"I'm not fully moved into the home yet, but I will update when I am there permanently. The crew was very professional, worked diligently, cleaned up after every day of work (three day job--french drain expansion, two additional sump pumps installed, window drains into the sump pumps, pretty extensive job)."

"Amazing! The crew was on-site within 3 hours of my 8:00 AM phone call to replace my sump pump. My sump pump runs every 15 minutes, on a dry day, so it was critical to get expedited service and Delaware Plumbing Professionals were fantastic! Highly recommend"

"I contacted 5 plumbing companies and Done Right Today provided the lowest price. The guys did a very nice job on the install and the removal/clean-up. My overall score of 3 is due to one thing. The first guys that came out got the great rate from the office and I was going to proceed with the work. I went upstairs and then the guy called me back down to advise me that my sump pump was not working. It was working fine before they came. The price they gave to repair the pump seemed very high to me and after many expletives, not to the guys, just for my crap luck, I said I had to think about it. The office said the price for the work was good until the next day. After they left and I calmed down, I went back to the sump pump, fished the dehumidifier hose out and the pump worked fine. I checked it twice by dumping 4 gallons of water in and it worked perfectly fine. I still used Done Right the next day as the price was the lowest. The one guy told me I had a leak elsewhere and that it could be extremely costly to repair. Unfortunately I did not trust him due to the sump pump situation from the previous day so I doubt I would use them again."

"I called this company due to a flooding issue in my basement and not having a sump pump pit or a sump pump. Anthony Miller came out let me know what I need how long the task was going to take and how it would be done in a day or two no real wait time. The job was done was the most professional experience and knowledge and works fantastic which put our minds at ease. The best part is they give you a time frame and updates through out the whole process so you don't have to wait around all day like most companies make you do and they also only charge for the job itself there is no extra hourly rate or a emergency call fee. I highly recommend this company to anyone with any plumbing problems call and ask for Anthony Miller he will have you up and running with anything you need in no time."

FAQs for sump pump or interior foundation drains installation projects in New Castle, DE

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.
