Find answers to common questions about our industrial pump services, pricing, and how we can help keep your operations running smoothly.

General Services

We service virtually all industrial pump types including centrifugal pumps, submersible pumps, positive displacement pumps, diaphragm pumps, gear pumps, and rotary lobe pumps. Our technicians have experience across all major manufacturers and can handle everything from small circulation pumps to large-scale industrial systems.
We serve a diverse range of industries including manufacturing facilities, agricultural operations, municipal water and wastewater treatment, food and beverage processing, oil and gas operations, mining, and commercial HVAC systems. If your facility uses industrial pumps, we can help.
Our primary focus is industrial and commercial pump systems. For residential needs such as home well pumps or sump pumps, we recommend working with a residential-focused contractor who can provide more specialized service for those applications.

We answer emergency calls 24 hours a day. Once we assess your situation and confirm the need for an on-site visit, we immediately dispatch the nearest available technician. In most cases, you can expect a technician to arrive within the timeframes mentioned above. Our service vehicles are fully stocked with common parts to complete many repairs on the first visit.

Pricing & Estimates

Emergency service calls include on-site assessment with upfront pricing before any work begins.

Common repairs such as seal or bearing replacements typically range from $400-$800. Major repairs involving motor replacement or extensive disassembly can range from $1,500-$3,500 or more.

Yes, we frequently accommodate service calls outside our primary coverage area. Please contact us directly to discuss your specific location. We can often arrange single-service visits or establish regular service routes for facilities in underserved industrial areas.

Scheduling & Process

You can schedule non-emergency service by calling us at (308) 235-3883 during business hours or by using the contact form on our website. For emergency service, our phone line is answered 24/7 and we can dispatch immediately. We work to accommodate your production schedule and can often arrange service during off-hours to minimize operational disruption.
Helpful information includes: pump manufacturer and model number (if available), a description of the symptoms you're experiencing, when the problem started, any recent changes in operation, and the application (what the pump is moving, temperature, etc.). However, don't worry if you don't have all this information—we can often gather what's needed during our initial assessment.
It depends on the situation. Many repairs can be completed on-site using our fully equipped service vehicles. For complex rebuilds requiring specialized equipment or clean-room conditions for seal installation, we may recommend transporting the pump to our shop. We always provide clear communication about the best approach for your specific situation.
