"We contacted Advantage Plumbing through Angie's List to get a quote on installing 3 new toilets, getting a leaky shower fixed and seeing if they could diagnose a noisy pipe problem. They were one of the few to respond and give us a quote and options and a time frame when work could be done. We scheduled a time and Mike came in within his quoted time and started work. After getting 2 toilets that we purchased installed, he found after he installed the 3rd that the toilet itself was faulty and leaking. Being in a bind, Mike was able to purchase a new toilet for us, verifying that it was good before purchase, and get it installed. He fixed our leaky shower and repaired our faucet(that we installed). He explained how the old leaking toilets was the cause of the noisy pipe problem and that we shouldn't have a problem any more. Later on we found that our kitchen faucet still had a leak. We contacted Mike and he came in and told us that the original install(by us non-professionals) was not done properly. When we originally installed the faucet we did not do a great job which is why, when he initially repaired it, it broke shortly after the repair. Mike installed a new faucet that we purchased and even offered to refund us part of the fee because it was not repaired properly the first time. A true professional, knowledgeable plumber. We would hire again without hesitation."

FAQs for sump pump or interior foundation drains installation projects in Crescent, IA

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.
