"Cedric quickly diagnosed the faucet issue and attempted to repair it. After determining that it was unrepairable, he ordered a brush nickel faucet that matches our kitchen sink. He suggested that we join the Home Protection Plan for service savings. Cedric is courteous, knowledgeable, and professional."

"Not recommended!! Its a waste of money in my case. My kitchen sink underneath had a clog and a leaking pipe, So the pipe started leaking once the clog happened. The technician came, inspected quickly and quoted $1200 in this case. We did not approve the work and he charged $103. We had two more plumbing companies visiting after, one of them charged $525 (which is also high, but they completed the work) for just snaking And removing the clog, Another company was only quoting less than $200 for snaking and removing the clog. The work was offered to be completed in both the cases. As I am also reading from many reviews, I think Roto-rooter will just come and quote high and charge the visiting fees."

FAQs for sump pump or interior foundation drains installation projects in Bellaire, TX

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.
