"We had the foundation repaired around our house and the basement repaired due to our drainage problems. This was 17 years ago and we have had no problems since that time. Also, Everdry furnishes a sump pump to us free of charge and we always have an extra sump pump in case the electric power goes off. I would suggest to every new home owner who builds a new house to have Everdry do the waterproofing of the foundation and drainage outside the house. They are wonderful!"

"Michael Brooks and his associate came on time for a schedule basement inspection. They were very thorough and explained their findings and advice. They also explained financing options. We decided on the AquaStop Basement Triple Sump Pump fitted to the existing drain tile. With a deposit on the day of inspection, we were also able to finance the remainder of the cost, which helps us get through tax time. On the day of the install, Jacob called as promised to advise us of their estimated arrival time. The crew, Jacob, Dustin, Cesar, and Jaden, were efficient and responsive to questions. They explained all they had done and how each control worked. And best of all, they left the basement super clean after the work was done. Well done, guys, and well done FSM. Thanks for the peace of mind."

"Prestige General Construction incapsulated my crawlspace that smelled moldy . Full of spiderwebs and dust. They did an amazing job. The incapsulation really cut down the musky smell in my basement and home. The crew was professional respectful and on time. I would hire them again and would recommend their services to anyone."

"The plumber appears to have done a good job on the installation.  The problem with the service has to do with the price quote.  I called three different plumbing services for price quotes on this job.  They all quoted the same brand of pump and all added a contingency that would depend on the length of copper piping needed to connect the pump.  I wrote down the name of the business, their phone number and their price quote when I called them.  Integrity Plumbing had the middle price quote but very near the lowest price.  They were also able to come the soonest so I called them and requested the service.  I guess my mistake was not verifying the price quote when I called the second time but I have never had this kind of problem with a supposedly reputable service provider before (especially one on Angie's list).  He came to install the pump and provided prompt, efficient, courteous service.  Then he said the charge was $100 more than the quote.  The quote was $475 and he charged $575.  When he told me this, I checked the paper I had written my price quote notes on to see if there could be a mix-up.  The companies and their phone number were all separate, along with their individual quotes.   When I request a quote on the phone, I repeat the price and write it down at the same time.   I own several rental houses and have called contractors for quotes many hundreds of times. In previous years I had requested quotes in writing after I had gotten them over the phone and never encountered a situation where the contractor changed the price.  I never imagined a contractor on Angie's List would do something like that.  Now, the counter-point to this situation  is that I misunderstood the price.  I don't think that happened for a couple reasons.  First, Integrity Plumbing was the second quote I received and it was $75 lower than the previous quote I had just gotten.  It was not just a random price in my mind; I was comparing it to another quote.  Second, I wrote the price down.  I suppose it's possible to say one number and write a different one at the same time but it's highly unlikely.  So the bottom line is this.  Integrity Plumbing performed good work but I think they changed the price of the service from the original quote.  Oh, when I mentioned this to the plumber while he was he at my house, he denied any possibility of him providing a different, lower quote on the phone.  I have no way of proving what his original quote was but I will never use Integrity Plumbing again.  And I think they should change their name.

FAQs for sump pump or interior foundation drains installation projects in New Buffalo, MI

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.
