Plumber in Burlington, Iowa
Hard water, cold winters and a lot of older housing stock give Burlington a fairly predictable set of plumbing problems. Water heaters scale up and quit early. Pipes in exterior walls split in January. Clay sewer lines fill with roots every spring. We know the pattern here, which is why the truck that shows up at your Burlington address usually has the part on it already.
We cover residential and commercial plumbing in Burlington: drain and sewer cleaning, water heater installation, tankless conversions, leak repair, repiping, backflow testing, garbage disposals and 24/7 emergency callouts.

Read moreWhat we see most in Burlington
Tree roots and the front yard
Mature trees are one of the nicer things about older Burlington 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.
Water pressure worth checking
A lot of Burlington homes run higher static pressure than they should, and high pressure quietly shortens the life of every valve, supply line and water heater in the house. It is a cheap thing to measure and an inexpensive thing to correct with a pressure reducing valve.
Spring thaw is when sump pumps get tested
A sump pump in Burlington 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 Burlington homeowners about a battery backup, because an unbacked pump and a storm outage is how basements flood here.

Reviews from Burlington and nearby
★★★★★
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.
Baxter W. · Burlington, IA
★★★★★
Toilet had been running for who knows how long. Quick visit, new flapper and fill valve, and my water bill dropped noticeably the next month. Wish I had called a year earlier.
Ray B. · West Burlington, IA
★★★★★
No hot water on the coldest morning of the year. Thermocouple. Out and fixed within two hours of my call, and he showed me where the reset is for next time.

Plumbing questions from Burlington customers
Do you have a plumber available in Burlington right now?
Almost always. Our Burlington line is answered around the clock, including nights, weekends and holidays. Call (833) 435-9778 and we will tell you honestly how soon a truck can be at your address rather than giving you a vague window.
Can you come out the same day in Burlington?
Yes, most Burlington 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.
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 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.
Do you charge extra for nights and weekends in Burlington?
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.
Do you work on commercial properties in Burlington?
Yes. Restaurants, salons, clinics, offices, churches and multi-tenant buildings across Burlington. We schedule outside trading hours at no extra cost so a repair does not cost you a day of business.
