"HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!! We just had a French drain installed along with a new sump pump and pit in our basement and had the floors epoxyed afterwards. The project manager, Kenny, was absolutely amazing. From the very beginning he explained everything that their team would be doing, gave me updates throughout the day. If I had a question or concern Kenny was patient with me and continued to make sure any questions/concerns were addressed, even telling me to call him if I thought of any other questions. Their crew was very respectful of the property by making sure to lay out tarps to protect the floors, and made all attempts to manage the noise since we were home. Whatever was left in the basement they made sure to cover and protect. And if something needed to be moved they moved it and moved it back. When it came time to lay down the epoxy there was a scheduling hiccup. Kenny though went out of his way to make it right by coming right after another job and staying late to make sure we're stayed on schedule since I was having out of town guests coming that weekend and needed access to the basement. Working with Select Basement, but especially Kenny, made this one of the best experiences and I highly recommend them. 10 out of 10!"

"We have worked with Quality First Basement for 20 years. First job was the triple sump pump which has been excellent. Next was the refinishing of our basement. Another superb product and experience. Today we had new flooring installed. Once again, the product and workers were excellent! They were on time and so respectful. The floor is so attractive. This is a company that has only gotten better over the years! I highly recommend it! Rachel Padian"

"Q: When you need a pool company to repair some external PVC filter system valves, but they are all backlogged because it's the beginning of swim season what do you do? A: You call NJ Pro Plumbing LLC because the owner, Brady, is prompt, courteous and has the expertise to repair/replace PVC pipes and valves. Brady is a man of his word, the price quoted is the price I paid, and the job was completed correctly and on time...my pool pump is up and running again!"

"I feel confident in Ryan and Sons’ knowledge and expertise in caring for my 250-year-old house. They have serviced my water softener, hot water heat, furnace, as well as performed other services that come up in an old house. Their communication is excellent, sending emails and calling so I know when to expect them. With a service plan on my water system, I get a discount on other services , too - you can’t beat that! Highly recommend!"

"We were matching with David at All Clear Plumbing by chance on Home Advisor when we needed an emergency plumber. And we are so lucky we did!! The project ended up being SO MUCH BIGGER than we had initially anticipated, and David took care of every detail professionally and carefully. He is super reasonably priced and totally honest. In addition to the issue we had first seen, David also figured out what was causing the main problems and fixed that for us as well. We could not be happier with the quality of his work, and he is a pleasure to work with. Highly recommend!"

FAQs for sump pump or interior foundation drains installation projects in Hackettstown, NJ

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.
