Shower had been running cold randomly for months. Turned out to be the balancing cartridge, not the whole valve like another company told us. Fixed in under an hour.

Burst Pipe Repair in Mount Vernon, Iowa
Iowa winters split pipes. When the temperature drops and a line in an exterior wall or an unheated crawl space freezes, the ice does not break the pipe where it forms - it breaks it downstream when the pressure has nowhere to go. That is why a Mount Vernon burst often shows up in a spot that never froze at all.
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.

Older sewer lines here are clay or cast iron
Plenty of Mount Vernon 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.

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.

Called on Christmas Eve about a frozen pipe. Fully expected a holiday surcharge and there wasn't one. Same price as any other day, which I did not expect and have not forgotten.

Burst Pipe Repair in Mount Vernon: 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 Mount Vernon?
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 Mount Vernon 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 Mount Vernon 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.
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.
