"My tech, Tyson, was extremely helpful and informative. He explained everything that could be wrong and helped me come up with the best solution within my budget. My drains got unclogged and I would highly recommend Tyson and Rescue Rooter!!"

"Super good and fast. Only company to call me back after a leak sprung on the weekend. Replaced a section of pipe in my tight crawl space and installed a water shut-off valve under my sidewalk--all in less than 2 hours. No leaks. Easy to turn off water. They get paid by the job (not by the hour), so no wasted time. Plumbing is spendy though."

"Mike and his crew were swift and professional in their removal of my old water heater and installation of the new one. Their price was much fairer than any competing bids I received. I plan on working with them again when I require their services."

"The plumber arrived on time. Assessed the problems , made a bid and then went ahead and fixed the problems that same day. He made the bid , went out to buy the parts and returned to complete the installation . However I ended up paying over $425/ hour!!!! I thought it would be more difficult to fix the [problem but it only took the actual work about 5 hours total. I want to stress that my job was completed adequately. However, now I feel " taken" for the job provided."

"Jim showed up at my house the next business day after our phone conversation and provided a free estimate (some plumbing contractors charge to estimate a job.) My water heater was working fine, but it was about 20 years old so I wanted to replace it so as not to have to do it in a rush situation. I also wanted a shut-off valve installed on the main water line in my cellar, and a have valve added so I can drain my water lines. Jim offered some good suggestions for how to install the valves, and gave me a price that I thought was very reasonable. The following week, David showed up to do the plumbing. The work was done quickly and professionally, and I am very satisfied with the job. Evergreen Plumbing is a very good locally owned company, and I will recommend them to friends, and hire them for any future plumbing projects.

FAQs for sump pump or interior foundation drains installation projects in Salem, OR

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.
