Sump pump died during a storm. Called at 11pm, got a person, had a new pump and a battery backup in the next morning. Basement stayed dry through the rest of the week.

Tankless Water Heater Installation in Ames, Iowa
Going tankless in Ames buys you two things: hot water that does not run out, and the floor space a fifty gallon tank was using. It costs more up front than a tank, and in hard-water areas it needs descaling every year or two. We will tell you honestly whether your Ames home is a good candidate before you spend the money.
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.

Winter splits pipes in the same places every year
The runs that fail in Ames are predictable: supply lines in exterior walls, anything crossing an unheated crawl space, and hose bibs left connected in November. Ice rarely bursts the pipe where it forms - it bursts it downstream where the pressure has nowhere to go, which is why the damage often shows up somewhere that never froze.

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.

Kitchen sink had been draining slowly for months. He cleared it, then showed me the grease he pulled out and explained why it kept coming back. No upsell, no drama, and the price was what I was quoted on the phone.

Tankless Water Heater Installation in Ames: common questions
Is a tankless water heater worth it in Ames?
If you regularly run out of hot water or you want the space back, yes. If your household is two people who never run out, a good tank is the better value. We give you both prices and our honest read on your Ames home.
Will my gas line handle a tankless heater?
Often not as-is. A tankless burner can call for far more gas than a tank. We check the meter, the run length and the pipe size before quoting, and include any upsizing in the number rather than discovering it on install day.
How often does a tankless heater need servicing?
In hard water - which covers a lot of Ames - plan on descaling every twelve to eighteen months. We fit isolation valves on every install so that service is quick and inexpensive.
Can a tankless heater run two showers at once?
A correctly sized unit can. That is exactly what the sizing conversation is for: we count your simultaneous fixtures and pick a unit that covers them at Iowa groundwater temperatures, not at some warm-climate rating.
Do you charge extra for nights and weekends in Ames?
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.
