"We had a great experience with Omega Force and their technician, Nate, for our refrigerator repair. Nate went above and beyond to troubleshoot the issue and explore cost-saving options for us. Ultimately, we needed an expensive part, but the team made the process smooth and stress-free. They quickly ordered the part, repaired the refrigerator."

"We are totally pleased with the fast response and excellent quality work from WindRiver Exteriors. After finding mold in our basement bedroom and bath, we had a mold remediation group remove the mold. This included removing the bathroom ceiling and sections of the wall and flooring in the bedroom and bath. WindRiver responded promptly to our request for an estimate to restore the damaged areas and quickly were able to schedule our job. The work required a number of different skills including replacing sheet rock in several areas, replacing subflooring, carpet, baseboards and trim and then painting the damaged areas. George kept us informed when different parts of his team would work. All the members of his team were polite, informative and skilled in their jobs.

Most 1/3 to 1/2-horsepower sump pumps use 1,300 to 2,900 watts to start up. Then, they use 800 to 1,050 watts to continue running until the reservoir is empty.
To find the right sump pump size, dig out your 18-inch-wide reservoir and observe the water accumulation on a rainy day. Start with an empty reservoir and watch the rainfall for one full minute. Measure the depth of the rainwater in inches and multiply by 60 to find the total number of gallons that build up. Multiply that number by 1.5 for a bit of wiggle room. If it’s more than 35 gallons per minute, get a 3/4-horsepower unit. Otherwise, 1/3 to 1/2-horsepower models will work.
If your sump pump is making a lot of noise, it may be time for a replacement. Other signs that your sump pump may be damaged include sump pump odors, a spike in your utility bills, or excessive pump vibrations.
You don’t necessarily need a plumber to install a sump pump. You may want to hire a handyperson or a specialized sump pump repair pro to handle the replacement or installation.
Not every basement needs a sump pump. You only need a sump pump if your basement floods during light to heavy rain. If you notice basement condensation instead, you might need basic waterproofing services.
