Plumbing services in Thornton, Iowa

Everything below is available in Thornton, day or night, at the same flat pricing we use everywhere else in the state.

Emergency Plumber

Burst pipes, sewage backing up, no water in the house. We answer the phone at 2am and roll a truck the same night.

Read more

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 more

Water 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 more

Water 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 more

Burst 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 more

Water 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 more

Sewer 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 more

Hydro Jetting

High-pressure water that scours grease, scale and roots back to bare pipe wall instead of drilling a hole through them.

Read more

Toilet Repair

Running, rocking, leaking or overflowing. Rebuilt in an hour or replaced with a new pan set on a fresh flange and wax.

Read more

Sump 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 more

Gas 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 more

Repiping

Whole-house repipes and main water line replacement when patching galvanised or polybutylene has stopped making sense.

Read more

Commercial Plumbing

Restaurants, salons, clinics, offices and shops. Scheduled around your hours so a plumbing problem never closes your doors.

Read more

Frozen Pipe Repair

Thawed safely, checked for splits as it comes back, and the run insulated or rerouted so next winter is quieter.

Read more

Faucet Repair

Dripping faucets, failing shower valves, dead shutoffs and new fixture installs done without wrecking the finish.

Read more

Backflow Testing

Annual testing, repair and documentation for irrigation systems, commercial buildings and fire lines.

What we see most in Thornton

Older sewer lines here are clay or cast iron

Plenty of Thornton 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.

Tree roots and the front yard

Mature trees are one of the nicer things about older Thornton streets and one of the harder things on sewer lines. Roots do not break into a sound pipe - they find a joint that has already opened slightly and then widen it. Cutting them buys a season; lining the pipe ends it.

Hard water is the quiet problem here

Water across much of the surrounding area carries enough mineral to scale the bottom of a water heater and fur up fixtures within a few years. If your Thornton tank has started rumbling or your hot water runs out sooner than it used to, sediment is usually why. A flush and an anode check often buys years, and a softener stops the cycle.

Calling a plumber in Thornton

  1. Call and talk to a plumber

    You get a person, not a queue. Describe what is happening and we will tell you whether it needs someone now or can wait until morning.

  2. Get an arrival window before you hang up

    We tell you when a truck will be there and we call you if that changes. No four-hour windows and no silence.

  3. Agree the price before work starts

    The job is quoted flat once we have seen it. You agree to that number first, and it does not move if the work runs long.

  4. Fixed, tested and cleaned up

    We test what we repaired under real conditions, tidy the area, and tell you plainly what failed and what to keep an eye on.

Reviews from Thornton and nearby

★★★★★

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.

Dana R. · Thornton, IA

★★★★★

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.

Sandra V. · Thornton, IA

★★★★★

Garbage disposal was humming and I assumed it was dead. He freed the jam, hit the reset, and did not charge me for a new unit I did not need. Honest is the word.
