Expert Drain Cleaning in Iowa City, IA

Billy came within a few hours of my phone call and resolved the clogged drain quickly. Appreciated the efficiency and the low cost of service! He also handed me a handy tip sheet for how to avoid further clogs.

Had an emergency kitchen sink, Garbage disposal, dishwasher drain clog(Meat). Quick service. Friendly. Very fair price. Checked inside and Out for leaks. Billy was great! Saved my weekend. Highly recommend!

I’m a little conflicted about how to rate. The initial problem is fixed but he created a new problem by not reattaching a drain pipe properly on my clothes washer…. I ran the washer unknowingly and all the water poured onto the floor in areas where there was never water. I’m lucky I didn’t have anything in that area and the washer was not damaged, but I could’ve had important stuff there? It was very easy to put the pipe into the other pipe, so I’m sure it was an honest mistake but kind of unacceptable because of the damage it could’ve caused. With regards to the actual service, I called them and someone came within a few hours and he worked hard to get all the roots out of my main line. He was not forthcoming with info but was very knowledgeable at answering my questions when I asked. The basement was left with some dirt/sludge splattered around the access point and dirty water dripped up the stairs/landing as he took the machine out. But I think maybe that’s standard? It’s dirty work and I’d rather clean up myself then pay for more hours. I’d also rather have the clog cleared than keep it clean 😂

Brian, Austin and Anthony did a fabulous job identifying and fixing a drainage problem in our home. Brian came out at 9:30 pm and stayed till 11:30 pm to make sure we were OK for the night. A major repair was needed and scheduled right away for us. Brian did a great job calming our nerves in such a stressful time. Turns out our 40 year old cast iron pipe had decayed and collapsed causing everything to back up into the house. Austin and Anthony did the repair efficiently and with much care to our property. The entire team was knowledgeable, hard working and professional. I highly recommend their services.

Zach and Max showed up on time and quickly identified a clog in my branch line and floor drain. They explained the root cause and resolved the clog efficiently. They explained the quote options without being pushy, then executed the work and provided video footage of the results, giving me confidence in their service. I'd recommend them.

Josh (the owner) personally came out and fixed a complex main valve/curb stop issue that other local shops refused to touch. He saved us from a massive excavation and did an AMAZING job. If you have a 1920s home, this is the only shop you should call! See before / after photos. New main value and secondary valve, removed and repalced rusty galvanized pipe.

We are and were always happy with the quality of work over the years BeaDay did for us. Be sure to ask for an estimate, though. We were shocked by the bill we received after their last work in our home.

Worth the wait! Bea Day replaced our shower and were so incredibly kind and professional throughout the whole process. They gave us a very fair quote and were efficient and polite when it came time to do the actual work. We had to wait a few months until they could do the work, because they are so in demand, but it was well worth it. I highly recommend their team.

If I could give 0 stars I would. I had just gone through a year long fiasco getting a leak fixed and getting all of the repairs made at a house my daughter rents from my mother. The subcontractor had finally finished the vinyl floor and suggested I have a plumber inspect behind the fridge to make sure everything is fine so it wouldn't happen again. I made this clear to the person who scheduled the appointment and to whoever answered my inquiry online. I few days after the plumber left, I was made aware and was sent pictures that the floor had indents from when the fridge was pulled out. I called to let the plumbing office know. Immediately Michelle became defensive and argumentative. I offered to send her the pictures to which she said I could send them, but they wouldn't do anything about it since I didn't have proof. She made a comment about having pictures from the subcontractor which I said I could probably do since he had them. I got those and sent those to her, too, along with a text from the subcontractor saying the plumber should have known vinyl can be damaged and should have used a dolly.The next morning I receive an email back from Michelle telling me they aren't responsible for anything. We should have cleaned out the fridge to make it less heavy and refrigerators have wheels so they can be moved out (with many spelling and grammar mistakes may I add=not professional at all!). She also told me the plumber pulled the fridge out for less than 5 minutes. How do you do an inspection in less than 5 minutes and how does she know? Was she there? Stay far away from a shady company with a rude office manager who thinks blaming customers is good customer service! Oh my favorite part was when she ends the email with take care and stay healthy. ;)

My 75-yr-old mom needed a pressure relief valve replaced on her water heater. The service call went well and the plumber was very polite. She asked for a ballpark estimate and the plumber said he had no idea what it would cost despite it being a simple and common repair. A few days later my mom contacted me stating she received a bill for $400. The labor was $90 which is normal but the pressure relief valve was priced at $302. I had the same work done two years ago and the valve cost $30-40 with labor at $90 totaling $120. I called on a Monday and spoke with a polite woman that said she would have to speak with the plumber who did the install and she would try to get back to me within a couple of days. After two days and no response I called back and spoke with a polite man who said I would have to talk to the woman I talked to on Monday. I told him I already spoke with her and explained my concern about the cost of the valve. He said it didn't seem correct and he promised someone would contact me by the end of day. Didn't happen. I made a 3rd call the following morning and spoke with the same woman and she quickly made the correction to $44 for the valve. She said the plumber needed to be more specific on the write-up. I politely asked her if pressure relief valves ever cost $300 and she said yes, if they were for a boiler. The invoice clearly states it was for a water heater. I'll leave it up to the reader to determine if it was simply poor communication that resulted in a gross overcharge or if it was questionable conduct in an attempt to take advantage of an elderly lady.

I had been a customer of Nelson's. I had an emergency Saturday and called their emergency number and no one called me back. I texted and called and never heard from them. I was able to get someone else to help me and avoided a disaster. An hour later, after I had gotten help elsewhere, I texted Nelson's and told them they didn't need to contact me. They should not advertise 24 hour emergency service if they do not provide it. I won't do business with them again.

I called at 8:00 for a tub drain issue, and was able to get scheduled for an appointment the same day (two hours later)! Kim, the scheduler was very friendly and accommodating, giving me all the information I needed and answering my questions. My service technician, Hugh, was fantastic! I wanted to be an observer for the repair process, and he answered my many questions regarding various plumbing components in my home, many of which were unrelated to the issue I called about. I was able to add additional plumbing concerns for quick repairs on the spot, and Hugh was flexible with rolling with these additional fixes as part of the appointment. He always came back from the Ackerman van with a fix in hand! You get what you pay for - quality service and experience. Thank you, Hugh, for letting me be a part of the process! Happy customer, and I learned a lot!

Hugh was outstanding. He was efficient, knowledgeable, and clearly very experienced. He quickly fixed the plumbing issue and took the time to thoroughly check the system to make sure everything was safe and functioning properly. His attention to detail and professionalism gave me real peace of mind. I would absolutely recommend him and would not hesitate to call Ackerman plumbing again.

Very happy to have been helped by Ackerman. We are new in town, saw that they were highly recommended, and called when we had a semi-urgent issue come up. They were able to see us and replace the water heater within a couple of hours of me calling. Thank you!

Pat did a great job, was fast, responsive, and got along well with our dogs :). For the work done, his price was reasonable. Would hire him again in an instant!

Pat did an amazing job. Fair price, great work, and excellent service. I wouldn't hire anyone else.

Pat is responsive, punctual, & expert in his plumbing skills & knowledge. A very professional & friendly gentleman. It only took him an hour to perform the work & he said payment was not due until he sent us an invoice by USPS.
