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 Solon, Iowa
A sump pump sits doing nothing for months and then has one job on the night a storm parks over Solon. That is also the night the power tends to go out, which is why we talk to nearly every Solon customer about a battery backup rather than only about the pump itself.

Older sewer lines here are clay or cast iron
Plenty of Solon 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.

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.

Kitchen sink had been draining slowly for months. He cleared it, then showed me the grease he pulled out and explained why it kept coming back. No upsell, no drama, and the price was what I was quoted on the phone.

Sump Pump Repair in Solon: common questions
How long does a sump pump last?
Seven to ten years is typical, less if it cycles heavily. If your Solon 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 Solon 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 Solon wet basement for far less money.
Do you have a plumber available in Solon right now?
Almost always. Our Solon line is answered around the clock, including nights, weekends and holidays. Call (833) 435-9778 and we will tell you honestly how soon a truck can be at your address rather than giving you a vague window.
