They replaced our old tank with a tankless unit and actually upsized the gas line to do it properly. The previous quote we had did not mention the gas line at all, which I now understand would have been a problem.

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

Spring thaw is when sump pumps get tested
A sump pump in Urbandale 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 Urbandale homeowners about a battery backup, because an unbacked pump and a storm outage is how basements flood here.

Shower had been running cold randomly for months. Turned out to be the balancing cartridge, not the whole valve like another company told us. Fixed in under an hour.

No hot water on the coldest morning of the year. Thermocouple. Out and fixed within two hours of my call, and he showed me where the reset is for next time.

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