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 Thawing & Repair in Cedar Rapids, Iowa
Iowa gives us a solid stretch of the year where a pipe in the wrong place will freeze. The dangerous moment is not the freeze itself - it is the thaw, when a split that the ice was plugging suddenly starts pushing water into a wall. That is why we check the line under pressure as it comes back rather than declaring victory when the tap runs.
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 Cedar Rapids 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 Cedar Rapids 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.

Garbage disposal was humming and I assumed it was dead. He freed the jam, hit the reset, and did not charge me for a new unit I did not need. Honest is the word.

Frozen Pipe Repair in Cedar Rapids: 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 Cedar Rapids.
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 Cedar Rapids home.
Do you charge more for winter emergency calls?
No. Frozen pipe calls in Cedar Rapids are priced the same as any other job, day or night, throughout the season.
How quickly can you get to an emergency in Cedar Rapids?
Usually within the hour for Cedar Rapids 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.
