PDM Plumbing

Testimonials

Mr. Ruby Mahalik, Jr.
When I answered the door I met your repairman Brian. Although his shirt identified him he cheerfully introduced himself and informed me he was here to check my sump pump. Being a utility company manager for many years his approach is the kind most of us appreciate.

We went to the basement where he quickly made a few preliminary checks and suggested that based on age, we replace the pump. I agreed and signed the contract he presented.

Brian then proceeded with his work in a proficient skillful manner. The work area was kept clean and orderly so were his equipment.

Perhaps I’m getting fussier in my later years but these things tell me about the quality of the work I will receive. He is a credit to PDM. By the way my association with PDM goes back to 1946 with Frank Poehner. Thanks for good service.

Toilets account for 26.7 percent of all
indoor water use, according to a 1999 study
of 14 cities by the American Water Works Association Research Foundation.

Replacing an old toilet with a new 1.6-gpf model
can save the typical household 7,900 gallons to 21,700 gallons of water per year, thus saving
money on water and sewer bills. Continue

New sump pump installation

If you're tired of mopping up after a rain storm, let the oldest plumber help.

Water generally seeps into the basement because water pressure was building up around your foundation. Water naturally seeks the path of least resistance and enters through cracks in your walls or floors. And if it stays wet you may see unhealthy black mold growing.

Our job is to design a way to collect water seeping in the walls or under the basement floor through a series of pipes that empty into a sump pit. The sump pit is placed at the lowest point in the basement. A sump pump then expels the water and keeps your basement dry.

Installing a new pit and pump will take us most of a day, but you'll love the results. Call PDM for help.

To install a sump or ejector pit:

Break out a 4' x 4' area of your concrete floor with a jackhammer
Dig down about 30 inches, install a plastic pit liner
Surround with coarse gravel to help move water out.
Connect drain line to existing indoor line up to 20’
Upper half of the pit liner is perforated to allow water to seep in and collect at the bottom.
A float-activated submersible pump at the bottom of the sump pit automatically pumps out the water when it reaches a preset level.
To finish the job, we pour a new concrete floor around the sump pit to match the original floor. A clean, neat, professional job.
For backup protection, we recommend a battery operated backup pump. It will switch automatically to battery current when power fails or your main pump fails or requires more pumping power.

You'll receive courteous, trained technicians, quality products, pricing before work begins, "100% satisfaction guarantee" and a proven track record. You won't go wrong, guaranteed. Please call or order help online today.

Do You Need Help Moving Wastewater?

Sewage Ejector Pump is your answer.

Occasionally, a toilet or even a sink needs to be installed below the nearest sewer or septic line, and the waste from the drain must be lifted to the level of the main drain.

A sewage ejector pump solves this problem and is used when wastewater cannot flow to its destination by means of gravity at a velocity of at least 2 feet per second. PDM is an expert in sewage ejector repair, replacement and installation.

New sewage ejector pump installation.

PDM installed some of the first submersible wastewater pumps in the mid-1950s. We've seen and done it all.

Ejector pumps can be installed in wet pits or sewage basins and typically sits in a hole cut through the concrete slab floor. By installing the ejector beneath the floor, the fixture need only be raised minimally to accommodate the flange and waste pipe.

Installation. Concrete cutting and removal as well as digging down a few feet will add to the cost of installation.

Use the oldest and most experienced plumber for proper sizing and installation of a sewage ejector system. Please call or order help online today.

Oh No. The Power Is Out And Water Is Rising.
Battery Backup Sump Pump Is Your Best Insurance.

Stay dry in the worst of situations.

At some point your main sump pump will fail as a result of a power outage, main pump failure, float switch failure or the inability to keep up with incoming water capacity.

A backup pump is an inexpensive insurance policy eliminating the headaches and cost associated with a flooded basement.

Your AC DC battery backup pump will switch automatically to battery current when power fails or your main pump breaks.
It also can pump along with your main pump when there is more water than your main pump can handle.
Pumps 1000 to 2200 gallons per hour
Alarm to notify you service is needed. Great insurance.

Basement Flooding

If your basement is wet, most likely water pressure was building up around your foundation. Water naturally seeks the path of least resistance and enters through cracks in your walls or floors. The result…a wet basement. If it stays wet you may see unhealthy black mold growing. Sump pumps usually are a solution.

"I have a sump pump that works except during heavy rains. Plumbers have recommended a new sump pump or a larger sump pump, but the symptom remains: too much water. What else can cause my basement flooding?"

Over the years we've seen a lot of flooding problems. Sometimes a back-up sump pump is needed to handle the added volume of water. But excessive flooding can also be caused by two other problems: drain-tiles and water run-off.

Drain-tile, weeping tile or footing drains are pipes placed around your home's foundation, maybe 12" to 18" below your basement floor depth.

Drain-tile collects groundwater during rainfall or when your garden beds are irrigated. On older homes, groundwater trickles to the drain-tile entering a clay tile at the joint. Newer homes use plastic perforated PVC drainage tubing or pipe.

Blocked drain-tiles. From time to time, especially after many years of use, drain-tile can crack or become plugged with debris. Downspouts connected directly to the drain-tile will sometimes carry sediment and rotting leaves which have landed on the roof. Soils can also build up in the drain-tile.

The consequence of non functioning drain-tiles might be water seeping through the porous concrete foundation or leaving a damp mark on the basement floor or foundation wall or more serious flooding. The vast majority of blocked drain-tile repairs calls for the excavation and replacement of the clogged section.

Water run-off: grading problem. Do you notice your landscape or property grade allows water to flow towards your home rather than away? Heavy rains could be overwhelming your drain-tiles and sump pump capacity which means basement flooding. Your solution can involve building up soil around your home or grading your land to force rain water away from your home. The less water around your home the better.
