"Very professional. I had a sump pump and backup pump installed as well as a hot water heater. Both guys did a great job. Both items are working beautifully. My husband and I could not be more pleased. Done Right Today will be the company we call with our next plumbing problem."

"Amazing! The crew was on-site within 3 hours of my 8:00 AM phone call to replace my sump pump. My sump pump runs every 15 minutes, on a dry day, so it was critical to get expedited service and Delaware Plumbing Professionals were fantastic! Highly recommend"

"the installation was done perfectly. The crew (Tony and Brian) arrived on time and wore shoe covers before entering, then they laid dropcloths down to protect my basement steps and hallway. The oil burner was disconnected first and carried out to their truck with precision. the old oil burner was a monster of a machine and the new weil maclain gas model paled in comparison, but works outstanding. the only blemish that i saw was when they sprung a leak in one of the cold water supply lines and had to utilize the main shutoff valve. otherwise, Between the sales associate(Paul Bistline), the main office, and the install team, this company does everything right from start to finish. i highly recommend them to everyone that's looking for a reputable company with lots of experience and a knowledgeable staff. This is the company to beat"

"From the estimate process until final product finished today, we could not be happier with BQ Initially was quoted a 2 day process to complete our Aquastop waterproofing system and sump pump replacement, Steve, Curtis, Pedro, and Josh arrived as promised at 7:30 and completed the job by 1:30. They explained the entire process and updated us throughout. They were very professional, efficient, and polite. Everything was explained about the new system and cleanup has the basement back to pre construction condition. We highly recommend BQ Basements and Concrete!"

FAQs for sump pump or interior foundation drains installation projects in Clifton Heights, PA

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.
