What we see most in West Des Moines

Hard water is the quiet problem here

Water across much of Polk County carries enough mineral to scale the bottom of a water heater and fur up fixtures within a few years. If your West Des Moines tank has started rumbling or your hot water runs out sooner than it used to, sediment is usually why. A flush and an anode check often buys years, and a softener stops the cycle.

Tree roots and the front yard

Mature trees are one of the nicer things about older West Des Moines 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.

Older sewer lines here are clay or cast iron

Plenty of West Des Moines homes still run their waste out to the street through clay tile with a joint every few feet, and roots find every one of them. Cast iron scales shut from the inside instead. Either way, a main line that backs up twice in a year is telling you something a camera can confirm in twenty minutes.

Calling a plumber in West Des Moines

  1. Call and talk to a plumber

    You get a person, not a queue. Describe what is happening and we will tell you whether it needs someone now or can wait until morning.

  2. Get an arrival window before you hang up

    We tell you when a truck will be there and we call you if that changes. No four-hour windows and no silence.

  3. Agree the price before work starts

    The job is quoted flat once we have seen it. You agree to that number first, and it does not move if the work runs long.

  4. Fixed, tested and cleaned up

    We test what we repaired under real conditions, tidy the area, and tell you plainly what failed and what to keep an eye on.

Reviews from West Des Moines and nearby

★★★★★

Water bill nearly doubled and I could not find anything wrong. They found a slab leak under the hallway with a listening device, cut one small square of flooring, and fixed it. I was braced for a lot worse.

Curtis D. · West Des Moines, IA

★★★★★

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.

Perry N. · Des Moines, IA

★★★★★

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.

Plumbing questions from West Des Moines customers

What plumbing services do you offer in West Des Moines?

Drain and sewer cleaning, hydro jetting, sewer camera inspections, water heater repair and replacement, tankless installation, leak detection, burst and frozen pipe repair, repiping, toilets and faucets, garbage disposals, sump pumps, gas lines, water softeners, backflow testing and commercial plumbing.

Do you serve the smaller towns around West Des Moines?

We do. Our West Des Moines 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.

Do you have a plumber available in West Des Moines right now?

Almost always. Our West Des Moines line is answered around the clock, including nights, weekends and holidays. Call (833) 435-9778 and we will tell you honestly how soon a truck can be at your address rather than giving you a vague window.

Can you come out the same day in West Des Moines?

Yes, most West Des Moines 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.

What should I do while I wait for the plumber?

For anything involving running water, shut the main valve off and open the lowest faucet in the house to drain the pressure. For a gas smell, get everyone outside first and call from there. For a backup, stop using every fixture in the house, not just the one that is blocked.

Can you tell me what is wrong over the phone?

Often we can narrow it down, and sometimes we can tell you it is something you can fix yourself in five minutes. We would rather do that than send a truck you did not need.
