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.

Toilet Repair & Replacement in Altoona, Iowa
Most Altoona toilet calls are an hour's work: flapper, fill valve, supply line, or a new wax ring and flange repair. Where the pan is cracked, the trapway is scaled shut, or the flange has rusted away, replacement makes more sense and we will show you why rather than just say it.
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 Altoona 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.

Bought an older house and had them scope the sewer before closing. Found roots in two joints. We used the video to negotiate the repair into the sale. Best money I spent on that purchase.

Two bathrooms remodelled and they did all the rough-in. Inspector had nothing to say, which apparently is the highest compliment available.

Toilet Repair in Altoona: common questions
Why does my toilet keep running?
Nearly always the flapper has gone hard and no longer seals, or the fill valve is set too high and water is spilling into the overflow tube. Both are inexpensive parts and a short visit for a Altoona home.
My toilet is overflowing right now - what do I do?
Take the tank lid off and push the flapper down to stop the water, then shut the valve at the wall behind the toilet. Call (833) 435-9778 and we will get someone out; if other fixtures are backing up too, the main line is involved.
Is it cheaper to repair or replace a toilet?
Repair, in most cases - a rebuild costs a fraction of a new unit. Once the porcelain is cracked or the internal trapway has scaled up, replacement is the only lasting answer.
How long does a toilet replacement take?
Around an hour to ninety minutes in a typical Altoona home, assuming the flange underneath is sound. A rusted or broken flange adds time and we quote that before proceeding.
Do you charge extra for nights and weekends in Altoona?
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.
