"Every time it would rain the side of my yard would flood and get into my house. A close friend recommended Napolitano Brothers Contracting. Jim, James, and Michael Napolitano were great to work with. They installed a exterior drainage system and also water proofed the side of my house. After, I hired them to do a paver patio and driveway, both of which I constantly get compliments. I am glad to have found them!"

"This company was recommended to me by a plumber that I know. They showed up on time, got right to work, spent the time answering my questions and making sure I understood the type of cesspool system I had and how to maintain it. They were able to find the cesspool within about 5 minutes, almost just by looking at the lawn. Pumped it, aerated it, applied chemicals. Great job, highly recommended!"

"A real find! We've had many plumbers, good and bad, but by far, Clearway was the best! I called them yesterday with two issues: a leaking relief valve on our water tank, and a slow draining toilet that coughed up grey gunk after 2 days of Draino Max Buildup treatment and plunging, yet wouldn't drain properly. Jim Montalbano got back to me very quickly, gave me the low-down on what was most likely happening, and sent his team over bright and early today. Paul and Adam were polite and very easy to talk with. (We've experienced plumbers who treated us with condescending attitudes, so this was a pleasure!) They explained what was wrong, what needed to be done and did it so quickly and professionally, we were astonished! We would definitely have these guys back for future projects, and we thank them and Jim for a job well done. Highly recommended!"

"Rob and team were great. Replaced the old cast iron stack completely and helped install new bathroom plumbing (tub, sink, toilet) while I had a remodeling going on. Would highly recommend them for any plumbing, heating needs."

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