"James and his son provide top-notch work and are an absolute pleasure to work with. I asked them to do a major upgrade on the house’s pipes and drains, and couldn’t be happier with the results, efficiency, professionalism, can-do attitude and responsiveness. I had minor other issues about 8 weeks later and James answered the call immediately and solved those items also. It goes without saying we’re now friends and the levels of trust are complete. He’s gone on to do work for my cousins and aunt, both on short notice and with completely satisfactory results. His quality of work is, basically, perfect. Thanks, James, for making my time in Denver working on my projects a success."

"The plumbing installation for the new shower went very well. Our plumbing technician was a journeyman which really gave us confidence that the work would be excellent. The company offers reasonable pricing and was great at helping us figure out the best course of action. I will be working with them again."

"Accommodated my schedule. Arrived timely. Did quality work. A bit expensive for a minor repair and I was asked to pay by check or cash as he couldn't reach his office after 5:00 PM to authorize my credit card."

"Mike Williams was the installer and did an excellent job. He had to deal with unusual wall coverings (slate tiles) but adapted well and took it in stride, altho it did make the job more difficult. He discussed all aspects of the job, and various options. Everynight the job site was clean and organized. The interior of the house was well protected and kept clean. He arrived on time and worked until he finished what was needed for that day. We enjoyed working with him He takes pride in his work, and works hard to make sure the job is done right, and looks good."

FAQs for sump pump or interior foundation drains installation projects in Watkins, CO

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.
