"My sump pump was stuck on and running so I called the plumbers. They had it turned off and replaced the switch or wiring in the one day they were here. They were quick polite and well rounded. 5 out of 5 service all around."

"Mr. Dimmett (Lee) came to my house promptly and gave me an estimate. My roof was over 20 years old, plus it had the original layer underneath. I also had a gable over my garage door which had perpetually peeling paint, and I wanted it covered in vinyl siding. Lee explained in detail what he would do, and what materials he would use. He said it would be about a month and a half before he could do the job. He explained that he is very busy at this time of year, and that he uses a small crew. He left me sample books for both the shingles and the siding. His price seemed reasonable, and was substantially less than one of the "big" companies which also gave me an estimate. <br /> Right at 45 days or so, Lee and his crew started the job. It took several days. Lee addressed several details, such as painting a rusted kitchen vent, and installing a boot on the electrical service entrance which was only caulked previously. He told me my decking was in great condition, but he installed extra protection in critical areas anyway. He removed the stair-step flashing around the chimney and replaced it with a straight piece, which looks much better. He removed a power attic vent and installed ridge venting. He installed 35-year GAF Timberline HD shingles. The weather turned very cold and we got some snow as he was finishing the roof. He came back at the first opportunity and covered the gable with siding. He suggested a fake gable vent to dress up the gable, and threw that in for free. <br /> My house looks a lot better than it did before. The dimensional shingles look great, as does the siding and vent on the gable. Plus I'll never have to paint the gable again. Lee and his crew were very friendly and knowledgeable. They did a very thorough cleanup. I mowed the yard afterward and did not find any nails or debris. <br /> I am a bit concerned that some of the shingles are not lying flat. Lee assures me they will seal down when the weather gets warmer. Also, there is a smudge/scrape on the new white siding. Lee said he would come by and take care of that, but he hasn't yet. <br /> I highly recommend Mr. Dimmett. He seems to be an honest, down-to-earth individual who takes pride in his work and does an outstanding job. I trust him and his crew. I plan to hire him again soon to replace a window. <br />"

"AHS is ok. They cover repairs of most everything under the roof of your house. The companies that contract with them are not always the best. You call AHS with the issue, they send a fax to the repair company and give you the contact info. If they don't contact you within 24 hours, you call them. Sometimes they answer, sometimes they don't. When they arrive (usually three days or so later), they service the item. if it has issues within the 90 days, you call AHS again, they are sent out with no charge. If the serviceman decides the unit is unrepairable, AHS will allow you to choose a replacement from their listing (usually not as good as what you have) they will install and remove your old item, or give you wholesale amount to buy and install your own. Prices vary on what you want covered and what you want the copay to be, plus where you live. For me it is 49.99 per month with a 75.00 time of service order. You can have more than one item serviced at the same time under the same fee. If you have a SEAR product the repair guys are great. Not that wild about the other ones they send out. But it is a big savings compared to calling someone on your own. The cost of service is only the 75.00 copay."

FAQs for sump pump or interior foundation drains installation projects in Mackey, IN

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.
