Sump Pump Repair & Installation in Waukee, Iowa

Spring thaw and summer storms are when we hear from Waukee 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 Waukee 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.

Waukee customers on our sump pump repair work

★★★★★

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.

Simone V. · Waukee, IA

★★★★★

Sewer camera before we finished the basement. Clean line, no work needed, and they said so. Plenty of places would have found something.

Rosalind K. · West Des Moines, IA

★★★★★

Called about a gas smell near the water heater. They told me to get out of the house first and call the utility, then came and found it. Took it seriously, which I appreciated.

Sump Pump Repair in Waukee: common questions

How long does a sump pump last?

Seven to ten years is typical, less if it cycles heavily. If your Waukee 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 Waukee 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 Waukee wet basement for far less money.

Do you work on commercial properties in Waukee?

Yes. Restaurants, salons, clinics, offices, churches and multi-tenant buildings across Waukee. We schedule outside trading hours at no extra cost so a repair does not cost you a day of business.
