"Water heater failed and they sent a "closer' to avoid replacement (replaced when confronted). Then misdiagnosed a sensor as "bad"on boiler and wanted TWICE as much as others to replace a "found to be a WORKING PART"! Not to be trusted! YOU'VE BEEN WARNED!"

"Richie and other Sessa team members are very professional, knowledgeable and efficient. They are also very warm and courteous. All jobs they did in my house turned out great. A little on the high end in terms of the cost but well worth it."

"Outstanding and Professional! Chris called me a few minutes of submitting my request. He provided an estimate after I sent him a photo of the broken elbow. Even though he was already committed to work in the city the next day, he told me he would come over as soon as he finished there. When he arrived, he quickly fixed the reported broken elbow. However, he also discovered two more broken copper pipes, some of them hidden behind the drywall. The scope of the repair ended up being well beyond the original estimate and required more time to locate and fix all the damaged pipes. It was already late in the evening, but Chris worked tirelessly until every broken pipe was repaired. During the repair, Chris also noticed a gas leak in our gas dryer, which he immediately fixed. This leak could have led to a serious disaster for our family. We are grateful he fixed it. Chris went above and beyond for us. I will hire him again and strongly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable plumber."

He quickly diagnosed the problem, explained everything clearly, and fixed the sewer efficiently without any mess or damage. The price was fair and transparent with no hidden fees. The work quality is excellent, and my drain has been working perfectly ever since. I highly recommend this reliable and trustworthy plumbing service to anyone in need. Great job! "

"Dan and Dan were amazing! They took the job right before Thanksgiving. We were having family come into town and needed both my shower plumbing and change my kitchen sink and faucet, along with the plumbing. They were professional, efficient, and explained everything every step of the way. We plan on hiring them again in the very near future to help remodel our basement. Thank you so much for your prompt response and a job well done! "

FAQs for sump pump or interior foundation drains installation projects in Saint Albans, NY

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.
