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.

Sewer Camera Inspection in West Des Moines, Iowa
If you are buying a house in West Des Moines that was built before the 1980s, a sewer scope is the cheapest inspection you will ever pay for. A standard home inspection does not include it, and a failed line under a mature front yard is a five-figure surprise a month after closing.

Spring thaw is when sump pumps get tested
A sump pump in West Des Moines 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 West Des Moines homeowners about a battery backup, because an unbacked pump and a storm outage is how basements flood here.

Woke up to water coming through the kitchen ceiling at about 4am. Somebody answered on the second ring, talked me through shutting the main off, and a truck was here inside the hour. Split pipe in the bathroom wall. Fixed and tested before I left for work.

Faucet drip in the kitchen that two other people had failed to fix. Correct cartridge, ten minutes, done. Sometimes it just takes someone who carries the right parts.

Sewer Camera Inspection in West Des Moines: common questions
How much is a sewer camera inspection in West Des Moines?
It is a flat fee for a standard residential run in West Des Moines, quoted when you book. If we have to clear a blockage before the camera can pass, we tell you the added cost before doing it.
Should I get a sewer scope before buying a house?
On any West Des Moines home built before about 1980, we would. Home inspections do not cover the buried line, and it is the single most expensive thing that can be quietly wrong with a house.
Can you tell how deep the problem is?
Yes. The camera head carries a sonde we track from the surface, so we can mark the location and depth of a defect on your lawn with paint before anyone digs.
Do I get a copy of the video?
Always. You get the footage and a written summary, which is exactly what you need for a repair quote, a seller negotiation or an insurance claim.
How quickly can you get to an emergency in West Des Moines?
Usually within the hour for West Des Moines 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.
