Q&A
What should I do if I have a broken shutoff valve or a sewer backup in my Cedar Rapids home?
These are common issues in our area. For a broken shutoff valve, it's important to avoid forcing it; we can safely replace it to restore proper water control and prevent leaks. For sewer backups, which can be caused by root intrusion or aging infrastructure, we perform thorough inspections using cameras to locate the exact cause and provide effective repairs, such as snaking or targeted pipe repair, to get your system flowing correctly again.
Do you handle complete bathroom remodeling, or just individual fixture repairs?
We do both. As a full-service plumbing company, we can handle isolated repairs like fixing a leaky faucet or running toilet. For larger projects, Owner Kent Fowlkes, a Master Plumber with 25 years of experience, specializes in coordinating complete bathroom remodels. This includes the plumbing for new tub/shower installations, sink and toilet setups, and ensuring all new fixtures are properly installed and integrated into your home's existing water and drain lines.
I need a new water heater installed. What does that process involve?
Our water heater installation service begins with an assessment of your home's needs, fuel type (gas or electric), and capacity requirements. We handle the entire process: safely disconnecting and removing the old unit, preparing the location, installing the new water heater with proper connections and venting (for gas models), and testing the system to ensure it operates safely and efficiently. We also dispose of your old unit responsibly.
