SALT has been Austin, TX #1 Electrician since 1984. We take on a wide range of electrical projects to include full installation for additions and remodels as well as wiring and panel upgrades and a variety of other jobs. Were committed to providing a personalized service for each individual project we take on & look forward to building strong, long-term relationships with our clients and guarantee your satisfaction.
"Management is completely unreliable, unavailable, and lacks integrity. Many of them are frequently drunk or high on the job. If you have a maintenance issue, expect to be upsold on expensive, unnecessary services that could actually damage your system. If you purchase an HVAC system from this company?costing anywhere from $20,000 to $30,000?you?ll likely experience multiple issues on the very first day due to poor installation. Many customers have had to replace their entire system within six months, only to be charged extra for the replacement. The HVAC team is inexperienced, with most technicians having less than a year in the trade, and the company has multiple EPA violations. As for electrical work?good luck! Most of the electricians are unlicensed trainees who should not be working on your home without proper certification."

Your local water treatment experts sense 1987. We install industry-leading water treatment systems and water heaters at the highest professional standards. We also provide FULL bathroom remodels, transforming old run down bathrooms into the oasis homeowners dreamed of.
"They replaced the gas water heater in my attic on the date and time they said they would, they cleaned up after themselves and took off the old water heater as agreed. This was a bit of a rush job since my old water heater quit working correctly and my sister was coming to visit. They contacted me within 15 minutes of my request for a quote through Angie but I felt like they could have done a better job of communicating with me at times through the process to ensure I knew they were on track to get it done on the date/time requested."

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.
