"Had a SEVERE problem with the original construction of my 7 year old home. JES sent a rep out who diagnosed the problem and gave me what I considered a very fair quote to fix it. The crew they sent out, Angel Mara, and Isaias & Jose Flores were professional, communicative and friendly. Communication between setting the appointment and the actual day of was weak, but otherwise very happy."

"Steve Grizzel did a BEAUTIFUL job repairing and resurfacing our bathtub. It was the original 1952, cast iron tub complete with years of rust, worn out adhesives and abuse. Steve came in and cleaned it out, repaired the rust around the drain, and made our tub look BRAND NEW AGAIN, all for significantly less than it would have cost to rip out the tub and install a new sectional or a tile shower. He showed up when he said he would, was professional and pleasant to work with, did a fantastic job and the price was right. Highly recommend!! Bob and Julie Bicknell"

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

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.
