Customers say: Quick response

"Gert Visser has been my trusted, go-to plumber for over 10 years. He has recently taken the “plunge” ;-) to start his own nimble, local team after 20 years of working at very large, established Bay Area plumbing and rooter companies. Gert, Sergio and team are highly qualified, trustworthy and highly skilled with 30+ years combined experience troubleshooting every large and small residential plumbing issue. Gert has always exceeded my expectations and never tried to suggest a service/fix that was not required. In fact, I wish I would have listened to him and installed the water filtration system earlier. I’m always pleased by how personable, respectful, and obsessively tidy they are. Bonus good karma points for supporting a local, employee owned small business."

"The guys here at All Star Plumbing are very thorough workers. I had a major leak in my basement pipes, The guys came out turned the water off and got right to gutting the floor to find where the leak was coming from. The 2 guys found it within an hour and got the complete problem solved within 2 ! I was shocked i didn't know a job could get done that fast .I highly recommend All star Plumbing."

"The Groundworks folks (formerly Bay Area Underpinning) applied their foundation-underpinning technology and expertise to extend to bedrock, level, square up the foundation for an extensive house remodel. I was most impressed by the young man onsite supervisor, Josh who answered all my work done, how and why questions. I wish this info was provided up front by the estimator. (My design-build remodel contractor referred this company). "

FAQs for sump pump or interior foundation drains installation projects in New-almaden, 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.
