"BE CAREFUL ABOUT THIS GUY -It was completely unprofessional and careless -The most unprofessional experience. From the start, it was clear I couldn?t trust them to do the job right without constant supervision. I had to spend my entire day watching over them just to get a simple water heater replacement done. Even with me standing there, they still managed to do sloppy work. The area was left a mess, tools and materials scattered everywhere, and they didn?t care to protect the space. Worst of all, they loosely installed the drain pan pipe, which could have caused a serious issue later. When I pointed it out, instead of fixing it properly, the guy just left without even trying to address the problem. "

"Could not get a firm price over the phone but agreed to the $ 89.00 minimum charge for them to come out and estimate with the understanding that, worst case, I could apply the $ 89.00 to just the haul away portion of the job. Once the technician wanted over $ 1,000 more than the $ 1,595 "base price" originally discussed to install the new water heater, (which was more than $ 700 more than another company had already quoted me), I said let's just do the haul away of the old one, and the technician said "we are an all-or-nothing-company" and that he would not haul away the old unit if I was not having the new one installed. I said that was not what was told to me on the phone and the technician said they record all their calls and he had "played the tapes" of my calls before he came. A strange claim, but okay, so I said "play the tape again" and he said "I don't need to play it again". If there had really been a tape and a misunderstanding we could have gotten to the bottom of it, but clearly he had no interest in that. I can accept high pressure sales and bait-and-switch tactics as techniques some companies will use to do business, but not drawing a line at dishonesty and abuse tells me this company does not know how to treat people right or do business ethically. I won't call this company again, ever."

"Satisfied customers reporting! We're writing this review four months after the completion of our bathroom renovation. We've been thrilled with the final product and the experience of signing with Ouri from day one was a pleasure. This was our first large project and we would undoubtedly hire Ouri again. Project We instinctively knew Ouri was the best fit for us after the on-site consultation. Not only are his reviews overwhelmingly positive, but he's knowledgeable, respectful, patient, and honest, with competitive pricing to boot. He's also a very responsive communicator. We needed some time after signing the contract to shop for materials. Ouri kindly rolled with our uncertain timeline, checking in periodically without any pressure to see where we were at and advising on any questions we had along the way. From the beginning of the project, his crew was respectful, clean, and always checked in with us as any questions came up. The project went smoothly and for one very minor hiccup that came up, Ouri & crew were quick to address without question. And months later, he sent a member of his crew to come troubleshoot something minor, again without any hesitation. It's challenging to keep these brief when you have such a great experience, especially when you read and hear about horror stories from other people. Selfishly, maybe we should keep this to ourselves so he isn't so busy when we need him for another project in the future :) Scope The bathroom was totally gutted save for some sections of drywall. A full tiled shower with a bench was installed (replacing a tiny old corner unit!), along with added lighting & exhaust fan, new floor tile, and all new fixtures/ cabinets/ paint. The plumbing and the shower drain were relocated. An old window was removed and replaced by a new one on an adjacent wall."

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.
