Rapid 24/7 emergency Repairs for Every Plumbing Crisis
Burst or Leaking Pipes
Burst pipes, cracked fittings, and sudden leaks can cause major water damage in just a short time. We isolate the water leak, stop the water leak, and repair the failure with a focus on getting your home’s plumbing working normally again.
Gas Pipe Repair
Leaking natural gas fittings or pipes are a danger to your life and your property. Thrasher Service provides emergency gas pipe repair and replacement services. Call your gas utility provider first, followed by us, and we will help make your home safe again.
Water-Heater Leaks
A leaking water heater can soak floors, damage walls, and quickly become unsafe. We help identify the issue and provide water heater repair or replacement options so you can protect your home from water damage and restore hot water.
Clogged or Overflowing Toilets
Severely clogged and overflowing toilets aren’t just inconvenient—they’re a sanitation issue. We restore proper flow and help prevent repeat backups with our professional equipment (not trial-and-error).
Blocked or Slow Drains
Grease, roots, toys- you name it, we’ve removed it. Our video inspection pinpoints the obstruction so we can clear clogged drains and restore normal flow.
Sump Pump Failures
When Iowa storms hit, a failed sump pump can lead to rapid basement flooding and water damage to your home and personal property. Our local plumbers provide emergency help for sump pump issues and can recommend sump pump repair or replacement options to keep your basement protected.
If water is actively leaking right now (quick steps):
- Shut off the main water valve if you can do so safely
- Turn off the water heater if flooding is near the unit
- Place towels/buckets to limit damage (only if safe)
