"They were on time and did really good quality work. The work was done fast and it had started raining during the time they were working, but it didn't stop or slow them down. I couldn't have ask for a better company to do my work. It's such a joy to find a company that you can trust to do a great job at a very fair price. They will be the first company I call if I need anymore plumbing done in the future. This was the second time that I have had them do work for us and I couldn't be more pleased. If you're looking for a company that you can trust to do top quality work for a really good price. Look no further."

"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!"

"Mr Earl and Mr Mike with Stewie's drain cleaning were fantastic. Customer service was fabulous. Although I thought only one drain was clogged from my laundry room, the gentleman checked my water drain flow in my kitchen and saw that it was stopped up from that section of piping in my foundation too - they were wonderful in cleaning out both sections of the pipe for the same price originally quoted. My stoppage from my laundry drain clean out is now resolved and my sink drains super fast! Thank you gentlemen for a job well done."

"We had to wait a while for InTouch to begin our work.  We had originally not been on any particular schedule, but noticed that others jobs seemed to jump ahead of ours.  We were about to contact other companies when they actually scheduled our work.
InTouch was one of three companies we contacted for estimates.  Theirs was actually the highest, but they seemed to be the most thorough so we were not expecting any surprise additional costs.  Thankfully, there were no unexpected costs, but there were some delays and things that had to be redone.
I was a bit disappointed that the owner was not on site more than he was.  He seemed to come by from time to time, but overall there was simply a crew of his workers with limited English language skills.
They washed, primed, and painted the entire exterior of my house.  They did the majority of the work quickly, but then seemed to let the finishing touches lag behind.  The job took a bit longer than we expected because the crew seemed to have moved on to some other job.  They did a good job -- not a great job, but most likely better than other contractors we spoke with.
They also did some minor carpentry work and painted one room in my house.  This interior work was an "add on" after they began the other work.
Based on the other painting contractors I had contacted, I will *probably* use InTouch again.  Overall, I would rate them an A- or B+.

FAQs for sump pump or interior foundation drains installation projects in Donaldsonville, 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.
