Old galvanised pipes giving us brown water every morning. They repiped in PEX and explained the trade-offs against copper honestly instead of just pushing one.

Garbage Disposal Repair & Installation in Johnston, Iowa
Half the Johnston disposal calls we take turn out to be a drain problem rather than a disposal problem - the unit is working fine and the line beneath it is packed. We check the line before selling anyone a new unit, which saves a fair number of Johnston households the cost of one.
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.

Older sewer lines here are clay or cast iron
Plenty of Johnston homes still run their waste out to the street through clay tile with a joint every few feet, and roots find every one of them. Cast iron scales shut from the inside instead. Either way, a main line that backs up twice in a year is telling you something a camera can confirm in twenty minutes.

Water bill nearly doubled and I could not find anything wrong. They found a slab leak under the hallway with a listening device, cut one small square of flooring, and fixed it. I was braced for a lot worse.

Called about a gas smell near the water heater. They told me to get out of the house first and call the utility, then came and found it. Took it seriously, which I appreciated.

Garbage Disposal Repair in Johnston: common questions
My disposal just hums - is it broken?
Usually not. Something is jammed against the impellers. Cut the power at the switch and the breaker, then use the hex key in the bottom of the unit to turn it by hand. If it frees up, hit the red reset button. If not, call (833) 435-9778.
How long does a garbage disposal last?
Eight to twelve years with normal use. Once the housing leaks it is done. If it is under eight years and simply jammed or tripped, repair is nearly always the better call.
Can you install a disposal where there is not one?
Yes, provided there is a switched outlet under the sink or we can arrange one. We handle the drain reconfiguration and the dishwasher connection as part of the install.
What should never go in a disposal?
Grease, coffee grounds, eggshells, fibrous vegetable skins and pasta or rice. Those are what we find in most of the Johnston kitchen lines we end up cabling.
Do you charge extra for nights and weekends in Johnston?
No. A call at 2am on a Sunday costs the same as the same job at 2pm on a Wednesday. No overtime rate, no holiday surcharge, no emergency premium.
