"Jose installed a new kitchen faucet for us, after ours fell apart. He came out on a Saturday afternoon, then made 2 or 3 subsequent trips when things didn’t fit our space. He was professional, very friendly, and very fairly priced!"

"Five stars are simply not enough to express my satisfaction with the service provided by Reliable Plumbing. After multiple other companies failed me, their team quickly and professionally solved my drain clog issue, and supplied and installed my new tankless water heater. The technician was was knowledgeable, courteous, and explained everything throughout the process, and I love that they are a family owned business. To top it all off, their prices beat other companies I had to deal with. Thank you Reliable Plumbing. I don't have enough words to express my appreciation. I gained a forever plumbing company!"

"Hurricane Drain Company called me minutes after purchasing a coupon from Angie's List. They asked me the best time to schedule, the plumber showed up, on time and professional. Nicely done, simple as that.

"Brock met with us very quickly to give us a quote - MUCH less than the previous quote we had received - to paint the interior of the house we just purchased. We were working on a short timeline and needed the house interior painted before our furniture was moved in.  Brock worked with our budget so that we were able to have all the rooms painted that we wanted.  It was very easy to communicate with him and he immediately had a grasp on what we wanted.  The job was finished earlier than expected, and was done very professionally. I was very impressed to see how thoroughly the house was prepped for painting, and how thoroughly everything was replaced.  A couple tweaks were needed and his crew had no problem returning to the house promptly to fix them. Overall a very good experience and we are likely to use InTouch Painting in the future.

"When the flood waters went down 5 ton system on the main part of the home would not start up. Contacted the firm and informed them my home had been flooded and I needed an ac running to help in drying the home. Since they have been doing my service and installation work for years they knew the equipment in the home and brought what would be a like replacement. We had not even discussed price, as they have always been better than the market for like equipment when I have checked.
The next morning three trucks show up at my home and the new system was installed. The install was smooth, wiring done very neat and out of the way. The crew even cleaned all areas they worked in, making it cleaner than before, even though the house was a wreck from the flood.
The unit worked well. By the next morning the floors were dry and the smell of stagnant swamp was gone.
This firm is A+

FAQs for sump pump or interior foundation drains installation projects in Carville, LA

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.
