"Insulation Co., LLC did an excellent job in cleaning and repairing our crawlspace. All old, torn and worn-out insulation was replaced, holes and gaps were sealed, and a new vapor barrier was installed. The repaired crawlspace looked like new."

"We hired them to install a 40 foot french drain. Eric was very knowledgeable and professional, not to mention a very nice person and good listener. He was punctual and he and his crew were extemely hard workers. The job functions as promised, looks great and they were very conscientious about how they left the work area neat and clean. I wish I could hire them for other projects."

"Let me start off by saying Im super impressed with the install crew Malik, Andy, and Brian. This crew is very professional, personable, and works REALLY hard! Please be sure to convey this to whoever is in their up-line as they each deserve kudos for being great employees and representatives of Groundworks. I was also VERY pleased with our estimator Zaire, he spent a lot of time planning and adjusting to our needs/wants for this project. Very communicative. I highly recommend Groundwork?s! "

"Had a great experience with WA Evergreen Insulation from start to end. Rob came to my house, quoted me an insulation install, made absolutely sure that they would not cover any existing knob and tube with insulation and prevent a fire. The crew showed up and completed the job in one day. Once they got started it was clear they knew exactly what they were doing - and they managed to shimmy into the extremely small attic access and cleaned up my rat jerky in the crawlspace! I'm very happy with this job and with this company!"

"This was by far the absolute worst experience that I have ever had with any company. The plumber came out for a shower that was not draining. I am on septic and let them know that my septic was just pumped in July. However they wanted to check anyways. After checking under the baffle inspection, I was advised by the plumber that my septic tanks were full and needed to be pumped. I contacted a septic company they came out first thing the next morning and checked my septic tanks, they were not full and ironically enough was able to pull out a huge clog of toilet paper from the baffle. He advised this is something that the plumbers do but since we just had one out the day before and they did told us the wrong information he would happily fix the problem for us. My husband called Riley Cahill (the manger) the next day to try to talk to him about the situation and try to find out why we were charged so much since there was not an itemized receipt. Riley proceeded to get very defense and angry and HUNG UP on my husband. He then called back left a message that saying he will check with his plumbers on Monday and get back to us. Monday morning I called Riley Cahill to have a conversation of what went wrong and how we will remedy the situation. He proceeded to once again get very upset, raise his voice and was insanely disrespectful (telling me to be quiet and stop talking). Then hung up on me as well. After that he called back to tell me I was wrong, and hung up on me again. I told him during the conversation that I was going to warn anyone I could not to use this company through reviews, DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!!!!"

"Hunt’s Services is outstanding. It is a company that strives for excellence in every detail. The scheduling system for appointments is excellent with courtesy text/email reminders. Plus, we received a personal phone call on the scheduled day with an estimated time of arrival for the technicians which is pretty darn accurate considering the heavy local traffic congestion this summer."

FAQs for sump pump or interior foundation drains installation projects in Federal Way, WA

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.
