Sewage came up through the basement floor drain on a Sunday. They were out in about forty minutes and stayed until it was actually clear rather than just moving.

Sump Pump Repair & Installation in Algona, Iowa
A sump pump sits doing nothing for months and then has one job on the night a storm parks over Algona. That is also the night the power tends to go out, which is why we talk to nearly every Algona customer about a battery backup rather than only about the pump itself.
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.

Older sewer lines here are clay or cast iron
Plenty of Algona 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.

Sump pump died during a storm. Called at 11pm, got a person, had a new pump and a battery backup in the next morning. Basement stayed dry through the rest of the week.

Sump Pump Repair in Algona: common questions
How long does a sump pump last?
Seven to ten years is typical, less if it cycles heavily. If your Algona 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 Algona 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 Algona wet basement for far less money.
Do you have a plumber available in Algona right now?
Almost always. Our Algona line is answered around the clock, including nights, weekends and holidays. Call (833) 435-9778 and we will tell you honestly how soon a truck can be at your address rather than giving you a vague window.
