Sewage came up through the basement floor drain on a Sunday. They were out in about forty minutes and stayed until it was actually clear rather than just moving.

Water Leak Detection & Repair in Altoona, Iowa
A hidden leak is expensive twice: once on the water bill and again on the drywall. In Altoona we find leaks with acoustic listening gear, thermal imaging and pressure isolation rather than by opening a wall and hoping. The goal is a small, precise hole in one place instead of a large exploratory one in three.
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 Altoona 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.

Two bathrooms remodelled and they did all the rough-in. Inspector had nothing to say, which apparently is the highest compliment available.

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 Leak Repair in Altoona: common questions
How do I know if I have a hidden water leak?
Turn off every fixture and appliance in the house, then look at the water meter. If the low-flow indicator is still turning, water is going somewhere. That test costs nothing and is the first thing we ask Altoona callers to do.
Can you find a leak without tearing up my floor?
That is the whole point of the equipment. Acoustic gear and thermal imaging let us mark the spot within a small area, so the access we make is measured in inches rather than feet.
What is a slab leak?
It is a leak in a water line running beneath a concrete floor. Warm spots underfoot, unexplained damp on a slab and a running meter with everything off are the classic signs. Repair is usually either a spot fix or a reroute above the slab - we price both.
Is a small drip worth calling about?
Yes. A leak that is small today is doing damage every hour, and inside a wall you cannot see it accumulating. Small leaks are also the cheapest ones to fix.
Do you serve the smaller towns around Altoona?
We do. Our Altoona coverage extends through the surrounding communities, and we run across the whole state, so being outside the city limits does not mean waiting longer or paying a travel premium.
