"I had a waterline added in the kitchen. They were a little expensive but they were timely and had great customer service. The plumber had to come back because the line was leaking but they sent someone to fix it the next business day. I would have given them a higher quality rating but they didn't turn the water heater back on after they finished the work."

"I had a couple of issues with my plumbing. Leaking faucets, slow drains, and a small leak in my master bedroom wall. Called We Plumb, Zach came out and diagnosed my issues, gave me options to fix and/or replace. All issues addressed, I called a week later and got my waterheater replaced. I found my go to plumber."

"SALT installed 3 exterior light fixtures. Treyvon was my electrical technician. And he had a second tech with him (I don't remember his name). They were both very courteous, knowledgable, and thorough. Trey checked in with me often during the work, explaining what his next step was and asking if I wanted him to proceed. I also liked that when the job was completed he double-checked all his work, each step, to make sure it was done correctly. They made sure that all switches in electric panel were back on when finished and all lights were operating before they left. Trey answered all my questions. I gave 4.5 stars only because he left two marks on the wall around the plate he installed."

"They were fine. They were pricey. Except for the price it was excellent. The drain engineer they sent was very pleasant and knew what he was doing. He was very careful to not let the cats out."

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.
