"I have had a dry basement for years now which is very different from before EverDry. One time a pump failed and they were here to fix it before any water came in. Great service and skilled workers!"

"Chance was great. He installed our 3-stage water filtration system (US Water sediment, carbon, and Pulsar UV) with an existing softener, a new water heater, and fixed two shower leaks (one drain, one valve). In all of these, he efficiently evaluated each system and made the necessary updates. This was working with a plumbing system originally installed in the 1980s. Fair pricing, and very professional. We highly recommend him."

"We had a challenging project with water removal and structural support issues. Our crew of Tim (Foreman), Marq, Jayshawn, and Devon worked diligently to install a new drainage system and support beam for the house, spending late nights to get the job done. Thanks to (Manager) Cornell for his assistance on this complex project. Matt E"

"I own a rental property in Cleveland Ohio on 84th street. The house is a double, up and down. For 10 years after every heavy rain I got water in the basement. The water came from only two sides of the house, the side along the driveway and the back of the house. The property is rented out to section 8 tenants. This means that each unit is inspected once a year. For the last ten years I have been repainting the basement walls, bringing in dehumidifiers and blowers to dry the basement before each inspection so it would pass. Finally I called several waterproofing companies to give me an estimate on fixing the problem and eliminating the water. I liked what I heard from the folks at Buckeye Waterproofing. Their price was good and they really seemed to know what they were talking about. They were able to repair the problem from inside the basement and not have to destroy my driveway. They were neat, courteous and on time. It's been over a year since the work was done and the basement is still bone dry.

"My basement was always damp, so I had them come in and assess what needed to be done for waterproofing. After their work, no more problems. I give their number to anybody needing similar help. One thing I have to say, Danny's son went above and beyond. They give you insurance for 35$ for a year, and one time I had a bit of a dribble in one corner, and they came right out and fixed it. They've been great to my wife and I, and we are more than satisfied. They really went above and beyond."

FAQs for sump pump or interior foundation drains installation projects in Paulding, OH

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.
