Customers say: Quick response

"Yet again I schedule an appointment almost 3 months out and again there are no show. We have spent thousands over the years with John Henry and I've had them come out to do everything but this past year they do nothing but cancel on us they don't show up when we have the schedule appointment. In the last year their customer service and reliability has gone down considerably and I cannot in good faith recommend this company to anybody. We pay a monthly service to have them come out and it is not worth it. And then when you try to speak to somebody on the phone they just act like they don't care. People take time off of work to schedule an appointments around what works for them!! They are way over priced, and always try to sell you new equipment when there's nothing wrong with what you have!! "

"Current trying to get John subpoenaed to go to out court date on December 11th at 10:00 a.m. Cass county Ne. John agreed to give me back my $12,000 + payment if I did not leave any bad reviews. He received over $19000 and did not even come close to finishing the work and not one time came to the job site. "

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