"We paid close to $20,000 to BQ Basements to completely waterproof our basement. We still get water and they told us we need another sump pump installed at over $2,000. They guaranteed we would not get water after installation. Be aware they do not stand behind their work or honor warranties."

We are here to build long term relationships with our customers as the trusted waterproofing company that delivers what they promise. We look forward to working with you.

"My wife & I had interviewed 5 different companies because 2 of the companies sales reps were obviously interested in just making a big fat commission. When Mike the owner of NPW, came to our home my wife & I were very comfortable with him. He presented logical solutions to remediate our basement problem PLUS his cost proposal was the best as compared to the other companies. Mike was there when his crew showed up (on time). We found all his workers to be very professional, fast, & they cared about how the job was being done. Mike had to step away for a while but he came back later to check on their progress. The next morning Mike was the first person to arrive, he stayed all day & he was helping the crew complete the job. He is definitely a HANDS ON OWNER. My wife & I were very pleased how the job turned out. His crew was very meticulous to ensure the job was completed properly. We highly recommend National Pro Waterproofing for all your basement needs. They are THE BEST !!!!!! "

FAQs for sump pump or interior foundation drains installation projects in Paterson, 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.
