"Finally an honest Solar company!! I went through several companies trying to get quotes for one of my properties, either they were ridiculously expensive or they didn't return my calls. A friend of mine referred me to Mega Sun and I have to say I am very pleased. Within a couple days from the initial phone call I already had an estimate and once i decided to go with them the installation was completed in one week. Its been a little over a month since they completed the install and everything is working smoothly.

I was amazed at just how great the customer service was. I just want to say thank you to the whole team who helped out, I really appreciate all your hard work. Now I know you guys are the ones to call for all future jobs."

"Mr. Rooter took the time to explain the problem to us and evaluate options taking care to identify ways to save costs. Based on our experience with them, we've asked them to help us determine how to install a sump in the basement because of flooding and a washer/dryer hookup. We will continue to use them as they are prompt, polite, and professional."

"Although I'm outside their area at North Lake Tahoe, I opted to have them do my remodel because of their reputation. They agreed to put a lot of miles on to do the work and I am very happy they did. The work was of excellent quality and they had no issues dealing with the unique code and BMP requirements of the TRPA and Placer County for the Tahoe area. All the requirements were met for each of the inspections along the way. One of the requirements is to complete any construction that impacts the ground surface before October 15th so they had a deadline to get most of the work done. I also wanted to get the roof on before it started to snow. Because my house was originally built in the 1960s, the existing structure was not up to current code for snow loads. They retrofitted the common wall and did all the electrical work for lighting, power, and the automatic garage door. There were a few of the usual unforeseen extra materials cost but all in all they kept costs in check. The tree stumps were particularly stubborn to remove but they worked late and on into the weekend to help minimize the equipment rental period. They also did some additional reinforcement that went beyond what was in the plans. The garage extended out to the setback from the property line and because of the slope of the roof I wasn't sure if I could utilize the larger space for two vehicles or not. I was very happy that I had plenty of room for both my ski boat and a car. The exterior blended in perfectly with the rest of the house once it was painted. Tom and Steve are a great team and work very efficiently together.

I recommend Vortex Filtration Inc to design build and install their patented Vortex water system to solved all well water conditioning issues.

"Our technician, Dameyan Jackson, called the night before the day of service to let me know the time that he would be here to service our system. On Friday, he called to let me know that he was available to come earlier than scheduled, if I would like. He arrived shortly after the phone call, came in and quickly recognized that the pump had failed. He was very knowledgeable and professional. I was very pleased with his service and look forward to him returning to install a new pump."

FAQs for sump pump or interior foundation drains installation projects in Nevada City, CA

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.
