Plumbing & HVAC in Des Moines, IA

Plumbing & HVAC for Des Moines homes — old and new.

Des Moines has its own mix of plumbing problems. Lead service lines still in the ground in older parts of the city. Cast-iron stacks corroding in century-old Sherman Hill homes. Newer East Village builds where the PEX wasn’t pressure-tested right. We handle them all, and we know which is which before we open a wall.

Much of Sherman Hill was built between the 1880s and the end of World War I, and most of Beaverdale’s subdivisions went up between the 1920s and 1940s. In homes that age we often find cast-iron drain stacks, galvanized supply lines and decades of patchwork repairs layered on top of each other. We inspect before we quote, so you know whether a repair will hold or whether re-piping a section is the better spend.

Des Moines Water Works has a lead service line replacement program underway. If you’re not sure what your service line is made of, we can check it where it enters the house and walk you through your options.

On the HVAC side, many older Des Moines homes run furnaces and AC units that were added or swapped piecemeal over the years. We size new equipment to the house as it stands today, not just to the old nameplate.
