"I thought a plumber would just snake the drain and pipe from the tub. But the snake wouldn't go through the up and down of the brass pipe. They replaced the pipe and put on a new spout and drain stopper for a better price than previous plumber wanted for snaking the drain. In my home less than 2 hours. All of impressed me."

"Local Plumbing and Drain came out to my home to redo all my galvanized lines to copper and replace my water heater. They did a great job and have great craftsmanship. The new copper looks so much better than the old galvanized and our water flow has improved greatly. Highly recommend Local Plumbing and Drain!"

"The gentleman that came out and gave me the quote was on-time and went through everything with me. Then I can home from work on a Monday and the yard had flags where the sprinkler heads were going, not knowing someone was going to be on my property. I had to called the office and was told they planned to install the system on that Friday, not asking me if that day would work or not. (This is where the problem started). Then on Wednesday they called and told me a piece of equipment broke and they had to push the schedule. We rescheduled for the following week. Friday, April 13th, the plumber came out to do their piece of work, they were subcontracted by Nature's Helper. This is where it go worse, the plumber decided to use my trash can (that was in use) to use a drip pan because he was being "Lazy" as he stated twice, along leaving a mess and leaving electronics close to the drain. (Luckily my electronics were not ruined). I called Nature's Helper on Monday, explained the disappointment in the plumbing company and the service I received. Nature's Helper apologized and had the plumbing company call me. The issue was resolved they day they came out installed my system. This is where the service was good again --Tuesday, April 17th, the installers showed up on time and were very professional and efficient. They did a nice job going thru and cleaning up their trash and explaining things. The 3 man team worked like a well oiled machine and were able to complete the job slightly a head of schedule. They explained they were going to drain the system due to the snow that was due. April 23rd, Justin came out can went thru the control panel and started up the system to make sure everything was working properly. There was a few things, as stated above, that caused me not to give them a "A" rating. But I would hire them again."

"They were timely and responsive. Once they arrived, they were very professional. They explained everything they were doing while they were doing it. They were also able to get our sewer line cleared quickly. Their pricing was also very competitive. We would hire them again if needed, and I highly recommend you hire them if you need sewer or drain work done."

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.
