Our old cast iron stack was scaled almost shut. They jetted it and the difference was obvious immediately. Showed me before and after footage.

Water Heater Replacement & Installation in Marion, Iowa
A tank that has rusted through is not a repair job, it is a countdown. When a Marion 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.

Tree roots and the front yard
Mature trees are one of the nicer things about older Marion streets and one of the harder things on sewer lines. Roots do not break into a sound pipe - they find a joint that has already opened slightly and then widen it. Cutting them buys a season; lining the pipe ends it.

Called on Christmas Eve about a frozen pipe. Fully expected a holiday surcharge and there wasn't one. Same price as any other day, which I did not expect and have not forgotten.

Fast, polite, and they put down drop cloths without being asked. Small thing, but it tells you how the rest of the job is going to go.

Water Heater Replacement in Marion: common questions
How long does a water heater replacement take in Marion?
A straight like-for-like swap in Marion 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 Marion home. Nothing gets left in your garage.
Do I need a permit to replace a water heater in Marion?
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.
How quickly can you get to an emergency in Marion?
Usually within the hour for Marion addresses. When you call (833) 435-9778 we give you a real arrival window before you hang up, and we call again if anything changes it.
