"Evangeline Construction was a blessing for my wife and I! We are very new to the area and looking for honest and experienced contractors.

From start to finish, the Evangeline team was transparent, responsive, and committed to making our remodel a quick and easy process, with beautiful results. From floor refinishing, plumbing, lighting, countertops, and customer cabinetry, they did an Amazing job! My wife and I had a clear vision of what we wanted in our new custom kitchen. Danny did a fantastic job delivering on that vision. Because of his experience and skill in cabinet making, there was nothing we couldn’t ask for that he couldn’t accomplish. The custom crown at the end was a great touch as well! Vanessa was extremely responsive! She did a great job scheduling, communicating, and pivoting when necessary. Trust her team! They all work great together, and stayed on task the entire time. Would I recommend them to others? ABSOLUTELY! Without question. Period.

He was also very personable and very friendly. I will call Servant Plumbing and ask that AJ come and do the same job at a condo I own in Mt. Pleasant."

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.
