"C&B Plumbing did great work. I thought we had a much bigger issue with our plumbing than we ended up having. They made sure to check all the boxes and verify that we did not have a leak, all while making sure to be as minimally invasive on our walls and plumbing as possible. They were very courteous and quick to respond. We will definitely be hiring them again for potential future issues!"

"Repeat customers! Last week we had Andy and Brian over to install a tankless water heater and a filtration system. Our water heater exploded and we were so happy with the septic service they did, we brought them back. Now today they are here replacing ALL the pipes under our house. We couldn't be happier with their approach, honesty and hard work ethic. Next up will be two bathroom remodels. Andy and Brian are basically family now!"

"I recently had a plumbing problem at my home in Navarre. Navarre uses lift pumps to push sewage out to the main line. The pumps have a grinder pump that chews up solids and pumps the tank out, which is level controlled. I called Ben Franklin Plumbers, on recommendation from Navarre City Water, who came out and gave me an estimate of $6,400 to install a new grinder and pump and control box. A copy of this quote is included. Ben Franklin Plumbers took my old pump out and saw that I had a large tank beneath the sleeve, so they didn’t need to replace it, instead using my existing tank and sleeve. When the electrician came, he said it would be an extra $1,800 to install an extra breaker, all of which was supposed to be included in the initial price. Since they were going to use my tank and sleeve, they said that they would just swap the price of the breaker for the new tank and sleeve. I felt I was overcharged, so I called Ben Franklin Plumbers and spoke with their representative, Nick. He said that they use the best pumps and that they back all their equipment. He said there are companies that charge less but that Ben Franklin does the best job, so there would be no reparations for the over-estimation on the job or for work not done. I checked with two other plumbers. One said that he would have done the same job for $2,600 to $2,800 and that he hated that Ben Franklin Plumbers overcharged for their service. The other plumber said that the cost of a 2 HP grinder pump installed with electrical box should have been $2,400 to $2,600."

"Waterline going into the house got a leak.  The leak was due to faulty
installation.  Expecting to mortgage my house to pay a huge plumbing
repair bill I was very pleasantly surprised that the repair was simple
and quick and corrected the problem created by a previous plumber who
did not know what they were doing. 
I would use Havard again. 
In fact I got quotes from them to fix a few leaky outdoor faucets and
the price was very reasonable.

FAQs for sump pump or interior foundation drains installation projects in Pensacola, FL

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.
