Sump Pump Repair & Installation in Adel, Iowa
Spring thaw and summer storms are when we hear from Adel basements. Most failures are boring and preventable - a float switch jammed against the side of the pit, a discharge line that froze shut over winter, a missing check valve letting water run back down, or a pump that has simply worn out at year eight.
Call (833) 435-9778 and describe what is happening. We will give you an arrival window before you hang up and a flat price before anyone starts work - the same price at 2am as at 2pm.

Winter splits pipes in the same places every year
The runs that fail in Adel 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.

They installed a new 50 gallon heater and hauled the old one away same visit. Took about three hours start to finish and the expansion tank was included, which the other quote had left off.

No hot water on the coldest morning of the year. Thermocouple. Out and fixed within two hours of my call, and he showed me where the reset is for next time.

Sump Pump Repair in Adel: common questions
How long does a sump pump last?
Seven to ten years is typical, less if it cycles heavily. If your Adel pump is past seven and you have not tested it, pour a bucket of water into the pit and watch what happens before storm season rather than during it.
Do I need a battery backup sump pump?
If your basement is finished, or if losing it would ruin things you care about, yes. Storms take the power out at exactly the moment the pump is needed most, and that is when unbacked pumps flood Adel basements.
Why is my sump pump running all the time?
Either the water table genuinely is that high, the float is stuck on, or the check valve has failed and the same water keeps draining back into the pit. The third one is common and cheap to fix.
Can you install a sump pump where there is not one now?
Yes, though it means cutting the basement floor for a pit. We look at where the water is coming in first, because sometimes a grading or gutter fix solves a Adel wet basement for far less money.
