Company History

The company began as a local plumbing shop focused on farm and small-town needs. Over time, it added sewer and septic specialties and invested in trenchless technologies like CIPP lining to reduce digging and lawn damage. Growth came from steady referrals in Ames and nearby cities, and from contracts with local businesses and municipalities for grease traps and sewer repairs.

Leadership

Leadership is hands-on. The founder started in the trades and built the company around reliable field technicians and clear pricing. Staff participate in local trade associations and work with city inspectors during public projects. That local presence helps Behle keep service times short and understand Iowa building codes and soil conditions.
