this for us, we'd be open to that too, and I'd change the review to Yes, Would Hire Again. We'd want to hire again, for all the reasons above, but would hesitate because I don't feel great about a pricing strategy of "see what the customer will be willing to pay unwittingly, and go with that." :P p.s. Given the price, the 11% Angie's List membership discount was much appreciated!"

"The price was competitive, there was a minor hickup in installation and the install took longer than expected, but overall things went well and now after almost a year, I can say the sump pump is working well and is much quieter than my prior model.  We intend on using them again once we move to install a similar set-up in our new home.

"This is really a great company. Super-responsive, fair prices, and, most importantly, quality work done by knowledgable and hard-working folks. I initially called about a leaky kitchen faucet and the owner contacted me right away and was at my house within the hour. He diagnosed my problem immediately, recommended a solution, gave me a reasonable estimate, and said it would be taken care of that day. I was so impressed that I decided to ask for a quote on replacing an aging sump pump and water heater. I wound up having those replaced as well. They also installed a frost-free spigot in front of the house when I mentioned the issues I was having with the ancient "vacuum breaker" that sprayed water everywhere and that I simply could not remove myself. Now flash-forward to 2 weeks later: I detected a water-stain on my living room ceiling which I deduced was probably coming from an upstairs toilet. I called after hours and left a message describing the problem. The owner called me early the next morning and sent sent somebody out immediately. The issue was determined to be a deteriorated "wax ring". Rather than doing a repair, I decided-- at no urging from them-- to have both of the 30-year old toilets in my house replaced with new units. The job was done quickly and professionally in just a couple of hours. Few things are as stressful to homeowners as plumbing and water-related issues. However, it is a relief to know that there are competent, responsive professionals out there like Kelly that you can turn to when the need arises."
