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

Bought an older house and had them scope the sewer before closing. Found roots in two joints. We used the video to negotiate the repair into the sale. Best money I spent on that purchase.

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 Manchester: common questions
How long does a sump pump last?
Seven to ten years is typical, less if it cycles heavily. If your Manchester 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 Manchester 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 Manchester wet basement for far less money.
What should I do while I wait for the plumber?
For anything involving running water, shut the main valve off and open the lowest faucet in the house to drain the pressure. For a gas smell, get everyone outside first and call from there. For a backup, stop using every fixture in the house, not just the one that is blocked.
