"Mr. Gentry was negligent in the installation of the sump pumps by not drilling weep holes for the sump pumps in the PVC pipes per the installation instructions. This caused the sump pumps to malfunction and my basement to flood. Mr. Gentry was out of town when my basement flooded and I called Four Seasons to fix the sump pumps. Four Seasons did so by drilling the weep holes in the PVC pipes. In addition he found a microfiber rag wrapped around the battery pump which must have been dropped by Mr. Gentry during installation. This rag also prohibited the pump from activating. The cost for Four Seasons was $572. My basement was damaged by the flood and we hired Parkside Restoration to remove the damaged carpeting and baseboards. They set up 20 air movers and 2 large dehumidifiers for 4 days. The cost was $4,470. As the water had seeped up the walls, I had to repaint the basement at a cost of $236. I did the painting myself. The new carpet cost is $4,183. Mr. Gentry charge was $3,300 for the sump pumps installation plus some additional plumping work. Contact with Mr. Gentry was made via email on Sept 8, 2024 to which he responded about how much money I was looking for to which I responded that I had not looked @ carpeting yet and would contact him when I had a final amount. My 2nd contact with Mr. Gentry was on October 16, 2024 when he stated that he only warrants his work for 1 year and the flooding occurred 16 months later so he would not assume any responsibility. I told him the pump failure was caused by his negligence to drill weep holes in the PVC pipes per installation instructions. I again contacted Mr. Gentry via text on October 18, 2024 to attempt to settle. He called and stated he would call me on October 21, 2024. We did not hear back from Mr. Gentry again. I would like total reimbursement for the damages to my basement of $9,461 which includes the costs of Four Seasons $572, Parkside Restoration $4,470, paint $236 and carpet $4,183 totaling $9,461."

"Had a bad leak coming through my ceiling drywall so I cut out an area to see where it was leaking from. Service King called and immediately came out to check the problem. It was leaking from the upstairs bathtub drainpipe. We set up an appointment right away. They came out on time, extracted the old brass waste and overflow assembly for my upstairs tub in a couple of hours. They also found a leak in another water pipe above the ceiling and changed a leaking supply line for my toilet. Was very happy with the work done and would recommend them for any plumbing work to be done."

Sump pumps last about 10 years with proper maintenance and prompt repairs. Several factors can influence your sump pump’s lifespan, such as usage, environmental conditions, and installation. Premium sump pumps with heavy-duty motors and quality components tend to last longer than lower-cost models. Pedestal sump pumps usually last longer than submersible models since they’re not constantly exposed to water.
A basement French drain is a drainage system installed in basements or around a building’s foundation to redirect water and prevent flooding. This system features a trench with a perforated pipe that catches and transports water away. These systems can crack, freeze, or clog, potentially resulting in flooding or strain on your sump pump.
You can use a sump pump in your yard to minimize pooling water and landscape damage, but it’s best used in conjunction with other drainage systems. This can include French drains, trench drains, underground downspouts, and other equipment. Proper lawn care, such as soil aeration and native plants, also aids with drainage.
