Read moreWhat we see most in Ames
Tree roots and the front yard
Mature trees are one of the nicer things about older Ames 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.
Hard water is the quiet problem here
Water across much of Story County carries enough mineral to scale the bottom of a water heater and fur up fixtures within a few years. If your Ames 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.
Spring thaw is when sump pumps get tested
A sump pump in Ames sits idle for months and then has one important night. That is usually also the night the power flickers. We check the float, the check valve and the discharge line, and we talk to most Ames homeowners about a battery backup, because an unbacked pump and a storm outage is how basements flood here.

Reviews from Ames and nearby
★★★★★
Had them out for a leak under the sink and asked about our pressure while they were here. Turned out it was way high. New regulator, and the constant small drips around the house stopped.
Bram H. · Ames, IA
★★★★★
Faucet drip in the kitchen that two other people had failed to fix. Correct cartridge, ten minutes, done. Sometimes it just takes someone who carries the right parts.
Yara D. · Nevada, IA
★★★★★
Called at 6am about no water in the house. Frozen line at the meter. He talked me through what to do while he drove over. Sorted by 8.
