Water Heater Replacement & Installation in Clive, Iowa

A tank that has rusted through is not a repair job, it is a countdown. When a Clive 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.

Older sewer lines here are clay or cast iron

Plenty of Clive homes still run their waste out to the street through clay tile with a joint every few feet, and roots find every one of them. Cast iron scales shut from the inside instead. Either way, a main line that backs up twice in a year is telling you something a camera can confirm in twenty minutes.

Clive customers on our water heater replacement work

★★★★★

Toilet had been running for who knows how long. Quick visit, new flapper and fill valve, and my water bill dropped noticeably the next month. Wish I had called a year earlier.

Ray B. · Clive, IA

★★★★★

Woke up to water coming through the kitchen ceiling at about 4am. Somebody answered on the second ring, talked me through shutting the main off, and a truck was here inside the hour. Split pipe in the bathroom wall. Fixed and tested before I left for work.

Dana R. · Urbandale, IA

★★★★★

Toilet was rocking and had been for ages. Broken flange underneath. They repaired it properly rather than just adding another wax ring on top.

Water Heater Replacement in Clive: common questions

How long does a water heater replacement take in Clive?

A straight like-for-like swap in Clive 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 Clive home. Nothing gets left in your garage.

Do I need a permit to replace a water heater in Clive?

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 tell me what is wrong over the phone?

Often we can narrow it down, and sometimes we can tell you it is something you can fix yourself in five minutes. We would rather do that than send a truck you did not need.
