"Gregg and his team were on time, extremely professional, neat, all of the above! The quality of the job done is 100% effective. I had Hydro-static pressure and water coming in through my basement floors every time it rained, Gregg analyzed everything in a matter of seconds, gave me an absolute fair price, best in the industry, gave me a commercial quality job at my residence and even took care of relative issues that I had in my basement concerning the garage area, the level of the floor, and an old sump pump. I would absolutely recommend Gregg Segnit and Contractor's Waterproofing, Corp. for anyone's water proofing needs. He has been in this profession for years and knows what he is doing. He stuck by his word to everything he said, and actually left my basement in better shape than it was before, outside of waterproofing. Since him and his team completed the job I have not seen one ounce of water in the basement. Not one drop. Before then, every time it rained outside I would get water coming into my basement from all angles, the wall and floor. He installed in my opinion the perfect interior drain system for my home, at a reasonable price, and with a lifetime guarantee, I cannot be happier as a homeowner. I will never go to anyone else for my waterproofing needs. Thanks again Gregg and team"

"Connecticut Basement Systems prides themselves on their superior customer service, and they really live up to that. Their communication, quality of products and service, and attentiveness to customer needs is unsurpassed. Here are a couple of examples of how they go the extra mile for a satisfied customer: They installed their basement drainage system around my existing heating oil tank, but as I'm planning to convert away from oil this summer, they offered to come back AT NO EXTRA CHARGE once the tank is removed, to reroute the drainage system. Also, I was scheduled for a 3-day project, which included the replacement of some flooring in my basement. On the day the project began, we reconsidered the need for the flooring, and asked if we could cancel that portion of the job. They could not have been more accommodating to that adjustment, and made the change with no questions asked or negative attitude, even though it significantly lowered the price of the project and eliminated a whole day of scheduled work on 2-days' notice. That sort of total customer dedication is rare. I recommend them highly."

"I texted him and he came out after 30 minutes. It was super quick and amazing. He showed me that it was just a silt underneath the pump and also showed me what to do for future problems. It was a quick job and he's our go to guy for a plumbing work."

"This was a great company needed to grade and prepare a shed site with a foundation. Shawn came out right away for an estimate and cleared the schedule so that the job could be done quickly. All the work was done in one day and the workers were polite and hard working. When they were done they cleaned up the site and Shawn took a minute to explain everything that they did. This was the easiest project I have ever seen a company tackle so flawlessly. I canâ t wait for my next project so that I can hire them again."

FAQs for sump pump or interior foundation drains installation projects in Thornwood, NY

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.
