Faucet drip in the kitchen that two other people had failed to fix. Correct cartridge, ten minutes, done. Sometimes it just takes someone who carries the right parts.

Frozen Pipe Thawing & Repair in Ankeny, Iowa
If a faucet in your Ankeny home has gone dry in a cold snap, leave it open and call before you try to force it. We thaw pipes with controlled heat, never an open flame, and once water is moving again we look at why that particular run froze - almost always an uninsulated line in an exterior wall, a crawl space or an unheated garage.
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.

Water pressure worth checking
A lot of Ankeny homes run higher static pressure than they should, and high pressure quietly shortens the life of every valve, supply line and water heater in the house. It is a cheap thing to measure and an inexpensive thing to correct with a pressure reducing valve.

They came out to a rental I own after hours because the tenant had no water. Kept me updated by phone the whole time even though I was three hours away.

Sewer camera before we finished the basement. Clean line, no work needed, and they said so. Plenty of places would have found something.

Frozen Pipe Repair in Ankeny: common questions
Can I thaw a frozen pipe myself?
A hair dryer or a heat gun on a low setting, working from the tap back toward the freeze with the faucet open, is reasonable on an accessible pipe. Never a torch. If the pipe is inside a wall or you cannot reach it, call (833) 435-9778.
How do I know if a frozen pipe has burst?
Often you do not until it thaws. If a tap ran dry and then came back with reduced pressure, or you hear water running with everything off, shut the main off and call us. That is the classic pattern in Ankeny.
How do I stop pipes freezing next winter?
Insulate exposed runs, seal the air leaks that let cold reach them, keep the heat on in the garage, and let a tap trickle on the coldest nights. We will point out the specific runs at risk in your Ankeny home.
Do you charge more for winter emergency calls?
No. Frozen pipe calls in Ankeny are priced the same as any other job, day or night, throughout the season.
How quickly can you get to an emergency in Ankeny?
Usually within the hour for Ankeny addresses. When you call (833) 435-9778 we give you a real arrival window before you hang up, and we call again if anything changes it.
