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 & Installation in Red Oak, Iowa
Replacing a water heater in Red Oak 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.

Older sewer lines here are clay or cast iron
Plenty of Red Oak 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.

They replaced our old tank with a tankless unit and actually upsized the gas line to do it properly. The previous quote we had did not mention the gas line at all, which I now understand would have been a problem.

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 in Red Oak: common questions
How long does a water heater replacement take in Red Oak?
A straight like-for-like swap in Red Oak 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 Red Oak home. Nothing gets left in your garage.
Do I need a permit to replace a water heater in Red Oak?
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 charge extra for nights and weekends in Red Oak?
No. A call at 2am on a Sunday costs the same as the same job at 2pm on a Wednesday. No overtime rate, no holiday surcharge, no emergency premium.
