Had them out for a leak under the sink and asked about our pressure while they were here. Turned out it was way high. New regulator, and the constant small drips around the house stopped.

Emergency Plumber in Des Moines, Iowa
When water is moving somewhere it should not be, the clock matters more than anything else. Our Des Moines emergency line is answered by a person, not a machine, and the plumber who takes the call is the one who tells you how long until a truck is in your driveway. We work nights, weekends and holidays across Des Moines and the rest of Polk County at the same rate we charge on a Tuesday afternoon.
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.

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

They installed a new 50 gallon heater and hauled the old one away same visit. Took about three hours start to finish and the expansion tank was included, which the other quote had left off.

Snapped shutoff valve under the sink flooded the cabinet. Same-day visit, replaced both angle stops while he was in there. Sensible.

Emergency Plumber in Des Moines: common questions
How fast can a plumber get to me in Des Moines?
Most emergency calls in Des Moines 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 Des Moines?
No. The price we quote for a job in Des Moines 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 Des Moines 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.
Can you come out the same day in Des Moines?
Yes, most Des Moines 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.
