Straightforward people. Told me the repair on my eleven year old heater would work but probably only buy me a year, gave me both prices, and let me decide. No pressure either way.

Burst Pipe Repair in Iowa City, Iowa
The first job on a burst pipe in Iowa City is stopping the water, and we will walk you through finding your main shutoff on the phone before we have even left the shop. Then we cut out the failed section, replace it in the correct material, pressure-test the line, and look at why that particular run froze so it does not happen again next January.
Call (833) 435-9778 and describe what is happening. We will give you an arrival window before you hang up and a flat price before anyone starts work - the same price at 2am as at 2pm.

Grease is the leading cause of kitchen line calls
Most of the kitchen drains we cable in Iowa City are lined with cooled grease rather than blocked by any single object. It goes down warm and sets on the pipe wall a few feet along. Once that layer is thick enough, one bowl of rice finishes the job.

Our old cast iron stack was scaled almost shut. They jetted it and the difference was obvious immediately. Showed me before and after footage.

Called about a gas smell near the water heater. They told me to get out of the house first and call the utility, then came and found it. Took it seriously, which I appreciated.

Burst Pipe Repair in Iowa City: common questions
What do I do right now if a pipe has burst?
Shut the main water valve off - usually where the line enters the basement or at the meter - then open the lowest faucet in the house to drain the pressure. Kill power to any circuit near the water. Then call (833) 435-9778.
How much does burst pipe repair cost in Iowa City?
It depends on where the pipe is and what has to come out to reach it. An accessible basement run is straightforward; a pipe inside a finished wall costs more because of the access. You get the number for your Iowa City home before we start.
Will you come out at night for a burst pipe?
Yes, and at the same price as daytime. Burst pipes in Iowa City are exactly what our 24/7 line exists for - waiting until morning turns a plumbing repair into a restoration job.
Can you stop this from happening again?
Often, yes. We look at the run that failed and tell you whether it needs insulating, rerouting, or heat tape, and whether your house pressure is too high. Most repeat freezes are fixable.
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.
