Sewage came up through the basement floor drain on a Sunday. They were out in about forty minutes and stayed until it was actually clear rather than just moving.

Frozen Pipe Thawing & Repair in Solon, 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.

Tree roots and the front yard
Mature trees are one of the nicer things about older Solon 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.

Toilet was rocking and had been for ages. Broken flange underneath. They repaired it properly rather than just adding another wax ring on top.

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 Solon: 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 Solon.
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 Solon home.
Do you charge more for winter emergency calls?
No. Frozen pipe calls in Solon are priced the same as any other job, day or night, throughout the season.
How much does a plumber cost in Solon?
We quote flat, per job, before any work starts. You hear the number on the phone or at your door, you agree to it, and it does not change because the job took longer than expected. There is no hourly clock running while we diagnose.
