Plumbing services in Fairfax, Iowa
Everything below is available in Fairfax, day or night, at the same flat pricing we use everywhere else in the state.
Drain Cleaning
Slow sinks, gurgling tubs and clogged main lines cleared with a cable or a jetter, then camera-checked so it stays clear.
Read moreWater Heater Repair
No hot water, not enough of it, or a puddle under the tank. Diagnosed and repaired the same day where the tank is worth saving.
Read moreWater Heater Replacement
Old tank out, new tank in, usually inside a morning. Correct venting, new flex lines, expansion tank and a permit where the city wants one.
Read moreTankless Water Heater Installation
Endless hot water and a wall back in your basement, done with the gas line and venting sized properly rather than hoped at.
Read moreBurst Pipe Repair
Water shut off, the split section cut out and replaced, and the line pressure-tested before we leave. Any hour, any day.
Read moreWater Leak Repair
Acoustic and thermal leak detection that finds the pipe before we open the wall, then a proper repair rather than a patch.
Read moreSewer Line Repair
Root intrusion, collapsed clay and bellied lines repaired by trenchless lining where the pipe allows and open cut where it does not.
Read moreHydro Jetting
High-pressure water that scours grease, scale and roots back to bare pipe wall instead of drilling a hole through them.
Read moreSewer Camera Inspection
A recorded look down the line before you buy a house, or before anyone quotes you for digging up the yard.
Read moreToilet Repair
Running, rocking, leaking or overflowing. Rebuilt in an hour or replaced with a new pan set on a fresh flange and wax.
Read moreSump Pump Repair
The one pump in the house that only matters on the worst night of the year. Tested, repaired, replaced and backed up.
Read moreGas Line Repair
Gas smell, a leak on the meter side, or a new run for a range, dryer, grill or garage heater. Pressure-tested every time.
Read moreRepiping
Whole-house repipes and main water line replacement when patching galvanised or polybutylene has stopped making sense.
Read moreWater Softener Installation
Iowa water is hard. A properly sized softener protects the water heater, the fixtures and everything you wash.
Read moreCommercial Plumbing
Restaurants, salons, clinics, offices and shops. Scheduled around your hours so a plumbing problem never closes your doors.
Read moreFrozen Pipe Repair
Thawed safely, checked for splits as it comes back, and the run insulated or rerouted so next winter is quieter.
Read moreGarbage Disposal Repair
Humming, jammed, leaking or dead. Freed and repaired where it is worth it, swapped where the motor has gone.
Read moreFaucet Repair
Dripping faucets, failing shower valves, dead shutoffs and new fixture installs done without wrecking the finish.
Read moreBackflow Testing
Annual testing, repair and documentation for irrigation systems, commercial buildings and fire lines.
Read moreWhat we see most in Fairfax
Winter splits pipes in the same places every year
The runs that fail in Fairfax are predictable: supply lines in exterior walls, anything crossing an unheated crawl space, and hose bibs left connected in November. Ice rarely bursts the pipe where it forms - it bursts it downstream where the pressure has nowhere to go, which is why the damage often shows up somewhere that never froze.
Grease is the leading cause of kitchen line calls
Most of the kitchen drains we cable in Fairfax are lined with cooled grease rather than blocked by any single object. It goes down warm and sets on the pipe wall a few feet along. Once that layer is thick enough, one bowl of rice finishes the job.
Spring thaw is when sump pumps get tested
A sump pump in Fairfax 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 Fairfax homeowners about a battery backup, because an unbacked pump and a storm outage is how basements flood here.

Calling a plumber in Fairfax
Call and talk to a plumber
You get a person, not a queue. Describe what is happening and we will tell you whether it needs someone now or can wait until morning.

We tell you when a truck will be there and we call you if that changes. No four-hour windows and no silence.
Agree the price before work starts
The job is quoted flat once we have seen it. You agree to that number first, and it does not move if the work runs long.
Fixed, tested and cleaned up
We test what we repaired under real conditions, tidy the area, and tell you plainly what failed and what to keep an eye on.
Reviews from Fairfax and nearby
★★★★★
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.
Simone V. · Fairfax, IA
★★★★★
Snapped shutoff valve under the sink flooded the cabinet. Same-day visit, replaced both angle stops while he was in there. Sensible.
Milo F. · Fairfax, IA
★★★★★
No hot water on the coldest morning of the year. Thermocouple. Out and fixed within two hours of my call, and he showed me where the reset is for next time.
