Yes, we use advanced waterproof, self-leveling sewer inspection cameras equipped with radio sondes. We feed the camera down your main cleanout to visually inspect the interior condition of your sewer line, identifying cracked joints, pipe bellies, and invasive tree roots, and pin-pointing the exact depth and location from above ground.

First, locate and turn off your property's main water shutoff valve (usually situated in the basement, utility closet, or near the water meter) to stop active water flow. Next, open a low-level faucet to relieve residual water line pressure. Turn off electrical power to any flooded areas at the breaker panel, avoid using plumbing fixtures, and call 877-410-0321 for live safety instructions while our technician is en route.

Yes. Depending on whether your water is treated municipal water or well water, hard minerals like calcium and magnesium, as well as chlorine and heavy metals, can degrade fixtures and irritate skin. Our Iowa City water quality specialists test your water supply and install high-performance ion-exchange softeners or reverse osmosis systems engineered for optimal home protection.

Yes. Standard chemical drain cleaners often damage pipes and provide only temporary relief. Our plumbers in Iowa City utilize professional mechanical augers and high-velocity hydro-jetting equipment generating up to 4,000 PSI to pulverize grease, mineral scale, sludge, and tree root intrusions, restoring full pipe diameter permanently.

We recommend scheduling a comprehensive plumbing and drain inspection at least once every 12 to 18 months, especially for properties over 20 years old. Proactive inspections detect slow valve weeping, minor toilet leaks, anode rod depletion, and tree root ingress early, preventing catastrophic water damage down the line.
