Have questions about plumbing in Ames? We have answers.
To prevent frozen pipes in Ames, insulate exposed pipes in unheated areas like garages, crawl spaces, and attics. Keep cabinet doors under sinks open during cold snaps. Let faucets drip slightly during freezing temperatures. If a pipe does freeze, call Phoenician Plumbing immediately rather than attempting to thaw it yourself to avoid a burst.
Simple repairs like faucet replacement, toilet repair, or drain clearing in Ames often take 1 to 2 hours. More complex jobs like slab leak repair, water line replacement, or water heater installation typically take a half to a full day. Whole-home repiping can take 2 to 4 days. Phoenician Plumbing provides a clear time estimate before starting any job.
Your main water shutoff valve in Ames is typically located near the water meter, near the front foundation, or in the basement or utility room. Turn the valve clockwise to close it. If you cannot find your shutoff or it is stuck, call Phoenician Plumbing immediately — our emergency crew can help locate and operate the valve to stop water damage.
Most Ames homeowners benefit from professional drain cleaning every 1 to 2 years as preventive maintenance. Homes with large families, frequent cooking, or older plumbing may need service more often. Tree roots, grease buildup, and hair are the most common causes of drain problems in Ames. Phoenician Plumbing uses hydro-jetting and snaking to thoroughly clear all drain types.
Chemical drain cleaners can damage older pipes in Ames homes, especially PVC, brass, or aging galvanized plumbing. The caustic chemicals can eat through pipe walls over time and are hazardous if they splash on skin or eyes. A professional drain cleaning by Phoenician Plumbing is safer, more effective, and prevents pipe damage — costing less in the long run.
In Ames, homeowners insurance typically covers sudden and accidental plumbing damage such as a burst pipe flooding your home. The cost of repairing the pipe itself may not be covered, but the resulting water damage often is. Gradual leaks and corrosion from neglected maintenance are usually excluded. Call (855) 764-0636 if you need documentation for a claim.

"My whole-house repiping project was done in two days with minimal disruption. The crew patched all the drywall access points neatly. Running water with great pressure in every room now. Worth every penny."
"Called for what I thought was a simple leak detection and they found two separate issues — one behind the wall and one under the slab. Fixed both in the same visit. Professional and thorough throughout."
"They did a great job on short notice. The plumber came out even earlier than expected and spent the entire day fixing the original problems, laying new pipes, and then fixing new leaks when the water was turned on. I wish more companies had this work ethic and attention to detail."
