"Grant and Mark came out and raised my front steps by about 4” in back and 2” in front and then raised the areas around it so that there was a smooth transition once again. The area looks incredible and they had some clever ways to make their footprint invisible to the passerby. I’m more than happy with the outcome! Thanks guys!!!"

"Wind River Exteriors did a fabulous job remodeling our garage. They called me and came out to give us an estimate very quickly when no other contractor in the area would even consider the job, which is OK because I rather give my hard earned money to someone that actually cares. The job itself went smooth with no major hiccups or problems. They listened to us and gave us exactly what we wanted. They arrived to work on time, and on the days they said they were going to be here. They worked in extreme heat, and even on weekends to get our job done for us in time. They cleaned up the construction debris and did not leave any messes. Geroge, Justin, Eugene and the entire crew were a pleasure to work with. Would HIGHLY recommend Wind River for your next project!"

Just small nits on communication."

"Donald was great. Showed up on time, gave me a call letting me know he was on his way. He went the extra mile in terms of trying to get my line opened up. We had to use a jetter because it was in corrugated pipe and a regular snake would've damaged the line. In the end, we couldn't get the line opened but that was because we found a drywell in the middle of the run."

FAQs for sump pump or interior foundation drains installation projects in Cottage Grove, MN

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.
