"Brayden arrived sooner than expected but gave a heads up phone call he was on his way, so not surprised. I Thought I had a clogged sewer pipe in the basement. Did a lot of testing but could get water to back up. Said that there does not appear to be any clogging issue. Gave me two optional estimates or quotes to either treat the drains or do a complete clean-out just in case, no pressure, said no thanks for now but we would watch and call we had evidence of clog. Said no charge. :)"

"They have been out for the electrical. They have been out for the pool. They have been out for the sump pump. Its the fee for the service call. We have used them for the last 3 years. If you have an appliance that you think needs replaced they will not replace it they will repair it to death. They are very responsive. Some of the people they send out are great, some are okay."

"This was an outstanding experience from my perspective.  The estimate process went smoothly, and David was very upfront about how he/his company does business.  The final price came in according to the estimate, and I appreciate that he gave me real estimate numbers, versus lower numbers that would inflate through the course of the project.
David, Ric, Ben and Cole did a great job throughout the project.  I felt comfortable with them in my house, whether I was in the house or not.  The initial demo of the guest bath began Oct 26, 2012.  All the major work for both the guest bath and main bath was completed by Dec 16, 2012.  Final touch-ups were completed on Dec 26, 2012.
David was extremely responsive via phone/email during the project (where I was away much of the time).  I had several questions along the way and he was always polite in answering them.  I also have an attention to detail that can be annoying to others, and again, David, Ric, Ben and Cole were polite/responsive when I asked questions or pointed out minor concerns.
I have a smaller home with a single-car driveway, and Ethos worked around that by hauling away demo trash/debris every night.  They set up their workshop in the garage.  Also, they cleaned up the worksites every day (except near the end of the project, when I suggested that they didn't need to in order to save time).
There were a couple of days where I didn't see progress, but after a quick phone call to David, he would be able to explain all the "behind the scenes" work that had occurred, and it made sense to me.  The guys worked both Saturday and Sunday (Dec 15 and Dec 16) in order for me to be ready for guests on Christmas.
Hindsight being 20/20, I wouldn't schedule a remodel this close to the holidays again.  It was stressful having the house in disarray, trying to prepare for Christmas/wrap presents/bake, clean, etc. etc. with remodeling going on.  However, David said they would complete the work in 3 weeks, and by working through the last weekend, they did complete the work in that timeframe.
I highly recommend Ethos and will work with them again.  They were honest, cared about the work they performed, communicated well, and treated me (and all my questions) with courtesy and respect.  Plus they have great senses of humor (a must, in my world).
Also, I think that the project facts speak for themselves - 2 bathroom remodels in 3 weeks on budget.  What more could a client ask for?

FAQs for sump pump or interior foundation drains installation projects in Effingham, KS

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.
