What you actually get when you call us.
This started as two people and a truck in 1998 and grew on water, sewer and drain work. Nearly three decades in one trade, not a franchise name bought off a shelf last year.
Softeners and filters get sized off a real water test, not a sales script. Hardness, iron and sulfur are three different problems and they need three different answers.
Told you need a full repipe or a new sewer line? Get it looked at again. Sometimes it is a smaller fix, and sometimes we confirm the first plumber was right so you can spend with confidence.
Burst pipes and sewage backups do not wait for business hours. The phone is answered at night and on weekends, and the first thing you get is help finding your shutoff.
You hear the number before a wrench moves. No hourly meter running while you stand there, and no discovering the real cost after the wall is open.
What you probably want to know before you book.
Yes, and it starts with an actual water test rather than a guess. Hardness, iron and sulfur all need different equipment, so the Ames system gets sized off what is really in your water.
Yes. A Ames repipe runs room by room so the house never loses water for more than a few hours at a stretch. Old galvanized and polybutylene are the two we replace most.
You get a price for the repair before any work starts, not an hourly meter that runs while you watch. The diagnostic visit in Ames is quoted up front on the phone, and if you approve the repair that visit charge goes toward the job.
Yes. Burst pipes, sewage backups and no-water calls in Ames are answered around the clock. The first thing on the phone is getting your main shutoff closed so the house stops taking damage while a truck is on the way.
That is the classic hidden leak — usually a slab leak, an underground service line, or a toilet flapper passing water quietly all night. A Ames leak detection visit puts a pressure gauge on the system and finds it without digging up the yard first.
Under about eight years old with a bad element, thermostat or valve, repair is usually the better money in Ames. Past twelve years, or if the tank itself is weeping, replacement is the honest answer and we will say so.
The work speaks, but so do the people who paid for it.
"Water heater let go on a Sunday morning and flooded half the basement. Had someone here inside two hours, new tank in by afternoon, and he hauled the old one off. Price was what he said on the phone."
"Shower valve had been dripping for years and two other plumbers said the whole wall had to come out. These folks changed the cartridge and the valve body through the existing opening."
"Burst pipe in the crawlspace in January. He had the main off and the section cut out before I finished explaining. Pressure tested it in front of me before he closed it up."
