Our old cast iron stack was scaled almost shut. They jetted it and the difference was obvious immediately. Showed me before and after footage.

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

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

Our water heater quit on a Saturday with a house full of family. They came out the same afternoon, found a failed element rather than telling us we needed a new tank, and we had hot water back by dinner.

★★★★★
Faucet drip in the kitchen that two other people had failed to fix. Correct cartridge, ten minutes, done. Sometimes it just takes someone who carries the right parts.

Sump Pump Repair in Cedar Rapids: common questions
How long does a sump pump last?
Seven to ten years is typical, less if it cycles heavily. If your Cedar Rapids 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 Cedar Rapids 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 Cedar Rapids wet basement for far less money.
Do you work on commercial properties in Cedar Rapids?
Yes. Restaurants, salons, clinics, offices, churches and multi-tenant buildings across Cedar Rapids. We schedule outside trading hours at no extra cost so a repair does not cost you a day of business.
