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 & Installation in Clive, Iowa
Spring thaw and summer storms are when we hear from Clive 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.

Tree roots and the front yard
Mature trees are one of the nicer things about older Clive streets and one of the harder things on sewer lines. Roots do not break into a sound pipe - they find a joint that has already opened slightly and then widen it. Cutting them buys a season; lining the pipe ends it.

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

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