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

Grease is the leading cause of kitchen line calls
Most of the kitchen drains we cable in Marshalltown are lined with cooled grease rather than blocked by any single object. It goes down warm and sets on the pipe wall a few feet along. Once that layer is thick enough, one bowl of rice finishes the job.

Water softener install. They tested our water first rather than just selling a unit, and sized it accordingly. Fixtures have stayed clean since.

Frozen pipe in the crawl space. They thawed it carefully, watched it come back under pressure to check for splits, then insulated the run. Has not happened again.

Water Heater Replacement in Marshalltown: common questions
How long does a water heater replacement take in Marshalltown?
A straight like-for-like swap in Marshalltown 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 Marshalltown home. Nothing gets left in your garage.
Do I need a permit to replace a water heater in Marshalltown?
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 Marshalltown?
Usually within the hour for Marshalltown 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.
