What Does Plumbing Maintenance Include?
A plumbing maintenance check typically includes:
- Testing water pressure
- Inspecting drains for blockages and buildup
- Checking pipes, faucets, and fixtures for leaks or corrosion
- Inspecting water heater tanks, valves, and heating elements
- Assessing insulation to prevent freezing during the winter months
- Confirming shut-off valves work properly for emergencies or repairs
- Checking for tree root intrusion, blockages, or collapse in main sewer lines
Our experts provide ongoing guidance and preventive care to keep your plumbing in top shape. We recommend scheduling annual maintenance to protect the integrity and longevity of your plumbing infrastructure.
Can I Handle Plumbing Problems Myself?
While it may be tempting to fix a plumbing issue yourself, DIY plumbing can lead to bigger headaches. Even small mistakes can cause major leaks, pipe damage, and water loss that require expensive repairs. Our certified professionals are fully trained and equipped to accurately diagnose issues, complete safe repairs, and maintain compliance with local codes and regulations.
What Are Common Plumbing Problems in Older Homes?
Older homes often face unique plumbing challenges due to aging pipes and outdated materials. Some of the most common issues include:
- Leaky or corroded pipes. Galvanized steel, lead, and polybutylene are outdated materials that are more prone to rust, leaks, and health hazards.
- Low water pressure. Mineral buildup and narrow pipe diameters can restrict water flow throughout older homes.
- Clogged or slow drains. Decades of hair, soap, and mineral deposits can accumulate in pipes, causing blockages or backups.
- Outdated fixtures and valves. Old faucets, showerheads, and shut-off valves can fail or leak, wasting water and increasing bills.
- Sewer line problems. Tree root intrusion, collapsed pipes, and sediment buildup can contribute to costly repairs and backups.
- Water heater inefficiency. Older water heaters may develop leaks or struggle to maintain consistent temperatures due to rust and corrosion.
Our plumbers are familiar with these challenges to help identify problem areas and perform targeted repairs or upgrades, from replacing aging pipes to installing modern fixtures and water heaters.
Can a Plumbing Upgrade Lower My Energy Bills?
Absolutely. Plumbing upgrades can improve efficiency, reduce mineral buildup in pipes, and help water-using appliances like dishwashers and washing machines operate more effectively. Even small improvements can make a noticeable difference in performance and utility costs. We can assess your current setup, identify opportunities for upgrades or repairs, and install modern fixtures or pipes to help your plumbing run more efficiently.
What Causes Low Water Pressure?
Low water pressure can occur for a variety of reasons, such as corroded pipes, leaks in the system, faulty valves or fixtures, or scale buildup. Our plumbers use advanced diagnostics to pinpoint the root cause and restore proper pressure without causing further damage. Whether it’s repairing pipes, replacing fixtures, or optimizing your system for long-term performance, we can recommend tailored solutions to keep water flowing consistently throughout your property.
Don’t let a plumbing problem ruin your day. Our local pros are just a call away to restore your comfort. Call (319) 758-6237 to schedule a service.

We'll definitely be using Master Plumbing going forward.
“ohn from Master Plumbing installed a new water heater for us last week. He was prompt and thoroughly explained all of our options in the quote. It was nice having the same person doing the quote and installation. He installed it the same day. We were so pleased, we had him return to fix some previous issues with water temperature and pressure. He fixed it in no time at all and was cognizant to keep the price as reasonable as possible.”Chad G. -
My entire experience with Master Heating, Plumbing, and Cooling was a 10 out of 10.
“Bill M was my service tech, I don’t know if he was a plumber but he certainly installed my sump pump with absolutely no problem. He explained to me in the beginning that my sump pump “could fail” but did not try and pressure sales me into anything. What he said made me comfortable in his knowledge and I trust him. I did not get the idea that he was just trying to make the company money by upselling to me either. So exceptional work from Bill M. I’d also like to say I had a couple interactions with the office staff as well. Taylor and Allie are top notch as well. My entire experience with Master Heating, Plumbing, and Cooling was a 10 out of 10. I will continue to use them in all my heating, plumbing and cooling issues that arise.”Michael S. -
I would 100% recommend Master Plumbing Heating and Cooling
“I called in the AM regarding our central air not working and spoke with Taylor who was so friendly and let me know they had an appointment in the afternoon. Maddie then kept in contact with me as to when Madison & Jordan would arrive. Madison and Jordan were very friendly and got to work right away and had the unit working quickly. Everything went smoothly and I cant say enough about every person I was in contact with. Such a great experience! Thank you all so much!”Denise E.
