Basement flooding and sewer backup in Erie
Plumbers for backwater valves, sump pumps and drains.
12 pros in Erie
Erie sits on Lake Erie, and its normals show what that means for a basement: 104.3 inches of snowfall a year, with 31.8 inches in January alone, on top of 42.98 inches of total yearly precipitation. January highs average only 35.2°F, so heavy snow often sits for a while and then melts into the ground around your foundation. Sump pumps, drains and waterproofing do their hardest work in that thaw. When you hire for basement flooding prevention in Erie, Fairview, Edinboro, Waterford or Girard, check registration first. Pennsylvania's Home Improvement Consumer Protection Act requires contractors to register with the Office of Attorney General, with exceptions for small contractors and large retailers. The registration number must appear in ads and contracts, and the law sets minimum insurance and required contract terms. Ask to see the number, ask for proof of insurance, and make sure the written contract states the scope of the work.

Before you hire
Ask which permits the job needs and who will get them; your municipal building department can tell you before work starts.
Get written quotes from at least three contractors for the same work, and check references from recent clients.
Put it in a written contract: the work, price, deposit, start and finish dates, warranty, permits and clean-up. Paying cash to skip it leaves you no recourse.
Questions about hiring in Erie
Does a basement waterproofing contractor in Pennsylvania have to be registered?
Generally yes. Pennsylvania's Home Improvement Consumer Protection Act requires anyone who offers or performs home improvements to register with the Office of Attorney General. The exceptions are small contractors and large retailers. Ask for the registration number before you accept a quote, and keep a note of it.

Where should I look for a contractor's registration number?
The law requires contractors to give their registration number in their ads and in their contracts. If a quote or contract leaves it out, ask why. The same law sets minimum insurance requirements, so ask for proof of insurance too. Pennsylvania Office of Attorney General (source, opens in a new tab)
What should a basement flooding quote include?
A good quote names the work in plain terms: which drains, pumps or valves are being installed or repaired, where, and with what materials. It should show the schedule, the payment terms and any warranty in writing, so you can compare quotes line by line.
Why does snow matter for basement flooding in Erie?
Erie's normal snowfall is 104.3 inches a year, with 31.8 inches in January. Cold winter temperatures keep that snow on the ground, and when it melts the water collects around foundations. That makes a working sump pump and good drainage worth checking before winter ends. National Weather Service Cleveland (source, opens in a new tab)
