Main water line between the meter and the house had a leak. They located it, replaced the run, and got the yard back to reasonable. No complaints at all.

Water Heater Repair in Keokuk, Iowa
Hard water is hard on tanks, and much of Keokuk 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 Keokuk 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.

Spring thaw is when sump pumps get tested
A sump pump in Keokuk sits idle for months and then has one important night. That is usually also the night the power flickers. We check the float, the check valve and the discharge line, and we talk to most Keokuk homeowners about a battery backup, because an unbacked pump and a storm outage is how basements flood here.

Fair price, showed up when they said, and did not leave a mess. I do not know how to review a plumber more highly than that.

Water softener install. They tested our water first rather than just selling a unit, and sized it accordingly. Fixtures have stayed clean since.

Water Heater Repair in Keokuk: 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 Keokuk home and let you choose.
Can you fix a water heater the same day in Keokuk?
Usually yes. Our trucks carry thermocouples, elements, thermostats, gas control valves and T&P valves, so most Keokuk 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 Keokuk?
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.
What should I do while I wait for the plumber?
For anything involving running water, shut the main valve off and open the lowest faucet in the house to drain the pressure. For a gas smell, get everyone outside first and call from there. For a backup, stop using every fixture in the house, not just the one that is blocked.
