24/7 Plumbing Services in Ruthven, Iowa
Hard water, cold winters and a lot of older housing stock give Ruthven a fairly predictable set of plumbing problems. Water heaters scale up and quit early. Pipes in exterior walls split in January. Clay sewer lines fill with roots every spring. We know the pattern here, which is why the truck that shows up at your Ruthven address usually has the part on it already.
Our Ruthven plumbers handle clogged drains, sewer backups, no hot water, leaking water heaters, burst and frozen pipes, running toilets, failing sump pumps, gas line work and whole-house repipes - residential and commercial alike.

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

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 moreWhat we see most in Ruthven
Water pressure worth checking
A lot of Ruthven 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.
Spring thaw is when sump pumps get tested
A sump pump in Ruthven 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 Ruthven homeowners about a battery backup, because an unbacked pump and a storm outage is how basements flood here.
Older sewer lines here are clay or cast iron
Plenty of Ruthven 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.

Reviews from Ruthven and nearby
★★★★★
Shower had been running cold randomly for months. Turned out to be the balancing cartridge, not the whole valve like another company told us. Fixed in under an hour.
Trent L. · Ruthven, 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.
Lena M. · Ruthven, IA
★★★★★
They handled the permit for our water heater replacement so I did not have to think about it. Inspection passed first time.

Plumbing questions from Ruthven customers
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 come out the same day in Ruthven?
Yes, most Ruthven 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.

Almost always. Our Ruthven 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.
Do you serve the smaller towns around Ruthven?
