They came out to a rental I own after hours because the tenant had no water. Kept me updated by phone the whole time even though I was three hours away.

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

Grease is the leading cause of kitchen line calls
Most of the kitchen drains we cable in Pleasant Hill are lined with cooled grease rather than blocked by any single object. It goes down warm and sets on the pipe wall a few feet along. Once that layer is thick enough, one bowl of rice finishes the job.

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.

Sewage came up through the basement floor drain on a Sunday. They were out in about forty minutes and stayed until it was actually clear rather than just moving.

Water Heater Repair in Pleasant Hill: 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 Pleasant Hill home and let you choose.
Can you fix a water heater the same day in Pleasant Hill?
Usually yes. Our trucks carry thermocouples, elements, thermostats, gas control valves and T&P valves, so most Pleasant Hill 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 Pleasant Hill?
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.
