Sewer camera before we finished the basement. Clean line, no work needed, and they said so. Plenty of places would have found something.

Water Heater Replacement & Installation in Atlantic, Iowa
A tank that has rusted through is not a repair job, it is a countdown. When a Atlantic heater has to be replaced we like to do it before it floods the basement rather than after. Most swaps take a morning: drain and pull the old unit, correct anything the last installer got wrong, set the new tank, fit new flex connectors and a thermal expansion tank, then fire it and test.
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.

Winter splits pipes in the same places every year
The runs that fail in Atlantic are predictable: supply lines in exterior walls, anything crossing an unheated crawl space, and hose bibs left connected in November. Ice rarely bursts the pipe where it forms - it bursts it downstream where the pressure has nowhere to go, which is why the damage often shows up somewhere that never froze.

Sink drained slow, laundry backed up, and it turned out to be the main. Jetted it and cameraed it after so we could see it was actually clear.

Third plumber we called about a main line that kept backing up. First two just cabled it and left. These guys ran a camera, showed me the cracked joint on the screen, and lined it. Two years and no problems since.

Water Heater Replacement in Atlantic: common questions
How long does a water heater replacement take in Atlantic?
A straight like-for-like swap in Atlantic usually runs three to four hours. Moving the unit, changing fuel type or upsizing the gas line adds time, and we tell you that before the day rather than on it.
What size water heater do I need?
Two people are generally fine on 40 gallons, a family of four is comfortable on 50, and five or more with two bathrooms usually wants 75 or a tankless. We size it on your actual morning routine, not a chart.
Do you take the old water heater away?
Yes. Removal, haul-away and disposal are included in the price we quote for your Atlantic home. Nothing gets left in your garage.
Do I need a permit to replace a water heater in Atlantic?
Many Iowa jurisdictions require one and some ask for an inspection afterwards. We handle the paperwork as part of the job so the install is on record when you sell the house.
Can you come out the same day in Atlantic?
Yes, most Atlantic calls are handled the same day, and genuine emergencies - flooding, sewage backups, no water, gas smells - get moved to the front of the queue immediately.
