"This is the second time I've hired DB's Plumbing & Drain and I continue to be very happy with them. This time, there were two problems: A main sump pump that had died and a backup sump pump I had connected with flexible tubing which began springing pinhole leaks within months and spraying water all over the room. DB's swapped the dead pump with a spare I had on-hand and reattached the backup pump to the outflow pipe with standard PVC piping. They also joined both pumps to the main pump's larger outflow pipe with a Y-junction which should improve the backup's rate of flow. While they were at it, they replaced the check valves and disposed of a lot of rusty nails and junk that had been swept into the sump pit over the years. All told it only took 2 hours and now everything is quieter, no water spraying around and I have peace of mind that the place isn't going to flood in the next winter storm."

"I am currently overseas and have tenants residing at my property, who noted plumbing and possibly Sump Pump issues...I figured that probably the Sump Pump was on its last leg. Since I used FH Furr for A/C and heating service in the past, I decided to use them--based on great Angie's List ratings and reviews. Upon contacting F H Furr, the young man who answered the phone, Tony, just kept rambling on about great deals and special offers...I felt that I was dealing with a used-car salesman in a lemon lot. I kept telling him to stop "selling" me on things I don't need. I kept reiterating to him: please dispatch a technician out to my house so he/she can assess the plumbing situation, and provide me a written estimate. The Technician, Jimmy Bevens, was very responsive in terms of returning my phone calls, answering all my questions and giving me his professional advice and assessment. He was very prompt in terms of coordinating with my tenants and property managers to gain access to the house, and servicing my plumbing issue. After receiving the estimate for the purchase and installation of a new Sump Pump, I gave the green light for Mr. Bevens to install a new Sump Pump. I wrote an email to Tony and the F H Furr Customer Service email where I specifically stated that I need F H Furr to provide me with an itemized estimate & receipt outlining the specific type of Sump Pump (I clearly noted in my email the exact make & model...I also asked for the serial number of the Sump Pump just in case their is ever a factory recall, etc). Mr. Bevens installed the Sump Pump, but F H Furr failed to provide me with the make, model and serial number, as requested in my email to Tony. I called back and got Tony on the phone. He was extremely aloof and non-apologetic...almost arrogant and just told me to "leave a message with the Customer Relations." I left a voicemail with their Customer Relations, where I requested a call back--I never received it. Long story short, Mr. Bevens was great, but F H Furr Customer Service and their "slick talking" sales personnel are completely unprofessional. If you're looking for professional and responsive, then F H Furr should not be on the top of your list of companies. I recommend that they think twice about overselling folks on items or services they don't really need, and focus on paying attention to detail when customers specifically ask for a simple itemized inventory. Again, the technician was great, but their Customer Relations department needs to reassess how they treat customers. In all fairness, a few days after the installation of the Sump Pump, my tenants heard noise from the Sump Pump and called the company. The same Technician, Jimmy, came back to house and fixed the issue--since it was under a 3-year warranty for all parts and labor. The Technician receives an above-average grade, but their Customer Relations Dept needs improvement...I would be hard-pressed to use F H Furr again."

"Darren, the Salesman, was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. Very low pressure sale tactics, but laid out all of the options for you. The crew came and finished installing a new heat pump and heat exchanger in a half day and then another individual returned the next day to install a new water heater. Great communication and attention to detail every step of the way! Would highly recommend!"

"I donâ t know where to start. Andy Clark and Bruce Crane along with four other guys came to my home for a septic pipe that broke underground. Those guys went above and beyond. I donâ t believe any other guys or company would have did this job for the price they gave us. Thank you so much for your professionalism and knowledge. It had to be over one hundred years of experience in the ground working in my backyard. They fixed a major backup messy nasty issue and I just canâ t thank them enough. For ALL my plumbing needs John C Flood is the best. Thanks fellas!"

FAQs for sump pump or interior foundation drains installation projects in Merrifield, VA

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.
