Plumbing & Drain Services in Fort Madison, Iowa

Hard water, cold winters and a lot of older housing stock give Fort Madison a fairly predictable set of plumbing problems. Water heaters scale up and quit early. Pipes in exterior walls split in January. Clay sewer lines fill with roots every spring. We know the pattern here, which is why the truck that shows up at your Fort Madison address usually has the part on it already.

Whether it is a clogged drain emergency, a water heater leaking into the pan, a sewer backup coming up a floor drain or a slab leak nobody can locate, it is work we do in Fort Madison every week.

What we see most in Fort Madison

Well water changes what you need

Homes outside the Fort Madison municipal supply often deal with iron and sulphur alongside hardness, and a plain softener will not handle all three. We test before recommending anything, because the wrong equipment on well water either fails early or does nothing.

Older sewer lines here are clay or cast iron

Plenty of Fort Madison homes still run their waste out to the street through clay tile with a joint every few feet, and roots find every one of them. Cast iron scales shut from the inside instead. Either way, a main line that backs up twice in a year is telling you something a camera can confirm in twenty minutes.

Tree roots and the front yard

Mature trees are one of the nicer things about older Fort Madison 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.

Calling a plumber in Fort Madison

  1. 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.

  2. Get an arrival window before you hang up

    We tell you when a truck will be there and we call you if that changes. No four-hour windows and no silence.

  3. 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.

  4. 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 Fort Madison and nearby

★★★★★

Sink drained slow, laundry backed up, and it turned out to be the main. Jetted it and cameraed it after so we could see it was actually clear.

Chuck E. · Fort Madison, IA

★★★★★

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.

Cora Z. · Keokuk, IA

★★★★★

Water bill nearly doubled and I could not find anything wrong. They found a slab leak under the hallway with a listening device, cut one small square of flooring, and fixed it. I was braced for a lot worse.

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.
