Two bathrooms remodelled and they did all the rough-in. Inspector had nothing to say, which apparently is the highest compliment available.

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

Toilet was rocking and had been for ages. Broken flange underneath. They repaired it properly rather than just adding another wax ring on top.

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