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.

Emergency Plumber in Ames, Iowa
A plumbing emergency in Ames rarely waits for business hours. Pipes split at 3am in January, water heaters let go on Thanksgiving, and floor drains back up the moment the house is full of guests. We keep trucks stocked and staffed around the clock so that a call from Ames gets a real answer and a real arrival window, not a callback on Monday.
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.
- 24/7 in Ames

Tree roots and the front yard
Mature trees are one of the nicer things about older Ames 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.

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.

Reliable is the main thing. Third time we have used them across two houses and it has been the same experience every time.

Emergency Plumber in Ames: common questions
How fast can a plumber get to me in Ames?
Most emergency calls in Ames get a truck moving within the hour. When you call (833) 435-9778 we give you a real arrival window before you hang up, and we call again if traffic or weather changes it.
Do you charge extra at night or on weekends in Ames?
No. The price we quote for a job in Ames is the same at 2am on a Sunday as it is at 2pm on a Wednesday. There is no overtime multiplier and no holiday surcharge.
What should I do before the plumber arrives?
Shut the main water valve off if you can reach it safely, then open the lowest faucet in the house to drain pressure out of the lines. If you smell gas, leave the building first and call from outside.
Do you handle emergency calls for businesses too?
Yes. Restaurants, salons, clinics and shops in Ames get the same 24/7 line. Tell us when you open and we will work around it so you are not closed the next morning.
Do you work on commercial properties in Ames?
Yes. Restaurants, salons, clinics, offices, churches and multi-tenant buildings across Ames. We schedule outside trading hours at no extra cost so a repair does not cost you a day of business.
