"Waterproofing One did an amazing job installing a French drain, water well, removing an old sump pump that wasn't to code and installing a new one. Every time it would rain we would have water in our basement. After Waterproofing One came out we never saw water! We've had some extremely intense rain the past few months and not one drop of water in the basement! They were professional, reasonably priced, and were done in one day."

"THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, Candan!! Outstanding work was performed by Plumbdogs LLC, and their "Ace Technician, Candan", to get my household heated. I went from having cold pipes/radiators, banging pipes/radiators, gurgling radiators, and half hot/half cold pipes, to a warm, cozy, comfortable, and quiet home. Candan listened, laughed and joked with me, making me feel relaxed with him being in my home. He then quickly went about his business, assessing, diagnosing, and eventually fixing my heating issues, as well as the banging, and gurgling within my radiators and pipes. Time spent in my home was less than an hour. The price was never an issue. It was a completely fair price for service rendered. I will undoubtedly use Plumbdogs LLC again when the need arises. I will definately recommend Plumbdogs LLC, to my friends, and then tell them to pass the recommendation on to their friends. Thank you Plumbdogs LLC."

FAQs for sump pump or interior foundation drains installation projects in Honesdale, PA

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.
