"John davenport Ken mays Joe harbin Charles watry and James carey gave me excellent, knowledgeable, courteous service on my crawl space foundation issues. They raised my settling foundation joists, so doors closed smoothly and small fissures closed and sealed. They also enclosed my crawl space with a very professional and attractive vapor lock enclosure, installed a sump pump and dehumidifier. I would hire AFS again. I highly commend the gentlemen mentioned for their expertise, integrity and friendly customer service. David R. Penland Chaplain (LTC) USA, ret"

"We just recently purchased this home (within 10 months). Over time we have come to find out that there have been many corners cut and major repairs needed. J.L. Wright Plumbing came to our rescue! They were quick, professional and overall reasonably priced. We would definitely hire again. I gave 4 stars for quality, as once they were finished and left- I heard this overwhelming flow of water under the house. I went to turn off at the water heater and it did nothing (meaning busted pipe under). I ran out and shut off the main valve (after trying to get it flush to turn....)- after which at least 75 gallons of water had been disbursed under the home (watched meter- costing us more money in water bill and time of return). I called JL and they came right back and fixed everything correctly. Excellent communication and the (Office Manager?) woman I spoke with was very polite, professional and overall very helpful! Thanks so much!"

"Overall the experience was great.  I called for an estimate which we scheduled within a few days which happened to be on a Saturday.  I picked out the color I wanted from his supplier (all of the paint was included in the quote and we were left with the remainder) and his crew started a week after the estimate (worked from 7am - 5pm or so everyday).  Brad estimated it would take 4 days which it did especially since they had so much patch work to do.  When I asked if they could hang a chandelier, it was no problem at all.  Sounds like a company that will do whatever they can, not just painting.  They did a phenomenal job and will definitely hire again for the remainder of my house. "

FAQs for sump pump or interior foundation drains installation projects in Somerville, AL

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.
