"I couldn’t be happier with TLC Plumbing. Todd reached out to me shortly after I posted the request and he was at my house within the hour, offering advice and an estimate. David installed a new water heater, a “bear” of a project, with professionalism and respect. And he did it cheerfully. By the time he left, the system had been meticulously installed and tested, and the work area was clean! Thank you, David, for your diligence and care. TLC Plumbing gets my recommendation!"

"Every year in Spring we have our air conditioner serviced. This last Spring, Anderson Plumbing came out and did the service. At the same time saying that our heater was needing a new part and shutting that system down. Last week Anderson came out to look at the heater. Said it needed a ?minor? repair for $700. We had someone else come out today for a second opinion. He was from Evo Air. He looked at everything, nothing wrong at all!! Turned the system back on and everything works fine. That is what honestly and integrity looks like! Completely a free visit. Again, NOTHING AT ALL wrong!! $700 could have been wasted on a scam by Anderson. "

FAQs for sump pump or interior foundation drains installation projects in Pauma Valley, CA

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.
