Company History
Gateway Plumbing began as a small two-person shop and grew with steady local work. Early on, the company focused on farmhouse repairs and rental-unit turnover work near Iowa State University. Over time it added inspection services and a small fleet of service vans.
The company kept its local roots while expanding service to nearby towns. That growth came from practical problem solving and repeat customers rather than heavy advertising.
Leadership
The founder has decades of hands-on plumbing experience in central Iowa. Leadership keeps active field schedules and meets with customers on-site. Staff training emphasizes code knowledge, safe work practices, and clear estimates.
Leaders participate in local trade groups and support community upkeep projects when schedules allow. That keeps the business tied to local housing needs and seasonal plumbing challenges.
Specialties & Highlights
- Focused plumbing inspections for older homes and rental properties.
- Quick response to frozen-pipe and sump pump trouble in winter.
- Friendly, on-the-job explanations so customers understand repairs.
- Service vans stocked for common repairs to reduce return visits.
