They handled the permit for our water heater replacement so I did not have to think about it. Inspection passed first time.

Water Heater Repair in Clive, Iowa
Cold showers get old fast. Most Clive water heater calls come down to a handful of parts - a thermocouple that will not hold the pilot, a burnt-out element, a thermostat drifting out of range, or a temperature and pressure valve weeping. Those are same-day repairs. What we will not do is sell you a new tank when a forty dollar part fixes the one you have.
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.

Tree roots and the front yard
Mature trees are one of the nicer things about older Clive 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.

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.

Fast, polite, and they put down drop cloths without being asked. Small thing, but it tells you how the rest of the job is going to go.

Water Heater Repair in Clive: 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 Clive home and let you choose.
Can you fix a water heater the same day in Clive?
Usually yes. Our trucks carry thermocouples, elements, thermostats, gas control valves and T&P valves, so most Clive 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 Clive?
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 serve the smaller towns around Clive?
We do. Our Clive coverage extends through the surrounding communities, and we run across the whole state, so being outside the city limits does not mean waiting longer or paying a travel premium.
