Sump Pump Repair · Ankeny, Iowa
A sump pump sits doing nothing for months and then has one job on the night a storm parks over Ankeny. That is also the night the power tends to go out, which is why we talk to nearly every Ankeny 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.

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.

Woke up to water coming through the kitchen ceiling at about 4am. Somebody answered on the second ring, talked me through shutting the main off, and a truck was here inside the hour. Split pipe in the bathroom wall. Fixed and tested before I left for work.

Old galvanised pipes giving us brown water every morning. They repiped in PEX and explained the trade-offs against copper honestly instead of just pushing one.

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.

No hot water, not enough of it, or a puddle under the tank. Diagnosed and repaired the same day where the tank is worth saving.

Seven to ten years is typical, less if it cycles heavily. If your Ankeny 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.
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 Ankeny basements.
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.
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 Ankeny wet basement for far less money.
Usually within the hour for Ankeny addresses. When you call (833) 435-9778 we give you a real arrival window before you hang up, and we call again if anything changes it.
