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.

Toilet Repair & Replacement in Des Moines, Iowa
A toilet that runs quietly wastes more water than most Des Moines homeowners would believe - a failed flapper can push a bill up by more than the repair costs. A toilet that rocks is a slower problem but a worse one, because every rock breaks the wax seal and lets water into the subfloor.
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 Des Moines 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.

Sewer camera before we finished the basement. Clean line, no work needed, and they said so. Plenty of places would have found something.

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.

Toilet Repair in Des Moines: 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 Des Moines 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 Des Moines home, assuming the flange underneath is sound. A rusted or broken flange adds time and we quote that before proceeding.
Can you come out the same day in Des Moines?
Yes, most 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.
