"Looked at several foundation companies but decided to go with Foundation Support Specialist and I'm glad I chose them. The crew, Christopher Garcia foreman, Justin Hill co-foreman, Austin, Frank and Hector were professional, respectful, courteous hard workers. I was really please the way they tackled a mortared brick flower bed to get to install the piers. They reassemble it perfectly. Chris was really great about answering all my questions and he explained the process thoroughly as I looked on during some of the installation. Clean up was well done. Job well done by all ."

"Awesome! I call to have my sump pump replace/repaired, I know the old one was not working properly. John looked at it an told me what was needed. Replaced that OLD sump pump cleaned out the trash in the well of the sump pump also. Installed the new one for a good price, he quoted me first before he started the job. I will call him again. Cleaned up behind himself. Good person to hire very professional. Friendly person to do business with. Will hire for my next project, checked it to make sure it worked. I highly recommend this company for your plumbing needs."

"Devan and his wife did a great job. It was a large haul and filled up a trailer and the bed of a pickup. They even cleaned up the driveway after loading. Would hire again."

FAQs for sump pump or interior foundation drains installation projects in Smithville, TX

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.
