"Xavier responded promptly and scheduled our replacement sump pump install for the same afternoon. He was ahead of schedule and texted to see if he could come slightly early. That was great! He explained everything, including the warranty. Both gentlemen were friendly. Price was very reasonable."

"As a widow i was extremely nervous to hire contractors to do work I knew nothing about. I was afraid of being ripped-off and not being kept informed. I didn't want to over step my boundaries at the same time. I wanted the job done fast and the right way! Buckeye Waterproofing went above and beyond to make sure i was constantly informed and had the patience to answer every question I had no matter how big or small the question may be.. they were on time everyday except one because there was an accident on the freeway. they kept me in the loop all the way through the job so that i knew what was going on. they cleaned up after themselves on a daily basis and although i was a little skeptical at first, i'm glad i used buckeye waterproofing for this home project. i talked to 2 other companies and 1 was so expensive and the other was 2 hours late for their appointment. I would hire them again 100 times over! My basement is now great and safe for my grand kids instead of them running under my feet all the time. I can store stuff safely with no fear of it being ruined it does not smell and its safe and has no embarrassing odor.

"I had them put in two exterior sump pumps, because my previous pumps were incorrectly installed. My basement was flooding every time we got rain, and so I had Danny of Reliable Waterproofing rout all of the water into the exterior sump pump, and that solved the problem. I would recommend them very highly, I was very happy with the work. Excellent customer service - they did this work in the fall, and over the winter, the hole had settled. They came back in the Spring and repaired the damage for me."

FAQs for sump pump or interior foundation drains installation projects in Lakeview, OH

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.
