"Owner showed up with a small crew and a crazy new piece of equipment. Excavated down below my foundation and to the septic tank. Came into the basement and jackhammered the floor. Removed all the old terracotta pipe inside and out. Installed all new PVC pipe all the way down to the septic tank. Put gravel down to protect the new pipe. Poured concrete in the basement to close the floor back up. Only took one day to get the new pipe in. Came back the next to close the ground and floor up. Great experience, basement no longer smell like sewage."

"The company did a good job but there was no communication between the person bidding the job and the people doing the work. They didn't do what we discussed during the bid, but they did come out and fix it and were very prompt."

"We’ve used Tom’s services several times and he has always ensured that our plumbing is in working order before signing off. From our first experience with Metcalf Plumbing fixing a botched shower install by another plumber to removing clogs, I know we can rely on Tom to get the job done. Highly recommend! Thanks for your help!"

"A & V was a life saver. I had no water for days. I called 5 other plumbers and never got a call back. A & V answered right away and even came out the same day. He had me up and running the very same day. Thank you so much for your help."

"Shawn Kozlowski and his crew were amazingly efficient. They completed the job in three days although I had been informed that it would take a week. The job included Installation of foundation wall supports (carbon strapping) and a complete foundation drainage system that includes two sump pumps. Although the work included a great deal of concrete removal using jackhammers, digging, and finally replacing the concrete, everything was done very well. I cannot emphasize enough how clean they left my home and especially my finished basement! Thank you Aquaguard and special thanks to Shawn and his crew! -Tom"

FAQs for sump pump or interior foundation drains installation projects in Ellwood City, PA

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.
