"They were able to help me out when my pipes burst with the big freeze in 2/21. They were understandably busy and got to me when they could, but the repairs were done quickly and at a better price than I was expecting."

"I had 50 feet of natural gas line installed from my gas meter to a location near my patio. I specified a very specific location for the gas riser near the patio and Vossler nailed it perfectly! John and Donald were the technicians and they were professional as well as personable. I highly recommend Vossler for any gas line or plumbing projects."

"My 30-year old hot water heater broke. I contacted my home warranty repair company and, unfortunately, the timeline for service would have been 2 weeks out. That was unreasonable on many points. After waiting 4 days without hot water, I contacted ARS. First, they responded immediately. I set consultation for next day and the salesperson arrived on time, completed the consultation and arranged the install the same day. 2 hours later, two technicians arrived (Christian and Anthony) and WOW! From the moment they arrived until completion their execution, professional prowess and attention was beyond excellent. They kept me informed, removed the old equipment and installed the new upgrade flawlessly. I am so impressed with their performance that I am actually going to schedule my a/c, plumbing and routine maintenance with them going forward. I could say much more, but will in only one word--SUPERB! Many thanks."

FAQs for sump pump or interior foundation drains installation projects in Houston, 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.
