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

Repiping & Water Line Repair in Johnston, Iowa
There is a point where fixing one more pinhole in a galvanised system stops being economical. In older Johnston 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.

Older sewer lines here are clay or cast iron
Plenty of Johnston homes still run their waste out to the street through clay tile with a joint every few feet, and roots find every one of them. Cast iron scales shut from the inside instead. Either way, a main line that backs up twice in a year is telling you something a camera can confirm in twenty minutes.

Our water heater quit on a Saturday with a house full of family. They came out the same afternoon, found a failed element rather than telling us we needed a new tank, and we had hot water back by dinner.

Garbage disposal was humming and I assumed it was dead. He freed the jam, hit the reset, and did not charge me for a new unit I did not need. Honest is the word.

Repiping in Johnston: common questions
How long does a whole house repipe take?
A typical Johnston 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 Johnston 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 have a plumber available in Johnston right now?
Almost always. Our Johnston line is answered around the clock, including nights, weekends and holidays. Call (833) 435-9778 and we will tell you honestly how soon a truck can be at your address rather than giving you a vague window.
