Basement floor drain smelled for weeks. Turned out to be a dried trap, not anything serious. He explained it, filled it, and charged for the callout only.

Repiping & Water Line Repair in Ames, Iowa
There is a point where fixing one more pinhole in a galvanised system stops being economical. In older Ames homes we see it as brown water in the morning, pressure that has been dropping for years, and a third leak in eighteen months. A repipe ends that cycle rather than extending it.
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.

Tree roots and the front yard
Mature trees are one of the nicer things about older Ames streets and one of the harder things on sewer lines. Roots do not break into a sound pipe - they find a joint that has already opened slightly and then widen it. Cutting them buys a season; lining the pipe ends it.

Great communication. Text when they were on the way, a photo of what failed, and the invoice matched the quote exactly. That should be normal and somehow it isn't.

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.

Repiping in Ames: common questions
How long does a whole house repipe take?
A typical Ames home runs two to five days depending on size, number of bathrooms and how accessible the runs are. You keep water each night - we do not leave a house dry.
PEX or copper - which should I choose?
PEX is faster to install, costs less, handles freezing better and needs fewer joints. Copper lasts a very long time and some owners prefer it. Both are solid; we quote both for your Ames home and explain where each one wins.
Will you patch the drywall afterwards?
We make the access openings and can arrange patch and paint, or leave them clean and square for your own contractor. Either way it is agreed in writing before we start.
Is my low water pressure a repipe problem?
Not always. It can be a pressure regulator, a partially closed valve, a clogged aerator or a leak. We diagnose the cause before recommending anything as large as a repipe.
Do you serve the smaller towns around Ames?
We do. Our Ames 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.
