Gene Wagner started this company in 1998 with one truck and a licence, and the first customers were neighbors. That is still the shape of the work in a city like Curlew — you show up, you do it right, and the next call comes from the person next door.
Homes around Curlew, Iowa tend to be older and further apart, which changes the job. Longer water service runs, more private wells, more frozen pipe calls in January. A plumber who only works new construction is out of his depth here.
The parts of the job that are easy to skip and we do not.
This started as two people and a truck in 1998 and grew on water, sewer and drain work. Nearly three decades in one trade, not a franchise name bought off a shelf last year.
Told you need a full repipe or a new sewer line? Get it looked at again. Sometimes it is a smaller fix, and sometimes we confirm the first plumber was right so you can spend with confidence.
Sewer and drain problems get a camera down the line first, and you see the screen. Nobody trenches a yard on a guess when a fifteen minute look will show the break.
Drop cloths go down, cuts get made clean so the patch is easy, and the old tank or fixture leaves with the truck. The room should look better than we found it.
Softeners and filters get sized off a real water test, not a sales script. Hardness, iron and sulfur are three different problems and they need three different answers.
Straight answers to the things people call and ask first.
That is the classic hidden leak — usually a slab leak, an underground service line, or a toilet flapper passing water quietly all night. A Curlew leak detection visit puts a pressure gauge on the system and finds it without digging up the yard first.
We do. If someone has told you the house needs a full repipe or a new sewer line, a Curlew second opinion either finds you a smaller fix or confirms the first diagnosis so you can buy with confidence.
You get a price for the repair before any work starts, not an hourly meter that runs while you watch. The diagnostic visit in Curlew is quoted up front on the phone, and if you approve the repair that visit charge goes toward the job.
Yes. Every Curlew job goes to a licensed, insured plumbing contractor who pulls the permits your municipality requires. Licence numbers are on the invoice and available before the truck rolls.
Yes. Burst pipes, sewage backups and no-water calls in Curlew are answered around the clock. The first thing on the phone is getting your main shutoff closed so the house stops taking damage while a truck is on the way.
Yes, and it starts with an actual water test rather than a guess. Hardness, iron and sulfur all need different equipment, so the Curlew system gets sized off what is really in your water.
Real feedback from real plumbing calls.
"Burst pipe in the crawlspace in January. He had the main off and the section cut out before I finished explaining. Pressure tested it in front of me before he closed it up."
"Well pump quit on a holiday weekend. He got the pressure switch replaced same day and told me the tank had maybe a year left rather than selling me one right then. Called him back for the tank in the spring."
"Tankless unit was throwing an error code every other shower. Descaled it, replaced a sensor, walked me through the yearly flush so I can do it myself."
