"It was my first kitchen remodeling project, so I had no idea what to expect. I had no idea that many companies would turn down my project because my budget was too low or they had a long wait list. It was extremely disappointing. But eventually, I was able to find a few companies that accepted my budget, and Corey was the only one who arrived on time and gave me the most affordable estimate. He accommodated my hectic schedule by scheduling his crew to work on my project. He heard my complaint, promised to fix it, and followed through. He also fixed my coach light at no additional cost. I adore my new kitchen, and I recommend him because of his honest work ethic."

"Formerly Busy Dog or Basement Technologies and now Groundworks. I have had a terrible experience working with this company over the past two years. For a number of years we have used Busy Dog to manage and service our sump pumps and battery back up which included yearly maintenance. 2 years ago the red alarms were going off continuously and BB refused to come out to see what the issue was. We had called them multiple times. The sump finally failed causing a flood in our finished carpeted basement. They refused to pay my high deductible and took no responsibility for their negligence. They replaced the whole system. Everything was fine until 2 days ago when the sump failed due to an improperly installed PVC pipe which burst, causing another flood in our basement. When I called during this emergency, they said they were now Groundworks and did not respond to emergencies. I never received an email, mail or call stating they were bought out. I was also due for an annual mainte"

FAQs for sump pump or interior foundation drains installation projects in Saunderstown, RI

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.
