Called about a gas smell near the water heater. They told me to get out of the house first and call the utility, then came and found it. Took it seriously, which I appreciated.

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

Well water changes what you need
Homes outside the Coralville municipal supply often deal with iron and sulphur alongside hardness, and a plain softener will not handle all three. We test before recommending anything, because the wrong equipment on well water either fails early or does nothing.

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.

Emergency call for a burst pipe in a commercial unit. They stabilised it that night and came back to do the permanent repair when we were closed.

Sump Pump Repair in Coralville: common questions
How long does a sump pump last?
Seven to ten years is typical, less if it cycles heavily. If your Coralville 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 Coralville 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 Coralville wet basement for far less money.
Can you tell me what is wrong over the phone?
Often we can narrow it down, and sometimes we can tell you it is something you can fix yourself in five minutes. We would rather do that than send a truck you did not need.
