Basement floor drain smelled for weeks. Turned out to be a dried trap, not anything serious. He explained it, filled it, and charged for the callout only.

Water Heater Replacement & Installation in Solon, Iowa
Replacing a water heater in Solon 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.

Tree roots and the front yard
Mature trees are one of the nicer things about older Solon 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.

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.

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.

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