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.

Garbage Disposal Repair & Installation in Ottumwa, Iowa
Half the Ottumwa 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 Ottumwa 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.

Hard water is the quiet problem here
Water across much of Wapello County carries enough mineral to scale the bottom of a water heater and fur up fixtures within a few years. If your Ottumwa tank has started rumbling or your hot water runs out sooner than it used to, sediment is usually why. A flush and an anode check often buys years, and a softener stops the cycle.

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

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.

Garbage Disposal Repair in Ottumwa: 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 Ottumwa kitchen lines we end up cabling.
Can you come out the same day in Ottumwa?
Yes, most Ottumwa calls are handled the same day, and genuine emergencies - flooding, sewage backups, no water, gas smells - get moved to the front of the queue immediately.
