Expert Drain Cleaning in Ames, IA

Big shoutout to Drain Tech - the only plumbing company I truly trust. Will and Kaden removed my old dishwasher, installed the new one, and even cut and replaced a leaking main waterline pipe that I thought was just water from my sump pump. They were professional, personable, and efficient. When you call for service, you will probably speak with Linda. She is always friendly and helpful. Honest, fair, and top-notch service every time.

I've had them out for a clogged kitchen sink, a clogged toilet and a toilet replacement. Been happy each and every time. They keep you in the loop if they're running even 5 minutes late. Would highly recommend.

We had back up in our sewer line and we were recommended by a friend as they do not come up when searching like most companies... We will be calling them from now on! They were in and out in less than an hour and the prices can't be beat. We had 2 gentlemen show up and get right to work. They snaked the drain 4 or 5 times and problem solved! I would recommend this company to anyone. I would also like to add that Kenyon and Patrick deserve a raise! They were very friendly and knowledgeable. The way they explained everything made it easy to understand.

These two men went above and beyond to tackle the issue with the sewer drain and septic system issue. Christian McCasland and Cameron Boynton many hours spent here working hard to fix the issues.The two men were very excellent customer service,experienced,explained everything they were doing and what had to be done. They had to leave and go back to get more equipment to fix our sewer drain and septic system. Excellent couple of men and 100% satisfied with their services and price very reasonable for the amount of hours at the homes doing the inspection and work. Should give them a call 24 hours service from the professionals. Thanks for amazing job. Ames,Iowa store.

Zach was awesome fixed my sewer main clog and snaked my secondary floor drain. Quick and thorough job and very respectful! Will definitely be my first call next time if needed!

Technician Zach was at our house within 30 minutes of call to the office. Cleared drain line from house to street. Clean, efficient, and friendly to work with. Explained what he was doing and cleaned up well after himself. Could not have asked for better or more prompt service.

We currently have a large scale restoration project going on in our building and ran into an issue of a cast iron sewer pipe being cracked. The best option was vertical pipe lining, which not very many places do. Was referred to Behle in Ames and they confirmed they could do this and were very knowledgeable. They came quickly to give us a quote, which was fair, and they also came quickly to repair the pipe. They next day actually!! We really appreciated the quickness because our project was pretty much at a standstill until the pipe could be repaired. Highly recommend them

I had Rich, Justin and Robby out to pump a septic tank and jet a main line that had a blockage that turned out to be tree roots. All of the guys were very knowledgeable, professional and just great to work with. They went above and beyond my expectations! I will definitely call Behle for future needs so I can work with these guys again!

The alarm started going off on our septic system so I immediately called to have someone come out. Yes, it was after hours and yes it was a weekend and I was fully prepared to pay that after hour fee. I was not however prepared to pay a $500.00 bill for 1 hour of labor nor was I prepared to be billed for “their standard” 2 hour minimum labor rate. Apparently this should’ve been disclosed on the phone during the initial call and it was not. Had I known that, I would definitely had called another company. I called the office the next business morning and asked them to review the bill with me that I had already paid at the time the services were completed. She stated that the 2 hours of labor was charged correctly, that was standard/minimum and that I should’ve been told that on the phone before they came out and was not. I was also charged 2 hours of after hours call which she stated should’ve been 1 hour charged, she did refund me 1 hour at $100.00 however she noticed that I was not charged a trip charge so proceeded to subtract that from the $100.00 overpayment which left $74.xx to be refunded to me. A job that took 1 hour and their cost of a hose clamp to reattach the pump to the pipe well exceeded what I had expected to pay. Not to mention, he wanted to put a rubber boot on it but he didn’t have one on hand so I’m not convinced this hose clamp will be a very long fix before it breaks again. In the future, I will seek business elsewhere. If they would have been transparent up front, it would’ve been different. If they had approached me with a better resolution in the end, my rating and review would be different. I was severely overcharged and then to add another cost to my already paid bill, was another kick in the stomach. I felt they should’ve ate that cost since it wasn’t charged on my original invoice.

Ben Franklin of Ames is fantastic. I've used them twice now, once to replace a hot water heater and once to remove blockage in my drain pipes. The team here is very kind, courteous, knowledgeable and thorough. The have done an excellent job. I appreciate their priority to take the extra time to ensure things are done right! Would highly recommend them to anyone!

Nolan is a very knowledgeable and skilled technician. He explain everything to me ( I am 70 years old with limited plumbing knowledge) and he did not leave until he was assured my new water heater was working perfectly. I enjoyed chatting with him as well. Probably the best experience I’ve had with an “emergency “ situation. I was impressed that he was able to arrive hours after my call and within a couple hours I had a brand new water heater. Cost was reasonable. This is the second time I have had a plumbing disaster and Ben Franklin Plumbing rescued me within hours.

