"I am very pleased with the work done and with the employees. CJ came out first and deeply reviewed everything and gave me a thorough explanation of what was happening to my home and how they could fix it. Then, the workers - Rene Renteria, Martin Rodriquez and Daniel Garcia came to the home and four days later everything was done! These guys worked very hard and cleaned up after themselves each day. They did a quality job and I'm now very confident in the stability of my home and foundation. I recommend them to anyone needing similar work. Note: The gals I spoke to in the Groundworks office were just as pleasant as the guys I met. They were all very easy to work with and were very pleasant people. They really wanted to satisfy me, their customer. :) I'll call them first next time if I need anything else."

"Epp installed an interior floor drain and vapor barrier on one of our walls in the basement, as one of the walls had small cracks and was letting in some water. They got to our job right away. The crew was courteous, professional and efficient. They fixed the problem and we no longer have water problems. We would highly recommend Epp."

"Vortex Filtration Inc is a excellent company with vast experience & knowledge in conditioning potable well water. I recommend Vortex Filtration Inc to design build and install their patented Vortex water system to solved all well water conditioning issues. My client had a problem for over tens years prior to the installation of the Vortex system. Once installed, the well water in the holding tank was crystal clear. Thanks Vortex!"

"AHS is ok. They cover repairs of most everything under the roof of your house. The companies that contract with them are not always the best. You call AHS with the issue, they send a fax to the repair company and give you the contact info. If they don't contact you within 24 hours, you call them. Sometimes they answer, sometimes they don't. When they arrive (usually three days or so later), they service the item. if it has issues within the 90 days, you call AHS again, they are sent out with no charge. If the serviceman decides the unit is unrepairable, AHS will allow you to choose a replacement from their listing (usually not as good as what you have) they will install and remove your old item, or give you wholesale amount to buy and install your own. Prices vary on what you want covered and what you want the copay to be, plus where you live. For me it is 49.99 per month with a 75.00 time of service order. You can have more than one item serviced at the same time under the same fee. If you have a SEAR product the repair guys are great. Not that wild about the other ones they send out. But it is a big savings compared to calling someone on your own. The cost of service is only the 75.00 copay."

"George was very respectful and courteous in my house when he remodeled my bathroom due to the fact that I have a shelter dog who was mistreated and he tried his best to help keep my dog calm while he was working. The finished product was well worth the money and at a fair rate. When he left it was like he was never even there no trash or debris left. I would recommend him to anyone looking to have house work done. 10/10 would hire again"

FAQs for sump pump or interior foundation drains installation projects in Lincoln, NE

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.
