Sump Pump Repair & Installation in Iowa

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

The one pump in the house that only matters on the worst night of the year. Tested, repaired, replaced and backed up.

When to call

  • The pump runs constantly, or does not run at all
  • Water standing in the pit with the pump silent
  • Grinding, rattling or a loud hum without pumping
  • Visible rust or the pump is over seven years old
  • The pit fills faster than the pump clears it
  • No battery backup and the power goes out often

What we do

  • Pump, float switch and check valve tested under real load
  • Pit cleaned out so the float can travel freely
  • Discharge line checked for freezing and correct fall
  • Replacement pump sized to the pit and the water volume
  • Battery backup and high-water alarm options
  • Honest read on whether the pump can wait or should not

How a call with us goes

  1. Call and talk to a plumber

    You get a person, not a queue. Describe what is happening and we will tell you whether it needs someone now or can wait until morning.

  2. Get an arrival window before you hang up

    We tell you when a truck will be there and we call you if that changes. No four-hour windows and no silence.

  3. Agree the price before work starts

    The job is quoted flat once we have seen it. You agree to that number first, and it does not move if the work runs long.

  4. Fixed, tested and cleaned up

    We test what we repaired under real conditions, tidy the area, and tell you plainly what failed and what to keep an eye on.

What customers say about our sump pump repair work

★★★★★

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. · Des Moines, IA

★★★★★

Reliable is the main thing. Third time we have used them across two houses and it has been the same experience every time.

Gareth O. · Cedar Rapids, IA

★★★★★

Bought an older house and had them scope the sewer before closing. Found roots in two joints. We used the video to negotiate the repair into the sale. Best money I spent on that purchase.

Frequently asked questions

How long does a sump pump last?

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