"I've done a lot of reading on sump pumps, but probably no unlike a lot of homeowners, I didn't know a lot about what I needed to be looking for on maintenance, etc. My backup battery had just gone out and I needed help on what to do next. Whether to get a new battery, or just a new system. Darrell was AMAZING. Very professional and answered every single question I had, he looked at the system thoroughly, and helped me understand the ins and outs of my system better. I can't thank him enough for helping to ease my mind, and being kind enough to walk me through what I was looking at. My Monday was made better for it!"

"We had foundation piers in our crawl space and 3 pumps with drain gutters installed in our basement in October. They had to come back in July because water was seeping into the basement from another area. They scheduled the additional work quickly. Conan and Charles added the additional gutter to the existing gutter and did not have to put in another pump with outside drain. The work invoice was adjusted to a lower cost, and we are satisfied . Time will tell if our basement stays dry. Wish they had done all the gutter work originally , as it is noisy and dusty , Thanks , especially Conan!"

"AWESOME. We have been in the Charlottesville area for about 10 years, and have gone through many plumbers searching for someone we can rely on and trust. After making a handful of calls when our garbage disposal in our new house started leaking from the bottom, I was so discouraged by the really bad customer service out there and was hesitant to call the large companies because of their cost to fix. I wanted to give up, and then I actually got a call back from Fluvanna Plumbing and it completely turned my day around! Excellent customer service - Sheila took a long time on the phone to talk with me about their business and our situation, and what some solutions might be. She was able to make an appointment for the next day. Jimmy came out and was fast, courteous and very professional. I can't say enough how grateful we are to have found a company we look forward to working with again. If we need an upgrade or a fix, we will be calling Fluvanna Plumbing."

"Jamie did a fantastic job. Came out the day we called him to see what needed to be done.  The next day he and his associate had the new hot water tank in quickly and efficiently. Spent time showing us how the new hot water tank worked and answered all of our questions. Would definitely recommend Smith Plumbing!

OUR INSTALLERS HAD TO COME 3 TIMES TO MAKE SURE EVERTHING WAS RIGHT. THEY WERE THE BEST THAT ANYONE COULD ASK FOR. I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS COMPANY TO ANYONE THAT NEEDS OR WANTS BEAUTIFUL GRANITE."

"Very happy with the results. We had a full house replumbing job that came in on schedule, on budget and exceeded our expectations. Robert and his crew were quick and did quality work on ripping out the old Qwest pipe and pulling in all PEX. They installed a new sink for us also which was a nice touch. Immediately after the replumbing was complete the (30) year old hot water heater started to leak, Robert and crew showed up same day and had a new water heater swapped out in record time. Quality work. Very reasonable rates. Professional. Hard working crew. If you need a plumber hire these guys."

"After another contractor messed up our home, we got VPS to quote out the cost to finish the work. We initially thought the price was too high, but after getting some other quotes, VPS came in under everyone else. Long story short, they came and got it all finished in a day, and we've had no problems since. Another thing I liked was they were able to move a pipe over for us, because we had second thoughts on the best place to put it. Great company to work with overall.

"They completely outfitted the garage space and upstairs guest space with every outlet and switch and lighting and provided a lot of good insight into how the space might be used and where outlets should go or how many. They had to trench from the garage to the house to bring in power and Tommy did an all but seemingly impossible job bringing a wire from box in the house through 20ft of crawl space nobody could fit into and out a small hole. Serious dedication. The other option would have been a longer trench and ruining some landscaping. Tommy listened to my concerns and worked hard providing a great professional experience. Everything was cleaned up and taken care of professionally."

FAQs for sump pump or interior foundation drains installation projects in Shipman, VA

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.
