Sump Pump Repair & Installation in Waverly, Iowa

A sump pump sits doing nothing for months and then has one job on the night a storm parks over Waverly. That is also the night the power tends to go out, which is why we talk to nearly every Waverly 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.

Spring thaw is when sump pumps get tested

A sump pump in Waverly sits idle for months and then has one important night. That is usually also the night the power flickers. We check the float, the check valve and the discharge line, and we talk to most Waverly homeowners about a battery backup, because an unbacked pump and a storm outage is how basements flood here.

★★★★★

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

Tomas Y. · Waverly, IA

★★★★★

Called at 6am about no water in the house. Frozen line at the meter. He talked me through what to do while he drove over. Sorted by 8.

Baxter W. · Denver, IA

★★★★★

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 in Waverly: common questions

How long does a sump pump last?

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

Can you tell me what is wrong over the phone?

Often we can narrow it down, and sometimes we can tell you it is something you can fix yourself in five minutes. We would rather do that than send a truck you did not need.
