Sink drained slow, laundry backed up, and it turned out to be the main. Jetted it and cameraed it after so we could see it was actually clear.

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

Hard water is the quiet problem here
Water across much of Cerro Gordo County carries enough mineral to scale the bottom of a water heater and fur up fixtures within a few years. If your Clear Lake tank has started rumbling or your hot water runs out sooner than it used to, sediment is usually why. A flush and an anode check often buys years, and a softener stops the cycle.

Toilet had been running for who knows how long. Quick visit, new flapper and fill valve, and my water bill dropped noticeably the next month. Wish I had called a year earlier.

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 Clear Lake: common questions
How long does a sump pump last?
Seven to ten years is typical, less if it cycles heavily. If your Clear Lake 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 Clear Lake 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 Clear Lake wet basement for far less money.
