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

Tree roots and the front yard
Mature trees are one of the nicer things about older Council Bluffs 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 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.

Sump Pump Repair in Council Bluffs: common questions
How long does a sump pump last?
Seven to ten years is typical, less if it cycles heavily. If your Council Bluffs 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 Council Bluffs 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 Council Bluffs wet basement for far less money.
