Fast, polite, and they put down drop cloths without being asked. Small thing, but it tells you how the rest of the job is going to go.

Water Leak Detection & Repair in Ottumwa, Iowa
A hidden leak is expensive twice: once on the water bill and again on the drywall. In Ottumwa 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.

Spring thaw is when sump pumps get tested
A sump pump in Ottumwa sits idle for months and then has one important night. That is usually also the night the power flickers. We check the float, the check valve and the discharge line, and we talk to most Ottumwa homeowners about a battery backup, because an unbacked pump and a storm outage is how basements flood here.

No hot water on the coldest morning of the year. Thermocouple. Out and fixed within two hours of my call, and he showed me where the reset is for next time.

Water Leak Repair in Ottumwa: 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 Ottumwa 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.
Can you come out the same day in Ottumwa?
Yes, most Ottumwa calls are handled the same day, and genuine emergencies - flooding, sewage backups, no water, gas smells - get moved to the front of the queue immediately.
