"After Hurricane Sandy, we had our sump pump system with a battery backup expanded a few years ago with additional curtain drains added. The price was reasonable and they did not try to sell extras that other companies tried to sell. We have the system and battery serviced once a year. They keep to their appointments times."

"SILA is never going to be the cheapest but if you want something diagnosed swiftly and fixed or replaced just as quickly, you can't go wrong with these guys. They were the only ones to correctly diagnosis and fix our ailing furnace three years ago, so we trust them. For this problem, they tried to get the old pump into working order (turns out it was the kind that needed to be oiled; the contractor, not SILA, who installed it along with a heavy duty basement dehumidifier, never told us it needed oiling for routine maintenance). The SILA tech did all the diagnostics on the drain hose (no blockage there) and then tried oiling the motor. It was running but not well enough to push the water up the hose and down the drain. A new pump was the last alternative. Within 20 minutes, the SILA tech replaced the pump with one identical to our furnace condensate pump, which never needs oiling. Everything is working fine now! They also have good coupons/deals when you get on their email/mailing list."

"They came out on a weekend and we're our saving grace during one of the most frustrating experiences we've had in this house. We couldn't use any plumbing without flooding the basement with sewage, it was early stay at home days, and we felt like we would go mad. They showed up and gave us an price for replacing the broken pipe, and set in to work. They worked for the entire weekend essentially, staying extremely late at night and showing up early the next morning, and at one point driving far out at night to get supplies since their usual local place was closed (again, quarantine time) . The reason it took so long was because after opening up the floor to get to the end of the pipe to replace it they found more damaged pipes, and replaced those as well. By the end of it they had spent the entire weekend on a job they expected to only last an afternoon, had charged us not nearly enough for the amount of work they did, and fixed a leaking bidet we had for free for good measure. They also advised us to do camera scan to look for any other problems, which they couldn't do until the water drained out, and even did an initial mop of the basement (which, remember, sewage flooding). I'm honestly half convinced these people are magic helpful brownies or something, it's unreal how helpful they were! Somehow our drier which has not succeeded in drying clothes for over a year has started working in a single cycle since they left, despite the fact they didn't even do anything with it, and in fact specifically said they don't do driers and offered to recommend someone else when we mentioned it. Suffice to say, I cannot recommend them highly enough"

"Installation was well done , but the price seemed ridiculously high given the quotes I had obtained elsewhere. They got the job done, but it was only a pressing need that compelled me to accept a very high quote."

"Nixon and his crew did an outstanding job gutting and rebuilding a very challenging bathroom in our house, which was built in the 1930s. We are very happy with the craftsmanship and the price, and it was a pleasure to work with them on this project from start to finish. I highly recommend this excellent contractor."

"I selected Schede Plumbing for my conversion from an oil fired heating boiler to a gas boiler. My selection was based on known referrals in the Stamford, CT area from other well satisfied customers. I could not be more pleased, nor rate give enough praise and thanks to Lou Schede and his expert technicians. This was a major project for me and I was very anxious as to how the how conversion would take place. It would require draining the fuel tank, cutting it into manageable pieces and removing it from my basement. The idea of a gas conversion process was a bit scary to me but Lou Schede walked my through was would be involved, assessed what the heating requirement would be for my house, and selected a gas boiler which fit my needs perfectly. It was only two weeks from the time I first contacted Lou until the time the installation took place. My goodness, three Lou Schede trucks and four highly trained, professional and very polite technicians arrived at my house at 8:20 AM and by 3:00 PM my new gas boiler was installed, tested, and providing heat. Amazingly diligent workers worked very hard and did an beautiful installation. It was like a work of art in motion watching them work. The fuel tank was drained, cut up and removed. the oil fill pipes from outside to inside the basement were removed flush with both the interior and exterior walls and were cemented over. Beautiful, as if the pipes were never there. What also impressed me that whenever I had a question for Lou he was always there, immediately. No complicated voice menuing system. You want Lou, you call Lou, and you get Lou...immediately. This was very satisfying to me and he was a real pleasure to deal with. Absolutely top notch in every respect. The price for the installation was remarkably affordable....more that 6 to 8 thousand dollars less then competing firms. Incredible. He even cleaned the chimney, which was required by the city building code, applied for the permit at his expense. This was a thorough, comprehensive one shop job. Other firms required a separate electrician to hook up the thermostat, a separate firm to drain and remove the oil tank, and a separate firm to clean the chimney. Lou and his staff did it all!. One firm and he and his staff did it all. This is amazing. Lastly, he even accepted credit card for payment upon completion of the installation. I can go on and on. I have nothing but the best things to say about Schede Plumbing And Heating. They have my highest recommendation and are now my go to plumbing and HVAC company. Thanks Lou to you and your technicians for thoroughly well done job and an installation experience that was truly a pleasure."

"Installation went well and have had no issues since, seems to be working well. Entire process from scheduling to installation went very well. Beats having to refill 2 humidifiers all winter and cleaning up the white dust mess. <br />"

FAQs for sump pump or interior foundation drains installation projects in Norwalk, CT

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.
