"Customer service was great. The tech arrived early, was very friendly and answered all my questions. He installed a new EZ Breathe for our basement. He was done removing the old unit and putting in the new one in about half an hour. he also took the time to show me how the new one works. I felt very comfortable with the directions he gave me and we are already seeing the difference with the new unit..."

"I paid Jim nearly $400 to replace a sump pump. A few months later it was running constantly and he did come out twice.. for 2 minutes each time and did NOTHING! I had to pay Roto Rooter who diagnosed the issue in the first minute as a problem with the check valve. After coming out, Jim refused my calls and didn’t return any messages. I had referred many people to his business. Now I will let everyone know his true lack of follow up and knowledge since he had no idea of what was wrong. Don’t waste your money here!"

FAQs for sump pump or interior foundation drains installation projects in Lewiston, NY

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.
