Sewer Line Repair · West Des Moines, Iowa
Sewer work is the one plumbing job where homeowners get taken advantage of most often, so we do it backwards from the usual: camera first, footage shown to you on the screen, then options. Plenty of West Des Moines lines that get quoted for full replacement actually need a root cut and a liner over one bad joint.
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.

Call (833) 435-9778A 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.

Third plumber we called about a main line that kept backing up. First two just cabled it and left. These guys ran a camera, showed me the cracked joint on the screen, and lined it. Two years and no problems since.

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.

They handled the permit for our water heater replacement so I did not have to think about it. Inspection passed first time.

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 moreEndless hot water and a wall back in your basement, done with the gas line and venting sized properly rather than hoped at.
Read moreWater shut off, the split section cut out and replaced, and the line pressure-tested before we leave. Any hour, any day.

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.
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 West Des Moines line cannot take a liner we will say so rather than sell it anyway.
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.
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.
Yes, most West Des Moines 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.
One number, answered around the clock, with the price agreed before we start.
