Hot water ran out after one shower. Sediment had taken half the tank. Flush and a new anode rod and it has been fine for two years.

Sump Pump Repair & Installation in Burlington, Iowa
Spring thaw and summer storms are when we hear from Burlington 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.

Grease is the leading cause of kitchen line calls
Most of the kitchen drains we cable in Burlington are lined with cooled grease rather than blocked by any single object. It goes down warm and sets on the pipe wall a few feet along. Once that layer is thick enough, one bowl of rice finishes the job.

They replaced our old tank with a tankless unit and actually upsized the gas line to do it properly. The previous quote we had did not mention the gas line at all, which I now understand would have been a problem.

Frozen pipe in the crawl space. They thawed it carefully, watched it come back under pressure to check for splits, then insulated the run. Has not happened again.

Sump Pump Repair in Burlington: common questions
How long does a sump pump last?
Seven to ten years is typical, less if it cycles heavily. If your Burlington 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 Burlington 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 Burlington wet basement for far less money.
Do you have a plumber available in Burlington right now?
Almost always. Our Burlington 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.
