"I've done a lot of reading on sump pumps, but probably no unlike a lot of homeowners, I didn't know a lot about what I needed to be looking for on maintenance, etc. My backup battery had just gone out and I needed help on what to do next. Whether to get a new battery, or just a new system. Darrell was AMAZING. Very professional and answered every single question I had, he looked at the system thoroughly, and helped me understand the ins and outs of my system better. I can't thank him enough for helping to ease my mind, and being kind enough to walk me through what I was looking at. My Monday was made better for it!"

"The entire JES operation is class act. From the quote, to contracting, to the installation - everything was smooth and professional. The installation foreman (Jessie) was great, and his crew Kenian, Alex, and Will were hard workers. They were all friendly, and everything was completed at or above expectations with no issues. I've hired JES twice. You might find cheaper contractors for foundation work, but you won't find better!"

"Jamie did a fantastic job. Came out the day we called him to see what needed to be done.  The next day he and his associate had the new hot water tank in quickly and efficiently. Spent time showing us how the new hot water tank worked and answered all of our questions. Would definitely recommend Smith Plumbing!

"We had a backed-up sewer in our basement and garage found late on Friday night, we called them and they came out to help us that very night. They assessed the issue and cleared what they could, helped us to be able to still use the pipe until they could come out and permanently fix the issue, which was done first thing Monday morning. They went above and beyond for us, they explained the situation and what they needed to do to fix it. They also made sure we were not taken advantage of when it came to the repairs, due to the break in the line not being our responsibility, because it was at the main hook up for our sewer supply from our water company. They were very professional, helpful, and all-around AWESOME!"

"After another contractor messed up our home, we got VPS to quote out the cost to finish the work. We initially thought the price was too high, but after getting some other quotes, VPS came in under everyone else. Long story short, they came and got it all finished in a day, and we've had no problems since. Another thing I liked was they were able to move a pipe over for us, because we had second thoughts on the best place to put it. Great company to work with overall.

"They completely outfitted the garage space and upstairs guest space with every outlet and switch and lighting and provided a lot of good insight into how the space might be used and where outlets should go or how many. They had to trench from the garage to the house to bring in power and Tommy did an all but seemingly impossible job bringing a wire from box in the house through 20ft of crawl space nobody could fit into and out a small hole. Serious dedication. The other option would have been a longer trench and ruining some landscaping. Tommy listened to my concerns and worked hard providing a great professional experience. Everything was cleaned up and taken care of professionally."

FAQs for sump pump or interior foundation drains installation projects in Buckingham, 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.
