Shower had been running cold randomly for months. Turned out to be the balancing cartridge, not the whole valve like another company told us. Fixed in under an hour.

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

Tree roots and the front yard
Mature trees are one of the nicer things about older Spirit Lake streets and one of the harder things on sewer lines. Roots do not break into a sound pipe - they find a joint that has already opened slightly and then widen it. Cutting them buys a season; lining the pipe ends it.

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.

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 Spirit Lake: common questions
How long does a sump pump last?
Seven to ten years is typical, less if it cycles heavily. If your Spirit Lake 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 Spirit Lake 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 Spirit Lake wet basement for far less money.
Do you serve the smaller towns around Spirit Lake?
We do. Our Spirit Lake 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.
