"Kurt of Koegel Plumbing & Heating Solutions in Miltona MN is the most detail oriented professional plumber I have ever had work in my home. He responded within a day of my email inquiry and was able to meet me about a week later at my home to review the project. He said he was interested in performing the work and he meant it. He explained what would be done and took electronic notes for each repair site in the house. I then asked him to look at the existing 10 year old natural gas boiler which had recently been causing problems regarding faulty ignition, a cold zone, and short cycling. He expressed concern regarding that boiler’s installation as many components and pipes from the original 1964 oil burning boiler were still in place. I then requested a boiler replacement proposal too. Subsequently two detailed proposals were presented to me for the whole house water filtration system installation plus various repairs including a new well tank and a separate proposal for a new 85% efficient boiler system including justification (problem list of the current system) for a smaller more appropriate boiler in a 2500 square foot house and all new peripheral components including thermostats plus antifreeze which was not in the existing system. I accepted both proposals and work began less than two weeks later when mild winter weather was forecast. Some of the new boiler fabrication was done at Kurt’s business to minimize time without heat in my house. All of the major components were brought to my house day one of the two day project. Filter, well tank, and repairs were done day one requiring perhaps four hours of no useable house water. Boiler installation on day two went smoothly too and house heat was off for about six hours. The new compact LAARS Mini-Therm boiler, glistening copper pipes, tank, pump and four zone controllers was a work of art and lights out better than the previous system. All four zones were labeled and shut off valves were placed where needed. Kurt worked with a three year apprentice Ethan. They returned on day three to inspect their work, orient me to the new systems, label turn off valves and verify that the new boiler was running and heating the house properly which it was of course. In one week antifreeze will be added to the heating system water. Drop sheets were used on the floors, cleanup was complete, COVID19 face masks were worn and the whole plumbing experience was outstanding at a fair and honest price. Office communication and documentation were excellent. Thank you Kurt and Ethan for a job well done."

"We had a humidifier installed. They installed it quickly and professionally. The installer Jimmy was very helpful and even gave me a couple pointers in regards to installing a wifi thermostat. I've always had great experiences with Kath/Aquarius home services and will definitely use them again."

FAQs for sump pump or interior foundation drains installation projects in Evansville, MN

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.
