Basement flooding and sewer backup in York
Plumbers for backwater valves, sump pumps and drains.
12 pros in York
York's flood memory is tied to Hurricane Agnes. During the rains of June 21-22, 1972, the National Weather Service reported 13.50 inches of rain in York in 24 hours, and the Codorus Creek essentially cut the city in two. That history is why a basement here is judged on how it handles heavy, fast water, not only a damp wall. Whether you are looking at a sump pump, a french drain, a drain repair or waterproofing, ask how the work will cope with a storm of that kind. Before you hire, check the contractor's registration. Pennsylvania's Home Improvement Consumer Protection Act requires contractors who do a set yearly amount of home improvements to register with the Office of Attorney General. Ask for the registration number, a written quote that names the work and materials, and what happens if water still gets in after the job.

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 York
What happened in York during Hurricane Agnes?
During the June 21-22, 1972 rains, the National Weather Service reported 13.50 inches of rain in York in 24 hours, and the Codorus Creek essentially cut the city in two. It is a useful reminder to ask any contractor how a sump pump or drain system would handle a very heavy rainfall. abc27 (WHTM) (source, opens in a new tab)
Does a basement waterproofing contractor in Pennsylvania need to be registered?
Pennsylvania's Home Improvement Consumer Protection Act requires contractors who perform a set yearly amount of home improvements to register with the Office of Attorney General. Ask to see the registration number before signing anything, and confirm it matches the name on the quote and contract. Pennsylvania Office of Attorney General (source, opens in a new tab)
What should a quote for a sump pump or french drain include?
A good quote names the work area, the equipment and materials, where the water will discharge, the start and finish timing, and the payment schedule. It should also state any warranty in writing and say who handles permits and cleanup. Get the same details from each contractor so you can compare.
How can I compare quotes for basement flooding prevention?
Ask each contractor to explain what causes the water in your basement, since a sump pump, drain and wall sealing solve different problems. Compare the scope, the materials and the warranty terms side by side, and be cautious of any quote that skips an inspection or does not name the cause.
