Read moreWhat we see most in Harlan
Well water changes what you need
Homes outside the Harlan municipal supply often deal with iron and sulphur alongside hardness, and a plain softener will not handle all three. We test before recommending anything, because the wrong equipment on well water either fails early or does nothing.
Water pressure worth checking
A lot of Harlan homes run higher static pressure than they should, and high pressure quietly shortens the life of every valve, supply line and water heater in the house. It is a cheap thing to measure and an inexpensive thing to correct with a pressure reducing valve.
Winter splits pipes in the same places every year
The runs that fail in Harlan are predictable: supply lines in exterior walls, anything crossing an unheated crawl space, and hose bibs left connected in November. Ice rarely bursts the pipe where it forms - it bursts it downstream where the pressure has nowhere to go, which is why the damage often shows up somewhere that never froze.

Reviews from Harlan and nearby
★★★★★
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. · Harlan, IA
★★★★★
Faucet drip in the kitchen that two other people had failed to fix. Correct cartridge, ten minutes, done. Sometimes it just takes someone who carries the right parts.
Yara D. · Kirkman, 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.

Plumbing questions from Harlan customers
Do you serve the smaller towns around Harlan?
We do. Our Harlan coverage extends through the surrounding communities, and we run across the whole state, so being outside the city limits does not mean waiting longer or paying a travel premium.
What should I do while I wait for the plumber?
For anything involving running water, shut the main valve off and open the lowest faucet in the house to drain the pressure. For a gas smell, get everyone outside first and call from there. For a backup, stop using every fixture in the house, not just the one that is blocked.
Do you work on commercial properties in Harlan?
Yes. Restaurants, salons, clinics, offices, churches and multi-tenant buildings across Harlan. We schedule outside trading hours at no extra cost so a repair does not cost you a day of business.
What plumbing services do you offer in Harlan?
Drain and sewer cleaning, hydro jetting, sewer camera inspections, water heater repair and replacement, tankless installation, leak detection, burst and frozen pipe repair, repiping, toilets and faucets, garbage disposals, sump pumps, gas lines, water softeners, backflow testing and commercial plumbing.
Can you come out the same day in Harlan?
Yes, most Harlan 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.

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.
