Sump pump and well pump service in Lino Lakes, MN 55014

Rice Creek winds through Lino Lakes and links a string of lakes, and the land around it holds water well into spring. Many homes built near those wetlands have deep sump pits that stay busy for weeks after the snow goes. In a heavy rain, the gap between a pump that keeps up and one that doesn't is a matter of minutes.

On a sump visit we lift the pump, inspect the float switch and the check valve, and time how fast the pit refills. We size replacements to that inflow rather than guessing. For homes with finished basements, a battery backup or a second pump in the same pit is cheap compared with new carpet and drywall.

City water reaches most of the newer neighborhoods, but older properties on the north and east sides of Lino Lakes often still run on private wells. Those systems rely on a pump, a pressure tank and a pressure switch working together. When the tank loses its air cushion, the pump short cycles and you'll hear it kick on with every glass of water.

We test the precharge, replace pressure switches and tanks, and service or replace submersible pumps when they wear out. If your well water has a smell, staining or a gritty feel, we can talk about filtration and softening once you have a water test in hand. It helps to fix the pump and the water quality together.

Many Lino Lakes houses are two-story or split-entry homes from the 1990s and early 2000s. By now their original water heaters are long gone or nearly so, and the plastic supply lines, shutoff valves and toilet fill valves from that era are starting to fail. A slow drip under a sink can soak a cabinet base for weeks before anyone notices.

We replace aging heaters with tank or tankless units, swap tired shutoff valves and track down hidden leaks before they spread. Upstairs laundry rooms are another weak spot, since a burst washer hose on the second floor can flood two levels. Braided hoses and a leak pan with a drain are simple upgrades we install often.
