Sink drained slow, laundry backed up, and it turned out to be the main. Jetted it and cameraed it after so we could see it was actually clear.

Sewer Line Repair & Replacement in Ankeny, Iowa
Older Ankeny neighbourhoods are largely clay tile or cast iron under the front yard, and both fail predictably. Clay lets roots in at every joint. Cast iron scales shut from the inside and eventually cracks along the bottom. We camera the run, find the failure, and tell you whether it can be lined from inside or has to come up.
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.

Grease is the leading cause of kitchen line calls
Most of the kitchen drains we cable in Ankeny are lined with cooled grease rather than blocked by any single object. It goes down warm and sets on the pipe wall a few feet along. Once that layer is thick enough, one bowl of rice finishes the job.

New disposal and a dishwasher connection that the last installer had done wrong. Fixed both, and pointed out the wrong one rather than quietly leaving it.

Sewer Line Repair in Ankeny: common questions
How do I know if my sewer line needs repair or just cleaning?
The camera decides it. If the pipe is sound and roots or grease are the problem, cleaning is enough. If it is offset, bellied or cracked, cleaning buys months and then you are back. We show you the footage either way.
Is trenchless sewer repair available in Ankeny?
In many cases yes - it depends on the pipe's condition and the layout of the run. Lining and pipe bursting can save a driveway or a mature tree. If your Ankeny line cannot take a liner we will say so rather than sell it anyway.
How long does sewer line replacement take?
A trenchless job is often one day. An open-cut replacement usually runs one to three days depending on depth, length and what is on top of it. We give you a schedule up front.
Does homeowners insurance cover a sewer line?
The line itself usually is not covered, though resulting water damage sometimes is, and some policies offer a service line rider. Check your policy - we can supply the camera footage and a written report for a claim.