I have used Ben Franklin for as long as the company has been in Ames. When I had a major repair a few years ago- installing new water service - Chris was part of the team. He made what might have been a bad experience into one that was as pleasant and efficient as it could have been. I have asked for him to be "my plumber" ever since. He is skilled, efficient, and unfailingly positive. Yesterday he installed a new sink and faucet in my new home, and gave me good advice on dealing with fixtures in the house I'll need to maintain. He's terrific!

Had a septic pump and problems over a weekend. They said they would take care of us. We had to get tanks pumped first, but let Clouser know when tanks were pumped and they were out here within a couple of hours. They coordinated back and forth with the electricians and got us taken care of. They have handled water heater issues in the past for us. Very prompt, courteous, and get the job done. We VERY much appreciate them.

Top notch service, I called at 8:07 am for a bad clog. They were at my house by 8:30am and gone by 9:05!! Very professional , knowledgeable, and friendly. Would definitely recommend

Exceptional customer service, communication, and professionalism. I always appreciate workers who are willing to walk me through what needs to happen while doing excellent work. Called them out for an outdoor faucet repair. Between it's location & weather we had a bit of a rain delay, but he let me know they were watching the radar for it to clear. They called with the GPS time from my place and were there at the estimated time. Very professional and kind. We had been looking for our "go to" call for plumbing and we have found them! I didn't feel like I wasted all day on a long window wait time. The work was done quickly, cleanly, and correctly. He even gave me some tips for making sure things got properly dried out. Absolutely the first call we will make from now on.

This is a great business! I had a troublesome drain clog in my basement that I couldn't get rid of with store bought products. When I called for a quote, the lady who I spoke to was very nice and personable. She was happy to answer all my questions. I called back later to set up the appointment and spoke with the same woman who was happy to schedule my job as soon as they could. When the plumber came, he was very nice and considerate enough not to wear his muddy boots onto my carpet! The clog turned out to be in the wall, and the plumber let me make a call to see if it was okay with my husband to cut into the wall. When he did cut the wall, he was very careful not to damage it very much, so it was less noticeable when he put the panel back. Once we got access to the pipe through the wall, it was a quick fix, and the plumber found a way to hook the pipe back together a bit cheaper than he originally expected, so that was awesome. The experience with Speck Plumbing was great, and I'll definitely go back if I need a plumber in the future!

I just had the best experience with an amazing plumbing company in town! They swapped out my hot water heater and bathtub, and now they’re helping me with another project.Ylonda at the front desk is always so friendly and professional, which makes everything easier. Mark and his team are super knowledgeable and really reliable. I love that they’re honest and upfront, they work so efficiently; it’s like they know how to make the most of every minute. I can't recommend them enough!

Mark and his staff installed a utility sink in our home they did quick, concise work. They went out of their way to be as quiet as they could be due to a person with noise sensitivity in the home. They were polite and personable in all of their interactions - HIGHLY RECCOMENDED!!

Rerouted our plumbing for a 1/2 bath and washer/dryer stack remodel that required very specific locations. Nate and his guys did the work quickly for a very reasonable price with minimal patch work required. Several months out and no leaks. Accurate quote before work started. Added stud guards to both sides of the wall which undoubtedly saved the cabinet installer from flooding my home. Highly recommended.

We have used Watson Plumbing for almost 10 years and will continue to use their services for many more. They are reliable, trustworthy, knowledgeable, and consistently do quality work. My husband and I are thankful for their continued service for all of our plumbing needs.

Kevin has been our loyal plumbing go to for over 30 years, he has been and continues to help us keep all of our appliance in great working condition. Take a break now and then Kevin, glad you are well, and doing okay, stay warm. Craig & Peggy

KO is a great plumbing outfit! I Have working with Jeremiah for over 15 year as a plumber. KO Plumbing is a company you can trust. Jeremiah is dependable, responsive, and takes real pride in the quality of his work. He communicates clearly, shows up when he says he will, and makes sure the job is done right. It’s rare to find that level of professionalism and consistency. Highly recommend KO Plumbing for anyone looking for honest, reliable service. They can do big and small projects, they are always fast and do a great job!!! Here are some photos from a recent project

My wife and I've really enjoyed working with this team. We've had two different situations where we needed plumbing over the weekend. On both occurrences, they were able to get someone to us within an hour and were able to address our issues. They're professional and helpful, and we'll continue to use them in the future.

Extremely impressed! The guys were quick to respond, very efficient and got our hot water working again. We live in an older house and that alone causes it's own problems, Jeremiah didn't give up until he got our problem fixed. I highly recommend reaching out for all your plumbing needs!

Friendly, prompt service and solved our problem for a reasonable price.
