Hot water ran out after one shower. Sediment had taken half the tank. Flush and a new anode rod and it has been fine for two years.

Frozen Pipe Thawing & Repair in Keokuk, Iowa
If a faucet in your Keokuk 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 Keokuk 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.

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.

Frozen Pipe Repair in Keokuk: 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 Keokuk.
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 Keokuk home.
Do you charge more for winter emergency calls?
No. Frozen pipe calls in Keokuk are priced the same as any other job, day or night, throughout the season.
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.
