Homes around Union, Iowa tend to be older and further apart, which changes the job. Longer water service runs, more private wells, more frozen pipe calls in January. A plumber who only works new construction is out of his depth here.
The parts of the job that are easy to skip and we do not.
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.
Drop cloths go down, cuts get made clean so the patch is easy, and the old tank or fixture leaves with the truck. The room should look better than we found it.
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.
Sewer and drain problems get a camera down the line first, and you see the screen. Nobody trenches a yard on a guess when a fifteen minute look will show the break.
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.
Straight answers to the things people call and ask first.
Yes, and it starts with an actual water test rather than a guess. Hardness, iron and sulfur all need different equipment, so the Union system gets sized off what is really in your water.

That is the classic hidden leak — usually a slab leak, an underground service line, or a toilet flapper passing water quietly all night. A Union leak detection visit puts a pressure gauge on the system and finds it without digging up the yard first.
Yes — well pumps, pressure tanks and pressure switches are regular work. Short cycling, no pressure and a pump that will not shut off are the three most common calls we take from well owners near Union.
You get a price for the repair before any work starts, not an hourly meter that runs while you watch. The diagnostic visit in Union is quoted up front on the phone, and if you approve the repair that visit charge goes toward the job.
For a true emergency in Union the target is same-day, and most of the time inside a few hours. Scheduled work like a water heater swap or a fixture set is usually booked within two or three business days.
