"It was a custom job, a big shower, but the sales guys reassured me that I would get a finished product and all I would have to do was paint the ceiling. He said it would be about 3 days, but the job took 7 days and ran into my son's 7th birthday party. The first mistake we noticed was that the walls were not level and the grout lines were off. We called the installer and they rushed back and pulled the wall down. The seal between the two walls never fit quite the same after that. Then we noticed on the back wall behind the bench that it was bolted to the green board and not wooden framework, and the greenboard had already begun cracking from sitting on it a few times just to test it. So they came back and hammered a 2x6 in there and acted like it was no big deal. The concrete poured under the base of the tub didn't meet the outside edge or the corners and instead shims were left in place that came loose, causing the tub to dip and the caulk to crack. So I hammered in my own shim and poured the concrete myself, repairing the caulk afterward. Water is still pooling in the far right corner of the pan but there's nothing I can do about that. The hole cut in the ceiling for the can light was off center so I had to widen it to get the light in there. Because of this, it was too wide to make a proper seal and I had to caulk around the outside edge of the light. Neither of the shower heads had a washer in them and both were leaking. The hot and cold are backwards. The ceiling was not caulked, nor the trim along the windows, not the trim around the outside edge of the shower where it meets the drywall. This was done after I spent a couple days building the drywall up on both sides, four layers of mudd and sanding to properly level and prepare it. In all I probably spent five or six days on the shower installation that I was told would be done in three days, and all I would have to do was paint the ceiling. Instead I'm pouring concrete, caulking, mudding, painting and texturing, cutting baseboards and I'm slow at it because I'm a nurse and not a carpenter. That's why I wanted to hire professionals. And I told them they owed me some money back, a figure that was around 40% and the manager told me he would call me on Monday and that was over two Mondays ago. The project took a long time to get started, it took a long time to get finished, it was not done right, it was not done professionally, and it was not the finished product I was promised."

"Please do not use this company. They are not friendly or willing to communicate. They don't care about customer service. The owner refused to discuss my issue with me. On my rental property, we had issues with outlets. My renter said they checked the breaker panel and nothing was tripped. Being that anything else is above my knowledge base, I called Fielder Electric to come out to help trouble shoot, come to find out it was indeed just a tripped breaker. They spent all of 3 minutes in my house to simply flip a switch and charged me $85 to come out there (which is fine and fair to cover the trip), but they refused to have a discussion about reducing the additional $85 full hour service charge, which totaled $170 all in, for them to flip a switch. I feel like I got robbed. There was no sympathy on the situation and basically got fully paid to do basically no work. They didn't care if they were there for only 1 minute and did no work at all. I was told "it is what it is," by the secretary and I was told the owner refused to speak or allow me to email with him. I would go with any other electrician that is willing to communicate and work with their customers and at least be heard."

FAQs for sump pump or interior foundation drains installation projects in East Alton, IL

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.
