"I used to have sporadic flooding at the front and rear of my townhouse. P&A cleared and upgraded my garage trench drain, installed a sump pump in the garage, and another sump pump at the backyard entrance. Everything looked great but the real test came when we recently had heavy rains. After a full day and a half of storms my neighbor's basement flooded but mine was bone dry. The best part is I could just relax and not worry about bailing water out of my house anymore."

"NYC Plumbing, Heating and Drain provided great service in an emergency and on a Sunday. I was impressed and relieved especially after having contacted several plumbing companies who scheduled me two to three days later. Lazer was courteous and friendly and explained the problem and solution. Thank you!"

"Used them to fix items on an inspection report including boiler relief valves, expansion tank draining and service, check waste water pipe. Great work, and even came back a few days later to drain an old expansion tank that was causing a valve to leak. No charge. Stand by their work and made it right. No complaints to."

"Alfonso showed up promptly for my free estimte which he provided in writing. He told me when the necessary part arrived to call him to install it which I did. He then installed it as promised in under when ordered. He also was very curtius as well. I had gotten other estimates and was told by 1 company to rip up my whole bathroom for over $3000 when all I needed was to change the faucet!!!! I would recommend him to any of you too."

"Anthony is exceptional at his work. He knows right away what needs to be done when you explain the problems. He's also a straight shooter with you on what to do with larger problems to ensure you're using your money properly on how to fix them, which I can appreciate in someone who is thinking more of the well-being of the person/family and their future at that home. I would definitely hire him again for future plumbing matters."

"ENO Plumbing came in and worked until they finished the job , all within a day! Our storm drain was backing up and water would just sit there and next door neighbor always complaining! They were professional. They explained everything that needed to be done including digging further down and replacing drain. They had to cut out the cement to the downspout and then recement! It has since rained and no problems!"

"Got to my place later than expected because they were stuck on another job which is understandable. Did not finish my job until after 12:00 am in the morning. My job took longer than anticipated. I was given one price at the beginning and that's what we anticipated paying because I am on a budget. After the job was finished we were handed a bill that was much more than what was quoted. I was a very upset about that. I know that it took longer and they had to go back and forth to the truck to get supplies, the only thing is I wish I was informed of this during the job so I would know what to do. What if we didn't have the money? Anyway the job was done good and we are pleased with the outcome. So far our sink is working properly and good. We had a double sink installed, the faucet and we have a water omosis machine that had to get hooked up, so it did take a lot of time because piping had to be changed from a single sink to a double. I would recommend this company."

"The sinks are draining well. The stopper is fixed. The toilet was unclogged, but got clogged again the next day. Had to pour Ajax, and let it sit overnight to unclog the toilet again. That is the reason I have given a B, rather than an A"

FAQs for sump pump or interior foundation drains installation projects in Elmhurst, NY

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.
