The full range of residential plumbing, water and sewer work.

Repiping

Water Heater Repair

Same-day water heater replacement available across Carter Lake, with the old tank hauled off the same trip.

Emergency Plumbing

Burst pipes, sewage backups and no-water calls in Carter Lake answered around the clock, starting with getting your main shutoff closed.

Toilet Repair and Installation

A toilet that runs all night can add real money to a Carter Lake water bill. Most are a rebuild, not a replacement.

Leak Detection

Acoustic listening, thermal imaging and pressure testing pinpoint the leak in Carter Lake so the repair stays small.

Gas Line Repair

If you smell gas in Carter Lake, get out and call. Leak location and repair handled by a licensed contractor.

Faucet and Fixture Repair

A dripping shower usually needs a cartridge, not a wall opened up. We try the smaller fix first in Carter Lake.

Well Pump Repair

No pressure, short cycling or a pump that will not shut off near Carter Lake — usually the switch or a waterlogged tank.

Drain Cleaning

Slow drains get cleared through an existing cleanout, no floor cut. You see the camera screen afterward.

Water Line Repair

The main water line between the meter or well and your Carter Lake home repaired or replaced, including trenching and restoration.

Water Softener Installation

Softeners, filtration and treatment for Carter Lake homes, sized off an actual water test rather than a sales script.

Garbage Disposal Repair

New disposal installed in Carter Lake with the mounting and the dishwasher connection done properly.

About Our Carter Lake, IA Plumbing Service

Gene Wagner started this company in 1998 with one truck and a licence, and the first customers were neighbors. That is still the shape of the work in a city like Carter Lake — you show up, you do it right, and the next call comes from the person next door.

Homes around Carter Lake, 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.

Why Carter Lake Homeowners Call Us

Why homeowners keep the number after the first job.

Plumbing Since 1998

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.

We Clean Up After

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.

Second Opinion Program

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.

Licensed and Insured

Every job goes to a licensed, insured plumbing contractor who pulls the permits your town requires. Licence numbers are on the invoice, not buried on a webpage.

Price Before the Work

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

The questions homeowners ask us most.

Why does my water bill keep climbing in Carter Lake with nothing running?

That is the classic hidden leak — usually a slab leak, an underground service line, or a toilet flapper passing water quietly all night. A Carter Lake leak detection visit puts a pressure gauge on the system and finds it without digging up the yard first.

Is my water heater worth repairing in Carter Lake?

Under about eight years old with a bad element, thermostat or valve, repair is usually the better money in Carter Lake. Past twelve years, or if the tank itself is weeping, replacement is the honest answer and we will say so.

Do you handle water treatment and softeners in Carter Lake?

Yes, and it starts with an actual water test rather than a guess. Hardness, iron and sulfur all need different equipment, so the Carter Lake system gets sized off what is really in your water.

Are the plumbers sent to Carter Lake licensed and insured?

Yes. Every Carter Lake job goes to a licensed, insured plumbing contractor who pulls the permits your municipality requires. Licence numbers are on the invoice and available before the truck rolls.

Do you answer emergency plumbing calls at night in Carter Lake?

Yes. Burst pipes, sewage backups and no-water calls in Carter Lake are answered around the clock. The first thing on the phone is getting your main shutoff closed so the house stops taking damage while a truck is on the way.

Do you give second opinions on plumbing quotes in Carter Lake?

We do. If someone has told you the house needs a full repipe or a new sewer line, a Carter Lake second opinion either finds you a smaller fix or confirms the first diagnosis so you can buy with confidence.

What Our Customers Say

What homeowners say after the truck pulls out.

★★★★★

"Burst pipe in the crawlspace in January. He had the main off and the section cut out before I finished explaining. Pressure tested it in front of me before he closed it up."

— Rick D.
★★★★★

"Sewage backed up into the basement shower on a Friday night. They were out that night, cleared it, and came back Monday with the camera at no extra charge to make sure it was really clear."

— Renee A.
★★★★★

"Kitchen drain had been slow for a year. Ran the cable, then put a camera down and showed me the grease ring on his screen. Explained what to stop pouring down it. Has not backed up since."

— Kenny W.
