"Never in my life have I experienced a better contractor"
Pavel and his team are by far the best contractors I have ever worked with. I had a sump pump and back valve and main drain issue. He came and fixed everything in one day – the work was done perfectly and at a very reasonable price compared to other industrial plumbers. Since then there have been a few other issues that I have called Pavel about. He is always around to answer his phone – and he always stops by almost immediately to help. Never in my life have I experienced a better contractor. I very highly recommend Pavel and his team!

Before Installing a Sump Pump
- Understand the location of your sewer server line because this is where the water from the basement will drain into.
- Understand the location of the homes main water line because you might end up puncturing the main piping. You could also compromise the quality of the water getting into the home depending on the position of the pit that you install in relation to the water supply.
- Understand the thickness of the concrete and the gravel beneath it before starting the digging process.
- Get a sump pump that has a backup battery so it can function when there is a power outage, which happens a lot when it floods.
- Get an expert who can do sump pump repair and maintenance when needed.

"Crew was helpful and courteous"
Pavel at MT Drains was very helpful in assessing the problem of water seeping through the back wall of my old house into the basement. Required cutting the deck to dig down 5 or 6 feet and waterproofing the wall with membrane and sealant and laying weeping tile. Also installed a sump pump to drain in case of excess water. Work was done over 4 days. Crew was helpful and courteous.
FAQ
The excess water can get into your house by many means such as from flooding, leaking faucets, and other plumbing and will naturally flow to the lowest part of your home. Most of the pumps have an automated flotation system which automatically switches on and starts pumping the water once it reaches a certain level. The water is pumped out of the house and drained away from your home’s foundation, leading to flood prevention and preserving the home’s structural integrity.
The two main types are submersible and pedestal sump pumps. Submersible pumps are designed to function while submerged in water, while pedestal pumps sit above the water level.
Submersible pumps are quieter, more powerful, and can handle larger volumes of water but are typically more expensive. Pedestal pumps are not as powerful, but they are easier to maintain and have a longer lifespan.
Yes, sump pumps can be hardwired into your home’s electrical system, or they can be battery-powered for backup purposes.
Yes, if a sump pump fails or is overwhelmed by the volume of water, it can result in a flooded basement. Regular maintenance and testing can help prevent this.
Common issues include clogged discharge lines, stuck switches, worn out motors, or power failures. Regular maintenance can prevent most of these issues, but some may require professional repair.

It is recommended to service your sump pump at least once a year. However, if your sump pump runs frequently due to high water tables or wet weather, you might need to check it more often.
