Get matched with top sump pump repair or replacers in Vermontville, MI

"Our home well pump stopped working - at a very hot time of summer. We use a lot of waster within the house and have a large lawn irrigation system. I called Dyer Well Drilling prior to 8 a.m. and they sent two technicians out, Kyle and Mason, who came to the house within hours to ascertain the problem, which was that our system was nearly 30 years old and simply needed to be replaced. They were very helpful. Subsequently, a technician by the name of Harley replaced the well pump, motor controls, and interior pressure tank and control box. He was super competent, courteous, and dedicated, staying well into the evening to get the project done. The system is high-tech and very quiet, and our water pressure has increased significantly. I was remarkably impressed with the responsiveness of the team at Dyer Well Drilling. Had they simply waited one additional day, we would have had to get a hotel room and we would have lost a lot of flowers/plants due to our irrigation system being down. Super impressed all around."

"Aqua Systems gave very helpful advice on the type and size water heater that would be best for my home. They did not push the most expensive model. Scheduling was easy. They arrived on time and completed the work satisfactorily. The water is much improved."

"The repair technician was professional and courteous and promptly completed repairs."

"<ul> <li>This will be a little bit of a strange review because what I am so impressed with is what this company <em>didn't</em> do!</li> <li></li> </ul> If this review seems to long to read, just skip to the last paragraph. <ul> <li></li> <li>We called Brad because we thought we had a water problem in our basement. We had several people look at it. They all were sure that we had water damage and we were anticipating a very costly repair - full of unknowns, only possible to find out about by tearing out a wall (costly just to do that). Several people told us very seriously that we had mold and water damage. They touched the carpet on the floor and told us it was wet. When my husband and I felt the carpet, we didn't feel any moisture, but, who knew? (Brad did not tell us he thought the carpet felt wet.) Then they pointed to a spot in the ceiling tile that had obvious water damage. We had a bunch of bookcases against the wall that supposedly had the damage, so before anyone could tear out the wall we had to clear out the bookcases. We had various estimates for the cost of tearing out the wall. Brad's estimate included also looking into our downspouts with a camera to see if they were working properly, but his estimate was higher than the other estimates. I hired Brad in spite of the fact that his estimate was higher because I felt I could trust him to give me clear and honest feedback as the project went on, in part because he was not part of a large company, but was the person who would be working on the project personally. I come from a family of small businessmen and trust that type of interchange - I don't like feeling like I'm being handled by salespeople. I just want to talk straight to whoever is going to be doing a job and find out what it is, what it costs, without any jazz in between. (I'll keep my language clean here.) Anyway, for those reasons I thought I had a better chance of having only necessary work done, or, to put it another way, of not having unnecessary work done with Carpentry plus than if I hired a bigger company because we could get lost in a big company with various levels of people working on the project. So I actually picked Carpentry Plus, the company with higher priced estimate to do the work because it is smaller. When I told Brad that, he almost sounded like he was trying to talk me out of hiring him, because he was more expensive than the others! What a refreshing change from some of the heavy marketers that we had looking at the project. </li> </ul> <br /> In any case, I turned out to be much more right in my thought process than I could have ever predicted. Brad got as far as tearing out a row of ceiling tiles, and told me he thought he had found the problem, and it didn't involve water damage from outside. There had been a nest of squirrels up in the ceiling, and the water damage was urine from the squirrels.  He told me he saw no evidence that I had a water damage problem, and he didn't see any reason to go ahead and tear out the wall. He cleaned out the nest and put the ceiling back together. We realized that what looked like mold was just a different type of varnish on half of the wall, not mold. I asked him what he thought was the reason for the musty smell downstairs, and what I should do about it. He said it was just a very wet summer and he recommended getting a dehumidifier and cleaning the carpets professionally. (You notice neither of these things are jobs that he does or can benefit from us doing.) He then told us he would refund the unused part of the deposit we had made on the project. A few days later I got a phone call in which he said that since we didn't seem to have a water problem, he didn't see why we should have him check our downspouts either, and that if we liked, he would refund an additional $300 that he would have charged for looking in the downspouts. <br /> I have to say, I'm stunned. I don't think I have ever had a workman come into my house, diagnose what he thinks we need to have done, give me an estimate, have me put down a 50% deposit, start the project and then tell us after a small bit of exploration that he honestly doesn't think we need to do the job at all and then offer to give us our money back. I am sure that the other two companies who gave us a price for doing this job would have simply gone ahead, torn out the wall, and charged us our agreed price for doing it. It was an exploratory job - tearing a wall out to see if there was mold behind it - so they could certainly have followed through on the work order and told us several thousands of dollars later that, luckily, they didn't find anything wrong. And we would have been grateful to have been saved a bigger job in the future. <br /> While Brad was here he also fixed several other things in a reasonable, rational way for us.  <br /> Our front door didn't latch well, so cold air used to rush in all winter. One person told us we would need a $500-$800 new door. Another company told us we would have to tear out the whole wall adjacent to the door too (in a very charming mid-century modern house with nice woodwork) and that would cost about $1000. Brad did a quick repair job with a screwdriver while he was standing there, essentially for free, which he says will hold us for 2-3 years. Then we could look again to see what we could do with the door. (I doubt he would recommend replacing the door or the whole wall to fix a latch that doesn't work properly.) We had holes punched in our walls from a renegade power wheelchair. He plastered those back to smoothness. We had ugly black gunk on the backsplash behind our kitchen sink. He replaced the caulk and now it looks great.  He spent quite a bit of time here, finding out that we didn't have a moisture problem and fixing incidental things, and in the end refunded $300 back from the 50% deposit we had given him for the basement job.  <br /> I can't really speak to the quality of Brad's work on a big remodel job, because he didn't do that kind of work for us. But, this is what I can say. He is very pleasant to deal with and I believe he has a lot of knowledge and care about what he does. But what I really want to say is that I am very impressed with his honesty and integrity. Really impressed. I think he went way above and beyond what most companies would have done in this respect. I am so glad we hired him - we ended up actually <em>not</em> having to do an expensive repair job because of his honesty and integrity. <br /> <br />"

