"Saturday, July 30, 2022 H&R Waterproofing Review Sump pump & French drain How about very HONEST, dependable, reputable and even adaptable! First of all, Eric and Charles, owners, both do estimates and they came on time, with Caleb. They said the both of them go to all jobs. When getting the french drain started, they noticed water leaking from another of those cheap copper pipes. They told us then that we would not need the sump pump system. Then they said they would try and repair the pipe. How many companies would really do these things? They said our water problem should be resolved, but if not to call them. We would certainly do that and we highly recommend them. Also, their pump system is definitely less costly than some others. Tom and Florence Mack Kennedy Township"

"Raecon Plumbing responded quickly and came the same day, but didn't have the right snake to clear the drain. They promised to return the next morning but had to reschedule to the afternoon. Once they came with the big snake, the job was done quickly and the drain was fully cleared."

"David personally answered his phone when I called. He arrived within 3 hours and was able to get the drain open and explained what he did. He was careful not to damage the flowers that were planted near the drain pipe. His work is guaranteed for 90 days. He provided a insurance certificate before he did the work. I would definitely hire him again."

"Everything went well, the plumber explained what was happening. I was given 2 price quotes on what he could do. One was around $1000 and one price around $500. I did use my $100 discount on work performed. I personally thought it was way over priced, but I needed the drip to stop because it was costing me money. The plumber completed the job and everything is working fine. He was professional and friendly."

FAQs for sump pump or interior foundation drains installation projects in Penn Hills, PA

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.
