Plumbing services in Lost Nation, Iowa
Everything below is available in Lost Nation, day or night, at the same flat pricing we use everywhere else in the state.
Drain Cleaning
Slow sinks, gurgling tubs and clogged main lines cleared with a cable or a jetter, then camera-checked so it stays clear.
Read moreWater Heater Repair
No hot water, not enough of it, or a puddle under the tank. Diagnosed and repaired the same day where the tank is worth saving.
Read moreWater Heater Replacement
Old tank out, new tank in, usually inside a morning. Correct venting, new flex lines, expansion tank and a permit where the city wants one.
Read moreTankless Water Heater Installation
Endless hot water and a wall back in your basement, done with the gas line and venting sized properly rather than hoped at.
Read moreBurst Pipe Repair
Water shut off, the split section cut out and replaced, and the line pressure-tested before we leave. Any hour, any day.
Read moreWater Leak Repair
Acoustic and thermal leak detection that finds the pipe before we open the wall, then a proper repair rather than a patch.
Read moreSewer Line Repair
Root intrusion, collapsed clay and bellied lines repaired by trenchless lining where the pipe allows and open cut where it does not.
Read moreHydro Jetting
High-pressure water that scours grease, scale and roots back to bare pipe wall instead of drilling a hole through them.
Read moreSewer Camera Inspection
A recorded look down the line before you buy a house, or before anyone quotes you for digging up the yard.
Read moreToilet Repair
Running, rocking, leaking or overflowing. Rebuilt in an hour or replaced with a new pan set on a fresh flange and wax.
Read moreSump Pump Repair
The one pump in the house that only matters on the worst night of the year. Tested, repaired, replaced and backed up.
Read moreGas Line Repair
Gas smell, a leak on the meter side, or a new run for a range, dryer, grill or garage heater. Pressure-tested every time.
Read moreRepiping
Whole-house repipes and main water line replacement when patching galvanised or polybutylene has stopped making sense.
Read moreWater Softener Installation
Iowa water is hard. A properly sized softener protects the water heater, the fixtures and everything you wash.

Read moreFrozen Pipe Repair
Thawed safely, checked for splits as it comes back, and the run insulated or rerouted so next winter is quieter.

Annual testing, repair and documentation for irrigation systems, commercial buildings and fire lines.
Read moreWhat we see most in Lost Nation
Spring thaw is when sump pumps get tested
A sump pump in Lost Nation 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 Lost Nation homeowners about a battery backup, because an unbacked pump and a storm outage is how basements flood here.
Grease is the leading cause of kitchen line calls
Most of the kitchen drains we cable in Lost Nation are lined with cooled grease rather than blocked by any single object. It goes down warm and sets on the pipe wall a few feet along. Once that layer is thick enough, one bowl of rice finishes the job.
Winter splits pipes in the same places every year
The runs that fail in Lost Nation 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 Lost Nation and nearby
★★★★★
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.
Ray B. · Lost Nation, IA
★★★★★
Main water line between the meter and the house had a leak. They located it, replaced the run, and got the yard back to reasonable. No complaints at all.
Felix U. · Lost Nation, IA
★★★★★
Sink drained slow, laundry backed up, and it turned out to be the main. Jetted it and cameraed it after so we could see it was actually clear.

Plumbing questions from Lost Nation customers
Can you come out the same day in Lost Nation?
Yes, most Lost Nation 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.
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.
Can you tell me what is wrong over the phone?
Often we can narrow it down, and sometimes we can tell you it is something you can fix yourself in five minutes. We would rather do that than send a truck you did not need.
Do you charge extra for nights and weekends in Lost Nation?
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.
Do you work on commercial properties in Lost Nation?
Yes. Restaurants, salons, clinics, offices, churches and multi-tenant buildings across Lost Nation. We schedule outside trading hours at no extra cost so a repair does not cost you a day of business.
How quickly can you get to an emergency in Lost Nation?
Usually within the hour for Lost Nation addresses. When you call (833) 435-9778 we give you a real arrival window before you hang up, and we call again if anything changes it.
