We are locally owned and provide service to Johnson County and surrounding areas. We pride ourselves on our level of customer service and attention to details. We take great pride in our projects and level of craftsmanship. We have the customer references to prove it!

"I reached out very late on a Tuesday evening and they replied promptly that same evening and got me on the schedule for the next morning. They were able to replace a capacitor and get the fan working again and the furnace is working great. My furnace is 20+ years old and I was impressed that they never once pressured me to buy a new one. They focused solely on getting it repaired and did so. Thank you!"

My name is Gary Tallman, and I am a semi-retired General Construction Remodeling Contractor of 35 years to Eastern Iowa. We are the home of the perfect install. A few years ago I decided to slow down a little and to simplify things a bit. We did this by narrowing our business advertising focus to primarily market for the repair and replacement of residential and commercial doors, windows, and skylights. It's been a perfect match for me because it takes a full skill set to do this work, and it helps to keep me off the taller ladders..and that makes me a happy craftsman :) I'd like to mention that we chose to honor the community by offering senior and military discounts.

We are a business that sub-contracts as well as our own private work. We have been in business for 21 years. We are a small family owned business and take pride in our work. I started building houses in 2012 by starting with my own house first. We don't like to push people into things they don't need and we don't sell just one kind of product. If you have something in mind from a certain place that you want, we will work with you on that. We only take cash or check. Since we are such a small business we are not set up with financing or credit cards. Sorry for the inconvenience.

FAQs for sump pump or interior foundation drains installation projects in Iowa City, IA

Most residential pumps draw approximately 1,300 to 2,900 watts when they first start, then settle at roughly 800 to 1,050 watts during normal operation. The exact number depends on the motor’s horsepower and how often the float switch tells the pump to run. Even at the high end, the electricity cost is minor compared with the expense of cleaning up a flooded basement.

Grab a ruler and an empty 18‑inch‑wide pit. During a steady rain, time how much the water rises in one minute. Multiply that depth (in inches) by 60 to calculate gallons per hour, then add 50% for safety. If the result tops 2,100 gallons per hour—about 35 gallons a minute—you’ll need a 3/4‑horsepower unit. Anything lower, and a 1/3- or 1/2-horsepower pump should do the trick.

Loud rattling, constant cycling, or shuddering vibrations are the pump’s way of telling you it’s on its last legs. Musty smells, higher electric bills, and visible rust are other red flags. If the unit is 10 years old or older and exhibits any of these symptoms, replace it before the next heavy rain turns your basement into a wading pool.

You don’t have to hire a licensed plumber, but you should still bring in someone who installs sump pumps for a living—whether that’s a plumber, basement‑waterproofing specialist, or experienced handyman. They know the local codes, can wire the pump safely, and will test the system before they leave. Skipping professional help might void the warranty and could leave you with a pump that fails when you need it most.

Not every basement needs a pump, but if your home sits in a floodplain, has a high water table, or has ever taken on water during a storm, a sump pump is inexpensive insurance. For basements that only struggle with condensation or the occasional damp spot, sealing cracks and improving drainage may be all that is needed.
