"Robert and his crew were great. They were able to replace my rusty old drain pipes that had developed a hole in one pipe and replace them. The drain system works great and I appreciate the hard work and effort in just finding the parts needed for my almost 100 year old plumbing and getting the replacement parts installed quickly so I could use water again. Thank You Robert and the Facilities and Plumbing Crew!"

"Plumber misdiagnosed the problem. I had to let him go as he was struggling to figure out problem and I had to hire another plumber. I paid In and Out for their time, even though problem wasn't solved. I won't use them again."

"Above and Beyond 5-Star. Water heater replacement for tenants at my CEO boss's coastal rental property required high standards. I did the due diligence, made a LOT of phone calls to get estimates and referrals. After receiving astronomical bids from local plumbers decided to focus on water heater contractors. Maverick was the first and last contacted due to professional first impression, excellent and expedient communications, stellar reviews, availability and very fair pricing. I really liked that Steve is independent vs. franchise owned. It seemed too good to be true so verified his license with CA State, yes he was listed. Install was scheduled for Monday but when tenants called frantic that the leak was escalating, Steve responded by bumping install date up to Saturday. Today was install day. Steve was dependable, timely and got to work immediately. The Above and Beyond was deserved for first draining/uninstall defective unit, transporting it to Home Depot for warranty exchange then delivering replacement unit back to residence. I inadvertently selected the wrong replacement unit, Steve had to turn around to Home Depot and again go through the return process. Steve takes pride in his work, it is clear due to his experience and licensed status he wants to get the job done to code and right. He re-routed the piping to outside and leveled the water heater with shims at no extra charge. I love meticulous attention to detail. It's no wonder when I asked about Diamond Certification sticker on his van he informed me his previous employer was Diamond Certified, more affirmation of experience under highest standards. It feels good to know the time invested to research during selection process paid off and a good decision was made. BONUS: His sidekick is his young Welsh Springer Spaniel named Sam, just adorable."

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.