"I got three estimates. They were the middle estimate but they did not try to upsell me as the others did even though they did explain all of my options and answer my questions. They arrived on time, performed the work per their estimate. They warned me about the dust even though they clearly tried to contain it as much as possible. Cleaned up after themselves. The drain system is working. The workers answered all of my questions. I would hire them again if needed. They put the drain in one side of my basement and under a porch."

"I'm very pleased. I had concerns about dust and fumes from the epoxy. The dust was minimal and fumes were not an issue at all. If I had to do it all over again, I'd set up a box fan with filters, as I've seen on YouTube, but even without that, the dust was not overwhelming. The workers arrived on time, explained what they were going to do and welcomed my checking in on them. When they went to lunch, they cleaned up their work area, (even put the toilet seat down in the basement bathroom), something I didn't expect at all. I had questions when they were at lunch, and the salesman got the answers I needed quickly. A couple of things I would change about this process: 1. After they were done, cleaned the area for the day, and put their equipment away, one of the workers invited me downstairs to approve their work. If I had not approved, it was a bit late for me to object as they were packed and ready to go. I suggest in the future the homeowner be asked for their approval before everything's packed up. Their work looked good, but this seemed like a manipulative tactic that wasn't appreciated. 2. The more experienced of the two workers explained early on that he needed to remove some insulation but assured me he'd put it back when he was done. When I saw that he'd not put it back, I mentioned it. He refused to put it back, saying "It doesn't matter". It was an odd way to end a perfect job up to that point. I was totally pleased with how everything was handled, and then that comment and behavior from him just put a bad taste in my mouth. That evening or the next day, I received a very nice gift from the company that was just a really nice touch. A couple of weeks later, we had heavy rains and I experienced water along the walls where the work was done. Within a week of me raising the concern, an arrangement for a technician to visit my home was made. I appreciate their prompt attention to the matter. I expect it's very simple like needing more epoxy at the base of the straps, so I decided to go ahead and submit this review. It's difficult to find trustworthy people to do work in your home. I'm very relieved I found a company that is totally worthy of that trust and highly recommend Acculevel. The work they did looks good and solid."

"Work was Done. Excellent job very professional service plumbers were extremely nice &price was right"

"A friend of mine recommended Livingston Plumbing & mech. to me when I was in need of a plumber. When I called they were very friendly and said someone would be out the next day to give me an estimate on what I needed done. Greg was there right on time. He was fast,friendly and his estimate was very reasonable. Greg got to work immediatly and was very professional. All of the plumbing that was done looks and works excellent. I would definitely hire this company again."

"They replaced the water supply connector, but didn’t bother to run the dishwasher when done to verify the repair. Turned out there was a hole in the bottom of the pan/tub, and the dishwasher needed to be replaced. I did that installation myself."

"They repaired two bathroom fans and a bedroom ceiling fan. Also installed a dishwasher. They looked for ways to save me money. Arrived on time and were both caring and professional. I would recommend!"
