Four Decades of Local Experience. Since 1986, we've been showing up for homeowners throughout Central Iowa, learning the realities of older homes and local water systems, and building a reputation one job at a time.
Award-Winning Service. We've been recognized by Angie's List for outstanding service five times. You can also read through hundreds of reviews from satisfied customers and see for yourself.
Respectful & Tidy. We plan around the fact that you're living in your home during the work. Our plumbers protect your floors and work areas from the moment they arrive and make sure everything looks right before they leave.
Clear, Upfront Pricing. After reviewing the work, we give you a single straightforward price before anything begins. No hourly guesswork, no surprises on the bill.
Options Tailored to Your Situation. Every home and budget is different. When there are multiple ways to approach a problem, we walk you through them honestly so you can choose what makes the most sense for you.
The People Behind the Work
Master Plumbing, Heating & Cooling is veteran-owned and operated, and that shapes everything from how we train our team to how we treat the people we work for. Every plumber we send to your home is fully qualified, extensively trained, and held to a high standard of workmanship. We're fully insured, so you have that protection on every job, and we back our work with a satisfaction guarantee and warranties because we want you to feel confident long after we've packed up and left.
When you call Master Plumbing, Heating & Cooling, you're not getting whoever happens to be available. You're getting a skilled professional who takes the work seriously and understands that your home deserves to be treated with care.
Flexible Options to Help You Move Forward
Plumbing problems rarely arrive at a convenient time, financially or otherwise. Master Plumbing, Heating & Cooling offers flexible payment plans and financing options so you can take care of what needs to be done without putting everything on hold.
We also regularly offer coupons and specials on our services. When you call, just ask us what's currently available and we'll make sure you're not leaving any savings on the table.
We Understand What Local Plumbing Requires
Van Horne sits in the heart of Benton County, and the homes here reflect that. Older builds, private wells, and infrastructure that has been around for decades require experienced hands, not a technician working from a generic checklist.
At Master Plumbing, Heating & Cooling, we've worked throughout Central Iowa long enough to know what rural plumbing actually involves. Whether it's aging supply lines, a sump pump struggling to keep up with spring thaw, or a water quality issue that a filtration system can address, we come prepared and we give you real answers.
Ready to Get It Sorted?
Plumbing issues tend to grow when they're left alone. A small leak becomes water damage. A slow drain becomes a full blockage. Getting ahead of the problem is almost always easier and less costly than waiting.
Master Plumbing, Heating & Cooling makes it simple to get started. Same-day service is available for qualifying calls, emergency service is available 7 days a week, and our upfront pricing means you'll always know the cost before we begin!

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to be home all day waiting for a technician?
No. Before your technician heads out, you'll get a call letting you know they're on the way so you can plan your time accordingly. You won't be left guessing at a four-hour window.
Is there a fee to have someone come out and take a look?
There is a diagnostic fee to get a technician to your home. That said, you'll be given a full quote before any work begins, so you decide whether to move forward. You're not committing to anything beyond the initial visit until you've seen the numbers and agreed to them.
What if I'm not sure whether to repair or replace?
The honest answer is that it depends on the age and condition of the equipment. A technician who finds, for example, that a water heater is over 20 years old and showing signs of sediment buildup will tell you that plainly and explain your options, including costs. The goal is to give you enough information to make a sound decision, not to push you toward the more expensive one.
Will the price change once the work is underway?
No. The price you're quoted before work begins is the price you pay. There's no additional billing added on after the fact.
What does a routine plumbing inspection actually cover?
A thorough inspection covers the key components of your plumbing system: fixtures, drains, water heater condition, visible supply lines, and anything else that might be heading toward a problem. If a technician spots something minor that can be addressed on the spot, such as a worn flapper or a slow drain, they'll often take care of it during the same visit.
What if something comes up after the job is done?
If an issue surfaces after we've completed the work, call us. We stand behind what we do and we'll make it right.
Can provide service on the same-day?
It's realistic for many calls. A same-morning call, for instance, can often result in a same-day installation. That said, availability depends on the nature of the job and the schedule on any given day. Calling early gives you the best chance of getting seen quickly.

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.
Would definitely recommend him and Master Plumbing.
“John came out to do my annual plumbing inspection; caught and fixed a few things (had pictures of discrepancies), cleaned out my tankless hot water heater at no charge.”
Eric F.
Very personable and I highly recommend him for any plumbing needs you may have.
“Great experience with John. He is very knowledgeable and gets the work completed in a timely manner. He discussed everything he would be doing beforehand and told us the cost. When he was done, there was no up charging. The cost was exactly what he said it would be.”
Elizabeth D.
I would definitely call them again!
“Had John & Henry from Master Plumbing & Heating here, say before Thanksgiving to replace my water heater. They did a fantastic job and had it installed and running in 4-5 hrs. Both were very professional and cleaned up after themselves, as well as took the bad heater with them.”
Karen R.
I felt every detail was taken care of when they went out the door.
“Matt and Sean came to do my fall furnace check this afternoon and I want to say I was very pleased. They checked the airflow that I never had done before, cleaned the drain that was covered with corrosion materials, and replaced the humidifier filter with a fresh one I had. I felt every detail was taken care of when they went out the door.”
