"I had plumbing leaks in a couple of places, but the men that did the work went above and beyond by replacing every component involved top to bottom to ensure there would be no leaks for a long time to come. Very satisfied with the quality of work as well as how quickly it was done."

"Service tech very professional and cordial. Made sure my wife knew what he was going to be doing next and where in the house he had to be to do it. My only beef is with the communication. When I made the appointment I specifically told the customer service rep that I would be out of the state when the service call was to take place, and made sure she knew that my wife had to be contacted when the tech was on the way AND the phone number to use to do so. Nope. Tech called ME. I instructed him to call my wife and confirmed that he had the correct phone number - that call did not take place. I am not a fan of big corporations buying out small, family-owned businesses (in this case Werley HVAC). I was assured, repeatedly, that the level of service would not change when ACE took over. I remain skeptical - this was a simple matter of following directions. Should not have gone down this way, and no, it's not a difficult fix. "

"They worked steadily, efficiently. They were respectful of our other furnishings trying to keep the dust and dirt from getting to them. They were pleasant to speak with. They explained a few things when I asked. I would recommend them to anyone that was looking for a company that would deal with their water in the basement problem."

FAQs for sump pump or interior foundation drains installation projects in Bethlehem, PA

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.
