"JT did a great job. He diagnosed the source of the leak, had the parts he needed to repair the toilet on his truck and completed the job within an hour. He was very personable and efficient. He was also very prepared to maintain social distancingand minimize any possibility of contracting and our spreading the virus in our household."

"Jeremy was the only Plumber that contacted me directly from Angie's list. He called me after hours and scheduled coming out to clear the clog around 12 hours later. He came out and was very professional and quick to repair the clog. You get better service than the big guys with less cost. I highly recommend him and will use him again in the future. If you don't hire him for your job, you will be disappointed."

"We had Daniel, Johnny and Tim work to install steel beam and jacks to lift sagging floors. They did an excellent job and we immediately noticed how the bounce and sag in our floor was gone. It even closed the settlement cracks in our wall. They were on time, considerate and thorough. They cleaned up our space without us even having to ask them. They even installed a drain pipe on our air conditioner to help with the condensation drip which wasnâ  t part of the job. We highly recommend this company."

"We highly recommend AFS for waterproofing a crawlspace. AFS encapsulated our crawlspace on our new construction home and installed a sump pump and dehumidifier in the crawlspace. The install crew (Tim - Foreman, Trent, CJ and John) was very prompt, courteous and professional. They explained everything about their work, and thoroughly cleaned up the worksite. Tim returned a few days later to finish up after our electrical outlets were installed and to make sure everything was working properly. Our salesman Reid was also excellent to work with. He explained everything in detail and answered all of our questions."

"Wow! Doug phoned me within 20 minutes and was at my house within an hour performing several exterior waste field checks and interior tests to make sure my system was operating to standard. What a relief. Along the way, he explained in perfect detail why we were doing this and what a bad indication would look like. Very Personable, knowledgeable, approachable, professional, truck and equipment squared away...some one who loves his job and likes talking care of people. He also provided some preventive maintenance tips for us to extend our properly operating system further. He explained exactly what we should look for when and if trouble does rear its head. Great guy."

FAQs for sump pump or interior foundation drains installation projects in Bristol, TN

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.
