"So, I am a research fanatic. In 2018, I researched companies and I settled on All About Plumbing. -At the time, I wanted just an on-demand water heater. I hired them for that installation. - Then I hired them to replace PEX plumbing and my water line. - Then I hired them to install a sump-pump. - Then I hired them to install a whole-House water filter. - Most recent hire was today for servicing our on-demand Water Heater, servicing / replacing filter in our whole-house water heater, and installing a kitchen faucet. I HIGHLY recommend them to everyone who asks. I would have hired them to replace our HVAC system if I had known then (in 2018) that they do Plumbing, Septic, and HVAC! We have them service our HVAC, now. I recommended them to my neighbor who called them in the afternoon about a broken water heater flooding her house and they worked until 8 PM to get her HW back on and working. ALL ABOUT PLUMBING out od Hendersonville is the BEST."

"Doug was my technician. I really appreciated the call that he was twenty minutes away and really like that he was on time. COVID mask was worn the entire time Doug was here. Crawling under the farm sink was not easy, Doug never complained or grumbled, and this is why I hire someone who knows what heâ s doing. I would recommend and call Benjamin Franklin Plumbing for future jobs."

"Jason did a nice job. He determined that the old (leaking) water line had been laid under the (asphalt) driveway, and that it was thus cheaper simply to install a new waterline. That proved difficult due to the compacted clay around the house, and because the slab was solid concrete, but he persevered and we now are enjoying water without an "enhanced" monthly bill. His price was quite reasonable, and he was very professional."

"When I first called for a quote, Patrick went out of his way to come by that day and look at the problem and give his opinion and quote. He recommended a sump pump and he and his crew arrived on time on the day scheduled, explained in detail what they would be doing, and got right to work. They did the install, moved things back into place and cleaned up all in just a few hours. I was very happy with their work and obvious knowledge and explanations. Patrick was also kind enough to give me some valuable advice on another job I was having done by another company that improved that outcome. The cost was right in line with the other quotes I had received and I felt a good value for the money. I highly recommend the Ulbrich Brothers."

"I wish that they at least look through a camera to see what was clogging the drain. The team was nice, polite, and clean. But, the cost was a bit too much for just running the snake through the pipe, and not knowing the root cause of the problem. They need a camera!"

FAQs for sump pump or interior foundation drains installation projects in Asheville, NC

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.
