Spring thaw is when sump pumps get tested

A sump pump in Altoona sits idle for months and then has one important night. That is usually also the night the power flickers. We check the float, the check valve and the discharge line, and we talk to most Altoona homeowners about a battery backup, because an unbacked pump and a storm outage is how basements flood here.

★★★★★

New disposal and a dishwasher connection that the last installer had done wrong. Fixed both, and pointed out the wrong one rather than quietly leaving it.

★★★★★

Sewer camera before we finished the basement. Clean line, no work needed, and they said so. Plenty of places would have found something.

Rosalind K. · Des Moines, IA

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.

Gas Line Repair in Altoona: common questions

I smell gas - what should I do first?

Get everyone out of the building. Do not switch anything on or off, including lights. From outside, call your gas utility's emergency line and then call (833) 435-9778. Do not go back in until it is cleared.

Can you run a gas line for a new range or dryer?

Yes, that is routine work in Altoona. We check whether your existing system has the capacity for the added load first, because adding an appliance to an already-marginal line causes problems elsewhere in the house.

Do you pressure test after gas work?

Every time, without exception, and you get the result in writing. It is how we confirm the system is tight and it is what an inspector will ask for.

How much does gas line installation cost in Altoona?

It comes down to run length, whether it is inside or buried, and whether the existing system needs upsizing. We measure the job at your Altoona property and give you a flat number before starting.

How much does a plumber cost in Altoona?

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.
