Sump Pump Troubles?

Proper Plumbing Delivers Quick Solutions

Sump pump issues are more than just a minor inconvenience—they can seriously disrupt your life and put your home at risk. If your sump pump isn’t doing its job, here’s what could happen:

  • Flooded Basement: A sump pump failure can leave your basement vulnerable to flooding, leading to extensive damage to your belongings and property.
  • Excess Moisture: When water seeps into your home, it increases humidity, which can trigger mold growth and even cause structural damage.
  • Unpleasant Odors: Stagnant water or persistent dampness can create foul smells that linger in your home, making it uncomfortable to live in.
  • Electrical Hazards: Water and electricity are a dangerous mix. A malfunctioning sump pump can create serious electrical risks if not addressed promptly.

If you’re noticing any of these red flags, it’s important to act fast.  These are symptoms of significant issues that need thorough, professional attention to prevent further damage and ensure your home remains safe and dry.

The two plumbers, Scott and Caleb, were on-time, very knowledgeable, and easy to talk to. They explained every option and advised about priorities vs. 'can wait'. They fixed my drainage problem quickly and using the simplest method. They also quote in bundles rather than each job/equipment separately. My daughter has also been pleased with their work.

I appreciate the responsiveness and professionalism of everyone at Proper Plumbing. They were easy to communicate with and schedule (phew!), and did a beautiful job on installing a new bathroom faucet, repairing what we broke trying to DIY, and making my guest bath work perfectly (no more sticking handle and drainage issues!).

Prior Proper Plumbing prevents poo and pee puddles was my first thought when I saw their van in town but in my case it was a poo and pee POND that I developed under my home. Scott came right out, assessed my problem, ordered a hazmat team to remove and sanitize the area and then Clint repaired the broken pipe and made some requested upgrades in the house. They were clean, neat and efficient and let me know what to expect along the way. Very good team.

We had a leak underneath our sink which I attempted to reepair myself with no success. I phoned Proper Plumbing & spoke with Brittany. She was friendly, exceptionally knowledgeable, and was ensured that she asked all needed questions to get the information to our technician.
Scott arrived at our home early the next day, and had our "problem" diagnosed and fixed within minutes. The drain hose from our dishwasher had slipped off the garbage disposal, causing the leak. I was ready to pay my bill, when Scott said "I really didn't repair or replace anything. There's no charge."
My wife and I were shocked, and we both agreed that with ethics like his, Scott now had us as life long customers. Kudos to Scott and as we later found out, his wife Brittany for such exceptional service.

From the estimate through delivery, Scott and his team were phenomenal. We needed our sewer line replaced, and the Proper Plumbing team did fantastic work AND educated us through the process. When we ran into new issues as they began work, Scott took time to talk me through the what and the why and, in many cases, suggested options for me to think through. I didn't feel pressured or upsold at all but his intention was making us happy with the end result.

It was clear from day one that the Proper Plumbing team cared deeply about getting our lives back to normal and minimized complexity wherever possible. I would highly recommend this group to anyone in the San Diego area in need of anything from simple plumbing jobs all the way to large, complex ones.

I interviewed a number of companies before choosing Proper Plumbing but their plan of attack and cost fit what we were looking for the best. 5 stars.

I needed my PRV replaced, and could not get the old one off for the life of me. Monday I called Proper Plumbing and was cheerfully assured by Brittany they could absolutely help me with this small job. As this was not an emergency, she scheduled me for a morning appointment that Thursday. Tuesday she called to let me know they had an opening for this Tuesday afternoon if I wanted it. Once accepted, Scott called immediately to get the details of the job and let me know the process. Within 1/2 hour of our conversation Clint arrived. Clint was extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and courteous, graciously waiting for me to finish up a work call. He quickly assessed the situation, explained my options, and let me decide what I thought was best for my situation. Scott called with my option pricing, and explained the work that would be done. Clint graciously let me take care of the paperwork so I could go back to my work. Everything was completed just as promised, and I could not be more pleased. Thank you all for making this as painless as possible, and double kudos to Clint - I cannot imagine a more pleasant interaction. I will be sure to call Proper Plumbing the next time my DIY project turns out to be more than I can handle on my own. Thanks again!!

The first time we called for a service Scott showed up within an hour of calling, he was professional, quick, & very upfront honest. He helped get our lines unplugged easily and walked us through each step of the way. We later found out Scott is the owner which made his service even more great. We have since called for little fixes as simple as a toilet swap. Each time has been quick, reasonable & very friendly.
