"Alan came out same day within couple of hours to clear a clogged bathtub drain. Worked on it for some time, went above and beyond to get it drained but no luck' House is 50 + years old with cast iron pipes so I was not surprised when he said ones under the tub needed to be replaced. Had been giving us trouble for several years and had been getting worse. He wrote a proposal and said he could do the next day as it was too late to start that day. James the owner showed up early next morning and went over what needed to be done. Gave a fair price and Alan showed up hr or so later and got started. Worked all day bless his heart. Got drain running smoothly. It's been about 2 weeks and all still going great. Have had a number of plumbing jobs done in the past by different companies but James Degennaro was by far the best. Both he and Alan were great and professional and did great work and clean up. .Would absolutely hire again and recommend . So glad I found them. Will need more pipes replaced in future so will be keeping them in the phone book. Patricia C. in Garden Grove, Ca."

"I recently had the pleasure of working with Anthony Fankhauser from Rooter Er & Plumbing, and I can confidently say that he is the most professional plumber I have ever encountered. Our search for a reliable plumber began about six weeks ago when Anthony came over to provide us with a free estimate for some work needed in our home. From the start, he impressed us with his prompt response to our request on Angie's List, arriving the same day and offering valuable tips to make our shower remodel efficient and cost-effective. Throughout our interactions with various plumbers, Anthony stood out by taking the time to truly understand our needs and how he could assist us best. Despite the initial consultation not resulting in immediate work, Anthony remained responsive and proactive. Fast forward six weeks, and he was once again quick to reply, reaffirming our confidence in his professionalism. On the day of the job, Anthony arrived on time and efficiently installed our new shower faucet, recommended the best option for our budget, and set the drain in record time, coordinating seamlessly with another contractor working on the floor. Not only did he go above and beyond by addressing additional plumbing issues in our home, such as resealing a leaking toilet tank and replacing faucets, but he also made trips to Home Depot on our behalf without any extra charge. Anthony's dedication to meeting our needs, even outside regular working hours, sets him apart from other contractors we've worked with during our home remodeling project. His attention to detail, professionalism, and unwavering commitment to quality work make him a standout professional in his field. I am typically critical when it comes to service providers, but I cannot fault Anthony in any way. His integrity, work ethic, and genuine care for his clients make him a truly exceptional plumber. If you are in need of a reliable plumber, I highly recommend reaching out to Anthony Fankhauser at Rooter Er & Plumbing. Whether you are in South County or in areas like Marietta, you can trust that you will receive top-notch service and expertise. Thank you, Anthony, for your outstanding work and for exceeding our expectations."

"Called in the morning to be sure it was OK if they were a little late. Arrived exactly when said. Friendly answered all our questions.Definitely knew their job. They made sure everything was clean when they left. A little mark off as we are waiting for them to add a little drain pipe from the pan under the tank."

"Excellent Plumbing Service! I had a fantastic experience with Plymwr Plumbing. From start to finish, their team was professional, courteous, and efficient. I had an urgent issue with a clogged drain, and they were able to send someone over the same day. The plumber, Bobby was punctual and quickly diagnosed the problem. He explained the issue to me in a clear and straightforward way and fixed it in no time."

"Hector gave me a quote over the phone on Wednesday and made an appointment for the following day. He and Nathen showed up ready to work at 0830. They installed a new (1/2 hp) Sump Pump and Check Valve. The project took approximately 2.5 hours to complete. The site is now ready for the rain."

"I recently had a kitchen drain snaked by Top Contender drain specialist Inc. They did a great job. I've hired them numerous times over the years because I own an apartment building, they've done all kinds of work for me. They've done everything from jackhammering the cement to get out a bad pipe, to climbing on the roof to access the vent pipe, all types of repairs, they have consistently been excellent. When they work in apartments that are occupied by tenants I always get a happy response from the tenants because everything gets fixed right and they clean up their work after they're done. I've even hired them to work on my home and my parents home. I have no hesitation in recommending them, recently they showed up on a holiday weekend with a smile and took care of my clogged drain that was affecting three different apartments. Because they were willing to show up at a difficult time it made the weekend nice for everybody and I appreciate that."

"I was referred to JP plumbing by a good friend of mine after my water heater stopped working in the middle of the night. I called JP and was immediately impressed with his professionalism and knowledge. He explained the process and broke the cost down. I did call another plumber for estimate and found JP plumbing’s estimate to be considerably lower. I booked an appointment for the same day and JP was right on time. My first impression of JP was a professional, clean and prompt plumber. The old water heater was drained and removed from home and the new one was installed. The work was quality with a very nice 50 gallon Bradford White gas heater. During this visit I also showed him a leaking bathtub faucet which he was able to adjust to stop leaking for a very small extra cost. I would refer JP Plumbing Services to anyone who needs a well qualified and reasonably priced plumber."

FAQs for sump pump or interior foundation drains installation projects in Rancho Santa Margarita, 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.
