"We are the 2nd owners of a 15 year old home. Don't know why the original owner/builder did not put a sump pump in the basement, as it would have been a cheaper option in the end. If you are building a new home with a basement, put a sump pump in, don't scrimp on what is a very valuable insurance policy. After looking at a handful of other companies to retrofit a sump pump in our cellar, we picked All Aspects Waterproofing, LLC. They did a great job! Very high quality work, and outstanding service. They did a great job! We enthusiastically recommend All Aspects Waterproofing to any homeowner!"

"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."

"Mary scheduled the appointment and called to confirm.  Dave did the installation.  He arrived on time, was polite, and accommodated our request on where to locate the battery for the system.  He showed me how to use the system and left the room clean as if no work had been done.  The main pump probably is nearing the end of its life and we will use this company again to replace it.

"Floodbusters was great. We had a quick timeline needed and they met it. Willing to work with us on the project to get it done in time and prevent any more issues. They were efficient and respectful of the house. They kept it clean despite a very dirty job. Since the work was done the basement has been dry and no more flooding/issues."

"The tech Marcus was great. He went above and beyond in answering my questions and the HVAC inspection I asked for. I had issues with water not draining from my drain pan, and he took the time to figure out the problem and recommend remediation options covering a range of prices, all without pushing their services. The service call took much longer than it should have for the 2 A/C units I have, but he was patient and professional."

"I contacted eleven highly rated plumbers through Angie's List and selected this one because they provided a reasonable estimate via Angie's List message system (half of them wouldn't do so) and did not charge a dispatch fee (half of them had one). Edmond (a master plumber who owns this business - not some random subcontractor) was prompt, courteous and got the job done efficiently. I was also pleasantly surprised that he installed a pressure regulator that included a gauge, which was not mentioned at the time of estimate. Will definitely use again should the need arise. Highly recommend."

"Installation of our system was top notch and professional. 6 months after installation of my system, the salesman, Scott, immediately responds to any questions or issues that I have. Their service is great and the quality of our water is remarkable. We are very pleased and can't recommend Orbit Water / Puronics highly enough!"

FAQs for sump pump or interior foundation drains installation projects in Anacostia, DC

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.
