Read moreWhat we see most in Iowa City
Spring thaw is when sump pumps get tested
A sump pump in Iowa City sits idle for months and then has one important night. That is usually also the night the power flickers. We check the float, the check valve and the discharge line, and we talk to most Iowa City homeowners about a battery backup, because an unbacked pump and a storm outage is how basements flood here.
Older sewer lines here are clay or cast iron
Plenty of Iowa City homes still run their waste out to the street through clay tile with a joint every few feet, and roots find every one of them. Cast iron scales shut from the inside instead. Either way, a main line that backs up twice in a year is telling you something a camera can confirm in twenty minutes.
Winter splits pipes in the same places every year
The runs that fail in Iowa City are predictable: supply lines in exterior walls, anything crossing an unheated crawl space, and hose bibs left connected in November. Ice rarely bursts the pipe where it forms - it bursts it downstream where the pressure has nowhere to go, which is why the damage often shows up somewhere that never froze.

Reviews from Iowa City and nearby
★★★★★
Toilet was rocking and had been for ages. Broken flange underneath. They repaired it properly rather than just adding another wax ring on top.
Imani C. · Iowa City, IA
★★★★★
Straightforward people. Told me the repair on my eleven year old heater would work but probably only buy me a year, gave me both prices, and let me decide. No pressure either way.
Nadia F. · Coralville, IA
★★★★★
Snapped shutoff valve under the sink flooded the cabinet. Same-day visit, replaced both angle stops while he was in there. Sensible.
