Sewer camera before we finished the basement. Clean line, no work needed, and they said so. Plenty of places would have found something.

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

Well water changes what you need
Homes outside the Storm Lake municipal supply often deal with iron and sulphur alongside hardness, and a plain softener will not handle all three. We test before recommending anything, because the wrong equipment on well water either fails early or does nothing.

Sink drained slow, laundry backed up, and it turned out to be the main. Jetted it and cameraed it after so we could see it was actually clear.

Third plumber we called about a main line that kept backing up. First two just cabled it and left. These guys ran a camera, showed me the cracked joint on the screen, and lined it. Two years and no problems since.

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