No hot water on the coldest morning of the year. Thermocouple. Out and fixed within two hours of my call, and he showed me where the reset is for next time.

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

Snapped shutoff valve under the sink flooded the cabinet. Same-day visit, replaced both angle stops while he was in there. Sensible.

New disposal and a dishwasher connection that the last installer had done wrong. Fixed both, and pointed out the wrong one rather than quietly leaving it.

Sump Pump Repair in Decorah: common questions
How long does a sump pump last?
Seven to ten years is typical, less if it cycles heavily. If your Decorah 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 Decorah 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 Decorah wet basement for far less money.
Can you come out the same day in Decorah?
Yes, most Decorah calls are handled the same day, and genuine emergencies - flooding, sewage backups, no water, gas smells - get moved to the front of the queue immediately.
