"Greg came to inspect the setup that Foundation Recovery Systems installed last year. It was discovered that one of our sump pump was damaged. Thankfully, he was able to repair it and get it running properly."

".He quickly identified the problem and went over some options for new sump pump. He then went and purchased one for me, brought it back and replaced it.  Worked very quickly and got new pump installed.  Very professional and responded in a timely matter when I called for appointment. I have used Gary McKinney Plumbing in the past and will do so in the future if other problems occur."

"We called Martin's Plumbing to put a new faucet on our kitchen sink. They showed up when they said they would and put it on, even though they were trying to catch up on work because of cold weather.
We had a small leak under the sink for quite some time. Other plumbers said it was just the valve leaking and basically ignored it. When the Martin's were under the sink putting in the faucet they saw it and said the valve could be the problem and that it might be a crack in the plastic pipe leading up to the faucet. They replaced the valve and the pipe, no more leak.
They had to spend more time than they had planned to install the kitchen faucet because of the other issues under the sink.
Their plumbing skills, friendly attitude and effort to communicate and describe what they are doing and any potential problem areas is extremely refreshing. We certainly intend to call them first for any additional services we might need and would highly recommend them to anyone needing a plumber.

FAQs for sump pump or interior foundation drains installation projects in Girard, KS

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.
