"Overall, it was excellent. Jerry (the owner) came out and was very straight forward as to what needs to be done. Price (compared to 6 other companies) could not be beat. Work was scheduled reasonably quickly and went smoothly. Problems were discovered after installation and when made aware, Jerry and his crew made sincere efforts to set it right – and were able to solve the issues in couple of visits. All of the crew and management went out of their way to ensure that we were satisfied with the work and overall result. Would definitely consider Liberty Plumbing for future work."

"- Exceptionally well!  
- Isiah, the plumber from Plumbing Plus, came in the morning, during the prescribed hours of 8am to 10am, evaluated our request to install a recirculation pump for our hot water system.  
- Isiah talked me through his recommendations and the costs associated with each.
- He needed to get the parts to complete the job so he looked at his schedule and saw he could support coming back between 12pm to 2 pm after he completed his next job and picked up the components needed.
- Isiah returned soon after noon with all he needed and got to work.
- Isiah was tremendous at interacting with my two young daughters and even quietly completed his work during their afternoon nap.
- Isiah carefully explained and demonstrated to me all the components he installed and how to operate them.
- The work was finished by 2pm.  
- The job could not have been done more professionally or personably.
- We will definitely continue to use Plumbing Plus for all future plumbing issues we have!
- Great job!"

"Excellent service. Ray called ahead of appointment to confirm model requirements. He found that a leak was starting. I trust his judgment. I have used Vista plumbing for 20 years for toilet replacement to water heaters and I am always satisfied."

"I called several popular plumbing companies to replace an old dripping shower/tub faucet in the guest bath. All wanted to use their fixture and cut the shower tile to fit the new fixture, so I gave up. After a year or so, I joined Angie’s list and found Top Notch plumbing. Gordon had some fixture recommendations, but allowed me to purchase my own fixture that was compatible with my current installation. The overall install took about 3 hours. Gordon took care during the work to not damage any existing tile or carpet. He knows his craft and performed a very clean and professional install. Overall, I highly recommend Top Notch plumbing and will be saying goodbye to the popular TV advertising plumbers. Thanks Gordon!"

"I've sent him to a few properties to give me quotes on repairing or replacing both AC and Heating units. I feel like always thinks about the client first. He's great about finding the issue and resolving the problem quickly and as afforable as possible. I've used him for many projects and he'll continue to be my first call with any HVAC needs."

"The gentleman who came was very friendly and  quick to do what he came for.  He explained some things that will help us perhaps in the future and noted that our plumbing was all running well and  looked good!  I would recommend this company and this technician!

FAQs for sump pump or interior foundation drains installation projects in Poway, 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.
