They came out to a rental I own after hours because the tenant had no water. Kept me updated by phone the whole time even though I was three hours away.

Sump Pump Repair & Installation in Marion, Iowa
Spring thaw and summer storms are when we hear from Marion 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.

Well water changes what you need
Homes outside the Marion 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.

Fast, polite, and they put down drop cloths without being asked. Small thing, but it tells you how the rest of the job is going to go.

Second opinion on a quote to dig up our whole sewer line. They cameraed it, found one bad section, and lined it for a fraction. Saved us thousands.

Sump Pump Repair in Marion: common questions
How long does a sump pump last?
Seven to ten years is typical, less if it cycles heavily. If your Marion 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 Marion 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 Marion wet basement for far less money.
Do you serve the smaller towns around Marion?
We do. Our Marion coverage extends through the surrounding communities, and we run across the whole state, so being outside the city limits does not mean waiting longer or paying a travel premium.
