Water bill nearly doubled and I could not find anything wrong. They found a slab leak under the hallway with a listening device, cut one small square of flooring, and fixed it. I was braced for a lot worse.

Older sewer lines here are clay or cast iron
Plenty of Cedar Falls 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.

Basement floor drain smelled for weeks. Turned out to be a dried trap, not anything serious. He explained it, filled it, and charged for the callout only.

They replaced our old tank with a tankless unit and actually upsized the gas line to do it properly. The previous quote we had did not mention the gas line at all, which I now understand would have been a problem.

Backflow Testing in Cedar Falls: common questions
How often does a backflow device need testing?
Annually in most Cedar Falls jurisdictions, and some commercial and fire applications more often. We keep your date on file and remind you before it lapses.
What happens if my device fails the test?
We rebuild it and retest. We carry kits for the assemblies we see most in Cedar Falls, so failures are usually resolved on the same visit rather than turning into a second appointment.
Do you file the paperwork with the water authority?
Yes. The completed report goes to the authority and a copy goes to you, so there is nothing left on your desk to chase.
Should I have my irrigation backflow tested before winter?
Test on your normal annual schedule, but do winterise the device before the first hard Iowa freeze. A cracked assembly from freezing is a far bigger bill than a test.
Do you charge extra for nights and weekends in Cedar Falls?
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.
