"Our sump pump quit working and I called early, 6 30, expecting to get voice mail. Jim answered and got me a technician to replace the sump pump before noon. The technician was courteous and had the pump fixed in less than an hour. I highly recommend this Roto Rooter."

"The company was able to come out to look at our sinking garage within a week of initial contact. Reo confessed that he had never seen a garage laid without footings, and he wasn't sure how much it would cost to add them. I had another company come look and give me an estimate and called Reo back. Reo said he was confident he could do the job if needed, but if the other company had done it before, he would recommend using their service instead of his. While ultimately I did not hire this company, I appreciated their honesty and professionalism, and would not hesitate to call them for basement work or other work more in the scope of what they do."

"Great company to work with from start to finish. Not only did the crew come in time each day, they came early! They did great work and were the best value hands down. They were almost half the cost of the other guys who quoted our job. They added new concrete footers,new posts and reinforced the joists in my old basement beefier lifting it a bit. Great job all the way! I will be calling them soon to add a new sump pump at our new house now."

"We called 3 different companies for quotes. During the process of scheduling times with companies Daughenbaugh Construction was referred to me by a close friend that had them finish their basement. So we also scheduled an appointment with them. We met all 4 .Small things that Dave told us ,"which are big things ". Like Dave pulling his tool bags out of his truck and saying I will be the man that you see everyday on site building this , I'm not a salesmen I'm a carpenter really couldn't have rang more true to us. Having used a G.C. company in the past for our own basement there was a constant lack of communication between all parties because they were all hired out and controlled by a manager that was under staffed and behind on everything. Daughenbaugh Construction went way above and beyond what we had ever experienced. Just having the owner on site everyday to discuss concerns or options made for a great experience vs having to constantly call an owner that was too busy and basically made us deal with all the contracted help ourselves and was terrible beings we are not or were not construction minded. When u see the owner Dave grab the nail gun for framing and lead his guys , to then see him install hardwood floors as a leader just to prove to you the owner he knows what he is doing and also showing his men how it should work is really a site to see. Dave will educate you the whole way on today's standards and building codes to let you know why he's doing what he's doing even when u don't even ask. He wants to teach and is one of the greatest qualities I found in this company. Don't pass up a small business that will save you money and give you the attention you deserve .

"AHS is ok. They cover repairs of most everything under the roof of your house. The companies that contract with them are not always the best. You call AHS with the issue, they send a fax to the repair company and give you the contact info. If they don't contact you within 24 hours, you call them. Sometimes they answer, sometimes they don't. When they arrive (usually three days or so later), they service the item. if it has issues within the 90 days, you call AHS again, they are sent out with no charge. If the serviceman decides the unit is unrepairable, AHS will allow you to choose a replacement from their listing (usually not as good as what you have) they will install and remove your old item, or give you wholesale amount to buy and install your own. Prices vary on what you want covered and what you want the copay to be, plus where you live. For me it is 49.99 per month with a 75.00 time of service order. You can have more than one item serviced at the same time under the same fee. If you have a SEAR product the repair guys are great. Not that wild about the other ones they send out. But it is a big savings compared to calling someone on your own. The cost of service is only the 75.00 copay."

FAQs for sump pump or interior foundation drains installation projects in Truro, 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.
