"Jacob thoroughly looked over everything; water lines, gas line, igniter, gas valve, connections, etc.. He took the time to make sure everything was working properly and even educated me on a few things I didn't know."

"They did a really good job waterproofing my basement. The crew was professional, arrived on time, and explained the entire process before getting started, and completed the job with great attention to detail. It's clear they take pride in their work. I'd definitely recommend them if you need your basement waterproofed."

"Maurice responded within 30 seconds of my Angi "request for quote" being submitted. He came out to clear an exterior area drain the next morning (by our request), even though they offered to come that same evening. He was courteous and professional, and successfully cleared the blockage. The cost was competitive and of very good value compared to two others I received. We'd certainly call, again. Thank you!"

"Requested a service call at 10:20 this morning. Randy called me at 10:30. I described the problem I was experiencing. He asked if 1:00 this afternoon would work. He arrived promptly at 1:00. Randy quickly diagnosed the problem which was the lid switch. He installed it in 15 minutes. Randy was friendly, knowledgeable and professional. I would certainly call American Appliance again for any appliance repair needs."

FAQs for sump pump or interior foundation drains installation projects in East Saint Louis, 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.
