"A little inexperience with my particular faucet caused the genttleman to give some incorrect advice but it was minor. Great customer service otherwise and nothing that a few more years of experience won't fix. Friendly and customer focused. I would definitely hire again and will."

"Garrett’s Plumbing was a life saver. I have a copper waterline on the ice maker of my old refrigerator. No delivery company wanted to install the new refrigerator because of the copper waterline. Garrett’s plumbing came, assessed and fixed the problem. Now I’m just waiting for delivery of the new refrigerator. Thank you Garrett’s Plumbing."

"I've worked with Nathan with Piped Rite Plumbing extensively in three different capacities: for my own home, for my employer's properties, and as President of a 79-unit condominium community built in the 1960s. I can honestly say he's the best plumber I've worked with. Nathan is knowledgeable, responsive, and incredibly thorough. He's helped us solve everything from aging cast iron plumbing and water heater replacements to difficult leak investigations and preventative maintenance. He doesn't just fix the immediate problem- he takes the time to explain what's happening, offers practical solutions, and helps us make decisions that are in the best long-term interest of the property. What really sets Nathan and Piped Rite apart is professionalism. They arrive when they say they will, communicate clearly, treat homeowners with respect, and leave the work area clean. Whether it's a small residential repair or a large community project, I recommend Piped Rite Plumbing without hesitation."

FAQs for sump pump or interior foundation drains installation projects in Austin, TX

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.
