"Highly recommend this company. They responded quickly to my inquiry and were very professional in their presentation. Justin went above and beyond in installation of the sump pump which I purchased from him. He found a few things which needed to be corrected and he corrected them. Very much appreciated his efforts to make things safer and more efficient for me. If further water proofing is necessary Liebenow Waterproofing would be the first company I would call."

"GREAT! Got home Friday afternoon and discovered water in the basement. The hose for the drain pan for the water heater was plugged and the pan had holes in it, water everywhere. Shut off the water and started to mop up when I realized - FRIDAY NIGHT = Find a plumber. All closed. Finally found one that was still answering the phone. Plumb Right answered the phone and promised someone in a half hour. Pricing seemed reasonable, what choice did I really have. They were here by 5:30pm and finished around 7:30pm. First plumber got here and started cleaning up and removing the old tank and about 45 minutes later the second plumber showed with the new tank. We had to clean up the water and find a new drain pan and then they corrected the plumbing problems created by the last installation. They really knew what they were doing and took great care to keep the house clean and then cleaned up after themselves. Did I mention that it was below zero. I expected the final bill would be more than they quoted, but it was exactly what they quoted. There was a charge for after hours, but considering the competition (there was none) even my wife was happy. Erik and Devon were super nice and I just stayed out of their way. It was the best experience I have had with a plumber in years."

"We had a humidifier installed. They installed it quickly and professionally. The installer Jimmy was very helpful and even gave me a couple pointers in regards to installing a wifi thermostat. I've always had great experiences with Kath/Aquarius home services and will definitely use them again."

"They had to come in and install a sump pump. The project was very messy but the workers were very nice and friendly. They worked very hard to stay on schedule. My basement turned out perfect and now when it rains my basement stays dry. Very professional and get the job done in a timely manner."

"He didn't have the supplies needed so he had to run to the hardware store to get more supplies. The quoted cost of $175.00 ended up at $330 which was a lot more than I wanted to pay for the install. The toilet also ended up a 1/2 inch above the floor with a lot of clear sealant around the toilet and I couldn't use the toilet for 3 days while I had to wait for the sealant to dry. I need to clean up around the toilet as their is a bunch of clear sealant around the toilet, however, the toilet does work and the job was completed. He didn't seem confident that the toilet wouldn't leak after the install, but thankfully it doesn't. I would have preferred someone with more confidence in their work."

"Dave did an excellent job with the work I needed done. He's very professional and knows his stuff! I thought the price was a little on the expensive side, but maybe that's just the going rate for a plumber. He also was able to repair our garbage disposal which saved us the cost of getting new one installed, so that did help. I would probably hire again."

"I purchased the Angie's List $99 faucet install deal.  Vincent replied to the email within 24 hours.  I set up the appointment for less than a week later.  He ran a little late on a previous appointment and got caught in traffic, but the job was completed by the end of the business day.  The new faucet works great.  Vincent installed as described and did a good job.  I would use him again.  Thanks!

FAQs for sump pump or interior foundation drains installation projects in Lake Elmo, MN

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.
