Read moreWhat we see most in Altoona
Hard water is the quiet problem here
Water across much of Polk County carries enough mineral to scale the bottom of a water heater and fur up fixtures within a few years. If your Altoona tank has started rumbling or your hot water runs out sooner than it used to, sediment is usually why. A flush and an anode check often buys years, and a softener stops the cycle.
Tree roots and the front yard
Mature trees are one of the nicer things about older Altoona streets and one of the harder things on sewer lines. Roots do not break into a sound pipe - they find a joint that has already opened slightly and then widen it. Cutting them buys a season; lining the pipe ends it.
Older sewer lines here are clay or cast iron
Plenty of Altoona homes still run their waste out to the street through clay tile with a joint every few feet, and roots find every one of them. Cast iron scales shut from the inside instead. Either way, a main line that backs up twice in a year is telling you something a camera can confirm in twenty minutes.

Reviews from Altoona and nearby
★★★★★
We run a small restaurant and the grease line backed up during service. They jetted it after we closed that night so we opened normally the next morning. That flexibility is worth a lot to us.
Anthony G. · Altoona, IA
★★★★★
They installed a new 50 gallon heater and hauled the old one away same visit. Took about three hours start to finish and the expansion tank was included, which the other quote had left off.
Cora Z. · Des Moines, IA
★★★★★
Toilet was rocking and had been for ages. Broken flange underneath. They repaired it properly rather than just adding another wax ring on top.

Plumbing questions from Altoona customers
How quickly can you get to an emergency in Altoona?
Usually within the hour for Altoona addresses. When you call (833) 435-9778 we give you a real arrival window before you hang up, and we call again if anything changes it.
Do you work on commercial properties in Altoona?
Yes. Restaurants, salons, clinics, offices, churches and multi-tenant buildings across Altoona. We schedule outside trading hours at no extra cost so a repair does not cost you a day of business.
Do you charge extra for nights and weekends in Altoona?
No. A call at 2am on a Sunday costs the same as the same job at 2pm on a Wednesday. No overtime rate, no holiday surcharge, no emergency premium.
Can you tell me what is wrong over the phone?
Often we can narrow it down, and sometimes we can tell you it is something you can fix yourself in five minutes. We would rather do that than send a truck you did not need.
What should I do while I wait for the plumber?
For anything involving running water, shut the main valve off and open the lowest faucet in the house to drain the pressure. For a gas smell, get everyone outside first and call from there. For a backup, stop using every fixture in the house, not just the one that is blocked.
Can you come out the same day in Altoona?
Yes, most Altoona calls are handled the same day, and genuine emergencies - flooding, sewage backups, no water, gas smells - get moved to the front of the queue immediately.
