Hot water ran out after one shower. Sediment had taken half the tank. Flush and a new anode rod and it has been fine for two years.

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

Older sewer lines here are clay or cast iron
Plenty of Indianola homes still run their waste out to the street through clay tile with a joint every few feet, and roots find every one of them. Cast iron scales shut from the inside instead. Either way, a main line that backs up twice in a year is telling you something a camera can confirm in twenty minutes.

They replaced our old tank with a tankless unit and actually upsized the gas line to do it properly. The previous quote we had did not mention the gas line at all, which I now understand would have been a problem.

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