Jones Services is now a NO CONTACT service company. Our plumbers, electricians and HVAC technicians are running NO CONTACT service calls. We literally stand in different rooms than our customers, emailing or reading out loud our findings. No handshakes, no paperwork, not even allowing customers to touch iPads. Our technicians wear disinfected gloves, use disinfected tools and whip down anything their gloves and tools touch after servicing equipment. We practice NO CONTACT at work now too. Technicians are not allowed in the office, equipment and parts are delivered to their trucks in the parking lot. Only one employee per vehicle. All company meetings are conducted via Zoom. Most office personal are working from home. Those in the office work apart from each other. No one wants to be quarantined with their toilets backing up, without water or electricity or heat or hot water and now without air conditioning or air filtration or air purification. We are doing everything we can to help all our employees stay health to protect ourselves and our customers.
"Any plumbing/heating issues I always use Jones. Although the price is a bit steep, the professionalism that I receive makes it worth every dime spent. I had no hot water & the next day I was able to get the work done. Any tech I have encountered has always been nothing less than a great! I had the pleasure of meeting initially meeting Mike, Matthew was the one that did the job. He was punctual & very professional from start to finish. Prior to starting the job, he confirmed the exact work he would be doing. Once the job was completed he took the time to do a walk-through, to which he was very thorough with providing an explanation of everything & patient with all my questions. Which didn’t make me feel like it was a rushed job & he more importantly didn’t leave any mess. It is always a pleasure doing business with them! They always meet my expectations."

Plus, the crew who he brought in to work with him was also pleasant and professional. I would absolutely hire Angelo again...in fact I already am!"

"⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Kevin at Total Plumbing is the absolute best! Our Navien combo system was acting up, and another company (T Webber) told us it needed to be replaced entirely—for $7,000—even though it was still under warranty and this fee was just for their labor! Thankfully, we called Kevin for a second opinion, and we’re so glad we did! Kevin quickly identified the real issue and assured us the unit didn’t need to be replaced, just repaired with a few new parts. He fixed everything for a fraction of the cost and saved us thousands of dollars. His honesty, expertise, and professionalism are unmatched. Thank you for being so reliable and trustworthy, Kevin! Highly recommend Total Plumbing to anyone in need of an honest and skilled plumber!"

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.
