We run a small restaurant and the grease line backed up during service. They jetted it after we closed that night so we opened normally the next morning. That flexibility is worth a lot to us.

Water Heater Repair in Boone, Iowa
Hard water is hard on tanks, and much of Boone runs hard. Sediment builds on the bottom of a gas heater until the burner is firing through an inch of scale, which is why an eight year old tank in Boone can sound like it is boiling gravel. We flush it, test the anode, replace what has failed, and tell you plainly how much life is left.
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.

Hard water is the quiet problem here
Water across much of Boone County carries enough mineral to scale the bottom of a water heater and fur up fixtures within a few years. If your Boone 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.

Had them out for a leak under the sink and asked about our pressure while they were here. Turned out it was way high. New regulator, and the constant small drips around the house stopped.

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.

Water Heater Repair in Boone: common questions
Is it worth repairing my water heater or should I replace it?
Under eight years old with a single failed part, repair almost always wins. Past twelve, with a leaking tank body, replacement is the only real option - a rusted-through tank cannot be patched. We give you both numbers for your Boone home and let you choose.
Can you fix a water heater the same day in Boone?
Usually yes. Our trucks carry thermocouples, elements, thermostats, gas control valves and T&P valves, so most Boone repairs finish on the first visit with hot water back before we leave.
My water heater is leaking - is that an emergency?
If water is coming from the tank body itself, yes, call (833) 435-9778 now and shut off the water supply to the heater. If it is dripping from a fitting or the T&P valve, it is urgent but not a flood risk, and we can usually be out the same day.
Why does my hot water run out so fast in Boone?
Most often sediment has stolen capacity from the bottom of the tank, or a lower element has failed on an electric heater so only the top half heats. Both are repairable. A dip tube that has broken down will do it too.
Do you have a plumber available in Boone right now?
Almost always. Our Boone 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.
