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.

Faucet & Fixture Repair in Independence, Iowa
Shower valves are where we spend most of our fixture time in Independence. When the temperature swings while somebody is in there, the balancing spool has usually failed, and that is a repair rather than a tear-out. Where the valve body itself is finished, we will tell you what is involved before opening the wall.
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.

Winter splits pipes in the same places every year
The runs that fail in Independence 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.

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.

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.

Faucet Repair in Independence: common questions
Is a dripping faucet worth fixing?
Yes - a steady drip runs into real water over a year, and the same wear that causes the drip is chewing the valve seat while it continues. It is one of the cheapest repairs in a Independence home.
Can you repair my shower instead of replacing the valve?
Usually. Most shower problems are a worn cartridge or balancing spool inside a perfectly good valve body. We try the repair first and only discuss replacement when the body itself has failed.
Can I supply my own faucet?
Absolutely. Plenty of Independence customers buy the fixture they want and have us fit it. We will tell you honestly if a particular unit is going to give trouble before it goes in.
Why does only one tap have low pressure?
Nearly always a clogged aerator or a partially closed shutoff at that fixture. Both are quick. If every fixture is low, the cause is elsewhere in the system and we look at that instead.
Do you charge extra for nights and weekends in Independence?
No. A call at 2am on a Sunday costs the same as the same job at 2pm on a Wednesday. No overtime rate, no holiday surcharge, no emergency premium.
