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.

Faucet & Fixture Repair in Mount Vernon, Iowa
Shower valves are where we spend most of our fixture time in Mount Vernon. 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.

Spring thaw is when sump pumps get tested
A sump pump in Mount Vernon 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 Mount Vernon homeowners about a battery backup, because an unbacked pump and a storm outage is how basements flood here.

Our water heater quit on a Saturday with a house full of family. They came out the same afternoon, found a failed element rather than telling us we needed a new tank, and we had hot water back by dinner.

Faucet Repair in Mount Vernon: 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 Mount Vernon 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 Mount Vernon 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.
What should I do while I wait for the plumber?
For anything involving running water, shut the main valve off and open the lowest faucet in the house to drain the pressure. For a gas smell, get everyone outside first and call from there. For a backup, stop using every fixture in the house, not just the one that is blocked.
