Plumbing services in Tama, Iowa
Everything below is available in Tama, day or night, at the same flat pricing we use everywhere else in the state.
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
Old tank out, new tank in, usually inside a morning. Correct venting, new flex lines, expansion tank and a permit where the city wants one.
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 moreSewer Line Repair
Root intrusion, collapsed clay and bellied lines repaired by trenchless lining where the pipe allows and open cut where it does not.
Read moreHydro Jetting
High-pressure water that scours grease, scale and roots back to bare pipe wall instead of drilling a hole through them.
Read moreSewer Camera Inspection
A recorded look down the line before you buy a house, or before anyone quotes you for digging up the yard.
Read moreToilet Repair
Running, rocking, leaking or overflowing. Rebuilt in an hour or replaced with a new pan set on a fresh flange and wax.
Read moreSump Pump Repair
The one pump in the house that only matters on the worst night of the year. Tested, repaired, replaced and backed up.
Read moreGas Line Repair
Gas smell, a leak on the meter side, or a new run for a range, dryer, grill or garage heater. Pressure-tested every time.
Read moreRepiping
Whole-house repipes and main water line replacement when patching galvanised or polybutylene has stopped making sense.
Read moreWater Softener Installation
Iowa water is hard. A properly sized softener protects the water heater, the fixtures and everything you wash.
Read moreCommercial Plumbing
Restaurants, salons, clinics, offices and shops. Scheduled around your hours so a plumbing problem never closes your doors.
Read moreFrozen Pipe Repair
Thawed safely, checked for splits as it comes back, and the run insulated or rerouted so next winter is quieter.
Read moreGarbage Disposal Repair
Humming, jammed, leaking or dead. Freed and repaired where it is worth it, swapped where the motor has gone.
Read moreFaucet Repair
Dripping faucets, failing shower valves, dead shutoffs and new fixture installs done without wrecking the finish.
Read moreBackflow Testing
Annual testing, repair and documentation for irrigation systems, commercial buildings and fire lines.
Read moreWhat we see most in Tama
Water pressure worth checking
A lot of Tama 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.
Well water changes what you need
Homes outside the Tama municipal supply often deal with iron and sulphur alongside hardness, and a plain softener will not handle all three. We test before recommending anything, because the wrong equipment on well water either fails early or does nothing.
Older sewer lines here are clay or cast iron
Plenty of Tama 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 Tama and nearby
★★★★★
Second opinion on a quote to dig up our whole sewer line. They cameraed it, found one bad section, and lined it for a fraction. Saved us thousands.
Verity P. · Tama, IA
★★★★★
They came out to a rental I own after hours because the tenant had no water. Kept me updated by phone the whole time even though I was three hours away.
Constance A. · Tama, IA
★★★★★
They installed a new 50 gallon heater and hauled the old one away same visit. Took about three hours start to finish and the expansion tank was included, which the other quote had left off.

Plumbing questions from Tama customers
Can you tell me what is wrong over the phone?
Often we can narrow it down, and sometimes we can tell you it is something you can fix yourself in five minutes. We would rather do that than send a truck you did not need.
Do you have a plumber available in Tama right now?
Almost always. Our Tama 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.
How much does a plumber cost in Tama?
We quote flat, per job, before any work starts. You hear the number on the phone or at your door, you agree to it, and it does not change because the job took longer than expected. There is no hourly clock running while we diagnose.
Do you charge extra for nights and weekends in Tama?
No. A call at 2am on a Sunday costs the same as the same job at 2pm on a Wednesday. No overtime rate, no holiday surcharge, no emergency premium.
Can you come out the same day in Tama?
Yes, most Tama 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.
