"I recently hired Mike the Plumber for repairs on both my shower and toilet. The job turned out to be more complex than expected, and although there were a few issues early on, I would like to commend the owner for how he handled them. He personally followed up, came out himself, listened to my concerns, and made sure everything was completed properly. That level of hands-on accountability is rare and truly appreciated. Mike the Plumber exceeded my expectations. The work was done with excellence, the pricing was fair, and they are always reliable. I’m very satisfied with the outcome and would confidently recommend them to anyone needing plumbing services. They are a pleasure to do business with."

The ladies at the office Rose and Erika were right, he made me feel so good; even after the estimate. And when we finally got to the part of doing the work; Darren the pluming specialist was amazing!! Fast, polite, clean and neat! I Darren explained each step as he progressed and kept me informed throughout. Amazing,.. this company is # ONE !! Thank you .. John’s Plumbing !! D . Sierra"

FAQs for sump pump or interior foundation drains installation projects in Fort Lauderdale, FL

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.
