"AquaGuard was the last of 6 companies to give me a quote to waterproof my basement. They were 1 of 3 companies that had a similar system of cutting interior drains and channeling the water that comes in through to a sump pump to pump it out. They were the most expensive of the three, but the quote they gave me was the most personalized (you actually choose what you want of what they recommend), and they are BBB recognized unlike the other two, with lifetime warranties (also not available from the other two. I question their judgment of using the Trust Dale seal (that guy is a hack), but everything else outweighed that piece. I did not like paying a deposit. Having worked in the residential construction industry, we were taught that was a no-no, but since this company wasn't a fly-by-night mom and pop, I decided it was ok and they probably wouldn't run off with my money (but I still didn't like it). I was told I would receive a call to schedule the work in the next 24 hours. It took a week. I got very nervous that they stole my money, and the lady on the phone said the sales guy hadn't entered it into the system yet. Anyway, it finally got scheduled, and I got numerous reminders via text, email, and phone. I appreciated that. Day-of construction arrived, and Peyton's crew was punctual and polite. We encountered a problem with one part of their plan upon initial inspection, but a guy on the crew figured out a fix. I was super impressed with his knowledge. They jacked up my floor without cracking the tile - they're VERY careful with it. Some of my walls did crack, but per their consultation and paperwork, it was expected. Putty and paint are all I need to fix it. I'm considering buying a couple more support beams because I'm so impressed with the work. The house got dusty from all the work, but it was also expected. The AquaGuard sales guy and crew did a very good job of setting expectations. Peyton and the team finished a few hours earlier than expected. They cleaned up very well. They showed me everything they did and answered all my questions. They even put my landscaping rocks back where they were after burying the pipe. The only thing that was weird about the job being done is that they didn't charge my card for like a week. I had to ask them twice to do it. Weird. Anyway, I would definitely recommend them if this is the type of basement waterproofing you're looking for."

"It seems so rare these days to find a company that does what they say, but Floors Sag or Shake is one of those companies. During the inspection process when looking to buy a 1935 farmhouse, Eddie provided a detailed estimate and explanation of what needed to be done to make the foundation secure. They were willing and able to make repairs that two of the larger foundation repair companies said they wouldn't do after looking at the foundation. When we decided to go ahead with buying the house and chose Floors Sag or Shake for the repairs, I told Eddie that we'd be in touch after closing. He called the morning of our closing to see if we were ready to start repairs. They started when they said they would, did they work they outlined in the contract, finished when they promised and charged the amount in the contract. This seems to be such a simple, successful business model, but is so rare to actually experience as a customer. The crew were professional, respectful and generally likable guys. The supervisor came out on a Saturday to repair a leaking pipe in the crawl space, even though they weren't completely certain that they caused the leak. Floors Sag or Shake was also responsive after the project. A few of the footings still had the wooden forms attached and the vapor barrier had shifted a bit. The crew came back out and quickly took care of both issues.

"We noticed a small dripping leak from the water pressure regulator after watering the yard. We watched it for several days. It didn't get any better. We called Franklin to come out after explaining what was happeining. The appointment was made...we told them it was not an emergency, but they said they would be out the next day. They were right on time. The service was very quick. I asked him, "Do you always carry that part in the truck?'. He told me that this was the third water pressure regulator he had replaced this week. I guess they do need to keep that part in the truck."

"Technicians came on time, very efficient and immediately diagnosed the problem, that the drain pump was not working right, and replaced it in no time. Tested our washer and it fixed the problem."

"AHS is ok. They cover repairs of most everything under the roof of your house. The companies that contract with them are not always the best. You call AHS with the issue, they send a fax to the repair company and give you the contact info. If they don't contact you within 24 hours, you call them. Sometimes they answer, sometimes they don't. When they arrive (usually three days or so later), they service the item. if it has issues within the 90 days, you call AHS again, they are sent out with no charge. If the serviceman decides the unit is unrepairable, AHS will allow you to choose a replacement from their listing (usually not as good as what you have) they will install and remove your old item, or give you wholesale amount to buy and install your own. Prices vary on what you want covered and what you want the copay to be, plus where you live. For me it is 49.99 per month with a 75.00 time of service order. You can have more than one item serviced at the same time under the same fee. If you have a SEAR product the repair guys are great. Not that wild about the other ones they send out. But it is a big savings compared to calling someone on your own. The cost of service is only the 75.00 copay."

"Chad, Carol, and Adam were fantastic. Chad was able to articulate each and every step of the tasks to be accomplished. Carol was meticulous and very conscientious about getting some mold residue abated and the painted. Adam was detail oriented and was patient with our MANY questions concerning the installation of our balcony door. He made several constructive suggestions concerning perfecting the aesthetics both inside and out. We have hired Chad and his team to complete a larger scale job. Chad isn’t trying to make bank on this one job. His economic suggestions to save on each aspect of the job is much appreciated. He WILL work within your state budget and is very honest about his estimates. We look forward to working him on other projects."

FAQs for sump pump or interior foundation drains installation projects in Carlton, GA

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.
