"Thank you so much for coming to my rescue in a time of need! My basement was flooding, water coming in through the foundation, and I was exhausted from trying to keep up with it. You guys realized the importance of prioritizing me, and put in a sump pump to save the day. You are the best!" - Joanne Lipsy

"We've used A-1 a couple of times and are always pleased. All the cracks that have been repaired have held up beautifully and we are now enjoying a newly finished basement with no concerns about water due to the cracks!" - Brendan Kenahan

"Rich was very professional and sent his technician Andrew to do the work. Wasted no time, just stayed with it. He was very knowledgeable and indicated if there was any problems they would come back and fix them. No more leaks! It is good to know there are still companies that care and deal with the issues." - Rich B.

"A couple of weeks ago we had A1 out to do some work on the bulkhead at our home in Woodstock Valley, CT. So far we are extremely pleased with the performance of the injection, I'd say 2 days after the work we had 4 inches of rain in one evening, not a drop came in. I can sleep easier now about the decision we made last month to finish our basement, we love having the extra, dry, living space." - Ron Sanderson

Rich is a reputable and responsible businessman who we have worked with several times. His response to us is always prompt and professional. He is able to schedule appointments and provides pricing in advance of performing his service and there is no up-selling involved. We would use Rich and A-1 again and we refer him often with our complete confidence

I cannot thank you enough. What an incredible company you have. It's comforting to know that if there's another problem in the future, I know who to call!! - Barbara Salzman

"I would have to say your company is " A 1", in my book. I will see you again in the spring." - Valerie Curley

When is it time to replace your sump pump

Joseph Coupal - Thursday, June 17, 2010

How do you know when it's time to replace your sump pump? Some signs that your sump pump can't be repaired include: noisy units, it stops working completely and electrical problems.

Noisy Units - If your sump pump is making a load noise the entire time it's running, either the impeller is bent or the motor is going out. Turn your unit over and remove the screen, using your screwdriver. Inspect the impeller. If it is bent, you have no choice but to replace the unit.

Stops working Completely - If your sump pump doesn't turn on, first check to make sure the unit is plugged in and getting power. Make sure the breaker hasn't tripped in the main panel box. Use the electrical tester.

Manually operate the float to see if you can get the sump pump to work. Check the float switch with your electrical tester to make sure it's showing current. If the float check out OK, your motor is probably burned out. Replace the unit.
