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 Newton, Iowa
If a faucet in your Newton 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.

Grease is the leading cause of kitchen line calls
Most of the kitchen drains we cable in Newton are lined with cooled grease rather than blocked by any single object. It goes down warm and sets on the pipe wall a few feet along. Once that layer is thick enough, one bowl of rice finishes the job.

They replaced our old tank with a tankless unit and actually upsized the gas line to do it properly. The previous quote we had did not mention the gas line at all, which I now understand would have been a problem.

Frozen pipe in the crawl space. They thawed it carefully, watched it come back under pressure to check for splits, then insulated the run. Has not happened again.

Frozen Pipe Repair in Newton: 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 Newton.
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 Newton home.
Do you charge more for winter emergency calls?
No. Frozen pipe calls in Newton are priced the same as any other job, day or night, throughout the season.
Do you have a plumber available in Newton right now?
Almost always. Our Newton line is answered around the clock, including nights, weekends and holidays. Call (833) 435-9778 and we will tell you honestly how soon a truck can be at your address rather than giving you a vague window.
