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.

Water Heater Repair in Story City, Iowa
Cold showers get old fast. Most Story City 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.

Water pressure worth checking
A lot of Story City homes run higher static pressure than they should, and high pressure quietly shortens the life of every valve, supply line and water heater in the house. It is a cheap thing to measure and an inexpensive thing to correct with a pressure reducing valve.

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 Story City: 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 Story City home and let you choose.
Can you fix a water heater the same day in Story City?
Usually yes. Our trucks carry thermocouples, elements, thermostats, gas control valves and T&P valves, so most Story City 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 Story City?
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.
How much does a plumber cost in Story City?
We quote flat, per job, before any work starts. You hear the number on the phone or at your door, you agree to it, and it does not change because the job took longer than expected. There is no hourly clock running while we diagnose.
