Second opinion on a quote to dig up our whole sewer line. They cameraed it, found one bad section, and lined it for a fraction. Saved us thousands.

Water Heater Replacement & Installation in Clear Lake, Iowa
Replacing a water heater in Clear Lake is as much about what is around the tank as the tank itself. We see undersized gas lines, single-wall vent run too flat, missing drip legs and no expansion tank on a closed system. Those get corrected as part of the install, because a new heater plumbed into an old mistake fails early.
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 Clear Lake 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 Clear Lake homeowners about a battery backup, because an unbacked pump and a storm outage is how basements flood here.

They handled the permit for our water heater replacement so I did not have to think about it. Inspection passed first time.

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 Clear Lake: common questions
How long does a water heater replacement take in Clear Lake?
A straight like-for-like swap in Clear Lake 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 Clear Lake home. Nothing gets left in your garage.
Do I need a permit to replace a water heater in Clear Lake?
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.
Do you have a plumber available in Clear Lake right now?
Almost always. Our Clear Lake line is answered around the clock, including nights, weekends and holidays. Call (833) 435-9778 and we will tell you honestly how soon a truck can be at your address rather than giving you a vague window.
