"He did a very nice job; they are very good and dependable people.  He is very professional and he has an office here at Metairie Road  and he has a cell phone so it is easy to get in touch with him either through the office or the phone.  They did very good work and workmanship was good.  It was kind of delayed to finish it because of the weather outside; he had some other business too, s lot of other customers.  Everything went well and I even had some additional work for him.  I had him do the patio.  He had to take the old patio out and put a new one in plus he took care of the hurricane damage.  He did a good job.  He picked up the patio bill from the refill people. He has two or three workers who actually did all the work.  Price seemed to be reasonable.  As for punctuality we had a lot of bad weather, they had to work around that."

FAQs for sump pump or interior foundation drains installation projects in Empire, LA

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.
