Repiping & Water Line Repair in Urbandale, Iowa

A repipe sounds drastic and mostly is not. We plan the access points before cutting anything, run new PEX or copper along routes that need the fewest openings, and stage the work so your Urbandale house has water at the end of each day. Drywall patching is part of the conversation up front, not a surprise afterwards.

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 Urbandale 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.

Urbandale customers on our repiping work

★★★★★

Had them out for a leak under the sink and asked about our pressure while they were here. Turned out it was way high. New regulator, and the constant small drips around the house stopped.

Bram H. · Urbandale, IA

★★★★★

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

★★★★★

They replaced our old tank with a tankless unit and actually upsized the gas line to do it properly. The previous quote we had did not mention the gas line at all, which I now understand would have been a problem.

Repiping in Urbandale: common questions

How long does a whole house repipe take?

A typical Urbandale 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 Urbandale 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 work on commercial properties in Urbandale?

Yes. Restaurants, salons, clinics, offices, churches and multi-tenant buildings across Urbandale. We schedule outside trading hours at no extra cost so a repair does not cost you a day of business.
