"HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!! We just had a French drain installed along with a new sump pump and pit in our basement and had the floors epoxyed afterwards. The project manager, Kenny, was absolutely amazing. From the very beginning he explained everything that their team would be doing, gave me updates throughout the day. If I had a question or concern Kenny was patient with me and continued to make sure any questions/concerns were addressed, even telling me to call him if I thought of any other questions. Their crew was very respectful of the property by making sure to lay out tarps to protect the floors, and made all attempts to manage the noise since we were home. Whatever was left in the basement they made sure to cover and protect. And if something needed to be moved they moved it and moved it back. When it came time to lay down the epoxy there was a scheduling hiccup. Kenny though went out of his way to make it right by coming right after another job and staying late to make sure we're stayed on schedule since I was having out of town guests coming that weekend and needed access to the basement. Working with Select Basement, but especially Kenny, made this one of the best experiences and I highly recommend them. 10 out of 10!"

"THIS WAS INSTALLATION OF FRENCH DRAIN & PUMP. We are new to this home, and had been in the crawl space maybe 2X! It is 4 feet deep w/1 light source. We knew the sump pump was shot - were looking merely for replacement w/battery backup. We stated there was no standing water. When Michael came to estimate, we had some surface water; he believed we needed more than we wanted; we didn't listen, he didn't pressure us. When the crew showed up after a particularly rainy period, Wilson showed us what we didn't know, had not seen before--we really had water down there. Wilson was honest, and advised while he could replace the sump pump, it likely wouldn't be enough to take care of the issues - my words, I'm paraphrasing - but he would do the work as we requested and leave it up to us to monitor and could return and install a french drain in the future. No pressure. After speaking with Wilson, and him showing us what we didn't know about the crawl space (seriously, who wants to go down there in the first place) he made sense to us and we realized we needed more than a new sump pump. We found Wilson to be knowledgeable and personable. Steve came out and after discussing it with him, again, it made sense to install the french drain and relocate the sump pump. Good thing we listened to the pros. French drain, moved pump to better location, and battery backup. We cannot say enough positive remarks about how meticulous they were with the installation. The crawl space looks amazing, the pump is quieter than the nightmare we had before, and they left the crawl space cleaner than it was before they arrived. For all the work they did OUTSIDE in preparation, etc., once they left, you would never even know they were here! They worked extremely hard in damp hot weather. Wilson was informative throughout, and the crew was respectful of our property. The new pump works like a charm and we are pleased with the work and the price."

FAQs for sump pump or interior foundation drains installation projects in Newton, NJ

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.
