Emergency Plumber in Dubuque, Iowa

When water is moving somewhere it should not be, the clock matters more than anything else. Our Dubuque 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 Dubuque and the rest of Dubuque 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.

Spring thaw is when sump pumps get tested

A sump pump in Dubuque 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 Dubuque homeowners about a battery backup, because an unbacked pump and a storm outage is how basements flood here.

Dubuque customers on our emergency plumbing work

★★★★★

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.

Trent L. · Dubuque, IA

★★★★★

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.

Ray B. · Asbury, IA

★★★★★

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.

Emergency Plumber in Dubuque: common questions

How fast can a plumber get to me in Dubuque?

Most emergency calls in Dubuque 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 Dubuque?

No. The price we quote for a job in Dubuque 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 Dubuque 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 serve the smaller towns around Dubuque?

We do. Our Dubuque coverage extends through the surrounding communities, and we run across the whole state, so being outside the city limits does not mean waiting longer or paying a travel premium.
