"Our septic tank pump went out last Friday evening. The following morning, I called the office and spoke with a friendly and professional receptionist, who told me that they had immediate availability, and that someone could probably come out that same afternoon. Unfortunately, they weren't actually able to come out until Monday afternoon, two days later, at which time they diagnosed a possible electrical issue, and recommended that I consult with an electrician before proceeding any further. So I had the electrical problem fixed the very next morning, and immediately called All About Septic after that to schedule my pump replacement. Unfortunately again, they did not make it back to my house until late the next day. and then they encountered an unexpected complication. And because darkness was approaching, and also because they had gotten such a late start, they were not able to make it back until late the next day again, because they chose to prioritize another job over ours. When I communicated my dissatisfaction with one of the owners about this, he said that it wouldn't be right to delay another customer job by one day, by keeping my project at the top of their priority list. My question for your management team is, which is worse, delaying someone else's job by just one day, or further delaying my job to day six? I think the answer is obvious, and in my opinion, this company was not exercising common sense in that regard. And keep in mind that for six days, because your management team willfully chose not to make our job your top priority, we were not able to shower, do laundry, run the dishwasher, or take any showers for that entire length of time. If you want to improve the customer experience, you might want to reconsider how you prioritize your jobs. Another issue is that the cost of this job was shockingly high at just under 3K, but I understand that the cost of labor and materials has risen significantly over the past couple of years, so obviously there is nothing anyone can do about that. But I was disappointed that I had to replace my last pump after only 3.5 years, which was also installed by All about Septic at the end of 2018. I am giving an average rating because, as far as I know, they apparently did do the job correctly, and also diagnosed and fixed an additional electrical problem at no extra charge. And their technicians, office staff, and management were polite and professional, for the most part. The only thing that really did rub me the wrong way in my interactions with them was when the lead technician made a special point of telling me that it would cost me an additional $283 just to disconnect the pump. It wasn't until after I called the office to protest this charge that I was finally informed by the technician that the charge would be taken off after I agreed to the new pump installation. This was just very poor communication, plain and simple. I do think that this is a good company, as the many positive reviews here are a testament to that, but for whatever reason, my experience with them just did not go smoothly at all. I do believe that the rating for my experience with this company is both accurate and fair, as I was trying my best to be cognizant of noting both the positive and negative aspects of the overall experience."

"Jason did a nice job. He determined that the old (leaking) water line had been laid under the (asphalt) driveway, and that it was thus cheaper simply to install a new waterline. That proved difficult due to the compacted clay around the house, and because the slab was solid concrete, but he persevered and we now are enjoying water without an "enhanced" monthly bill. His price was quite reasonable, and he was very professional."

"When I first called for a quote, Patrick went out of his way to come by that day and look at the problem and give his opinion and quote. He recommended a sump pump and he and his crew arrived on time on the day scheduled, explained in detail what they would be doing, and got right to work. They did the install, moved things back into place and cleaned up all in just a few hours. I was very happy with their work and obvious knowledge and explanations. Patrick was also kind enough to give me some valuable advice on another job I was having done by another company that improved that outcome. The cost was right in line with the other quotes I had received and I felt a good value for the money. I highly recommend the Ulbrich Brothers."

FAQs for sump pump or interior foundation drains installation projects in Skyland, NC

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.
