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 Washington, Iowa
Replacing a water heater in Washington 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.

Winter splits pipes in the same places every year
The runs that fail in Washington are predictable: supply lines in exterior walls, anything crossing an unheated crawl space, and hose bibs left connected in November. Ice rarely bursts the pipe where it forms - it bursts it downstream where the pressure has nowhere to go, which is why the damage often shows up somewhere that never froze.

Our water heater quit on a Saturday with a house full of family. They came out the same afternoon, found a failed element rather than telling us we needed a new tank, and we had hot water back by dinner.

Garbage disposal was humming and I assumed it was dead. He freed the jam, hit the reset, and did not charge me for a new unit I did not need. Honest is the word.

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