Main water line between the meter and the house had a leak. They located it, replaced the run, and got the yard back to reasonable. No complaints at all.

Burst Pipe Repair in West Des Moines, 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 West Des Moines 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.

Spring thaw is when sump pumps get tested
A sump pump in West Des Moines 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 West Des Moines homeowners about a battery backup, because an unbacked pump and a storm outage is how basements flood here.

Bought an older house and had them scope the sewer before closing. Found roots in two joints. We used the video to negotiate the repair into the sale. Best money I spent on that purchase.

New disposal and a dishwasher connection that the last installer had done wrong. Fixed both, and pointed out the wrong one rather than quietly leaving it.

Burst Pipe Repair in West Des Moines: 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 West Des Moines?
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 West Des Moines 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 West Des Moines 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.
How much does a plumber cost in West Des Moines?
We quote flat, per job, before any work starts. You hear the number on the phone or at your door, you agree to it, and it does not change because the job took longer than expected. There is no hourly clock running while we diagnose.
