Whole house repipe. They planned the access holes first, kept water on every night, and cleaned up properly each day. Five days and far less mess than I braced for.

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

Water pressure worth checking
A lot of Ottumwa homes run higher static pressure than they should, and high pressure quietly shortens the life of every valve, supply line and water heater in the house. It is a cheap thing to measure and an inexpensive thing to correct with a pressure reducing valve.

Sewage came up through the basement floor drain on a Sunday. They were out in about forty minutes and stayed until it was actually clear rather than just moving.

Great communication. Text when they were on the way, a photo of what failed, and the invoice matched the quote exactly. That should be normal and somehow it isn't.

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