The pro near Urbandale.

IA

For the leak, the no-heat morning, the roof that started dripping at 9pm: call (877) 454-8068. The desk is open 7am–10pm ET, every day. Tell us what is happening and where.

Hail is the headline risk in Urbandale, and Iowa weather does not care much about the age of a house. The median build year is 1992, with about a third of homes older than 1980, so the city leans newer without being new. A storm that dents siding on one block can leave the next one untouched. Hard freezes test exterior plumbing, and many homes have basements where water shows up after a fast thaw. Nearly eight in ten homes are owner-occupied, so upkeep tends to be planned rather than patched.

What that means for a call

The median home in Urbandale dates to 1992, and about 34% of the stock predates 1980. The bigger local pressure is the freeze: exterior walls, unheated crawlspaces, and hose bibs are the first places a pipe gives way. Know where the main shutoff is before the temperature drops.

Local watch-outs

  • Know where the main water shutoff is before a pipe freezes. During a deep freeze, open the cabinet doors under sinks on exterior walls and let a faucet trickle.
  • After hail, check the roof, gutters, and skylights from the ground before climbing up. Note the date and take photos before anything is repaired.
  • Check the basement or crawlspace after heavy rain. Most seepage starts at a wall joint, a window well, or a downspout that dumps too close to the foundation.
  • Hard water shortens the life of water heaters, faucets, and shower valves. Regular descaling or a softener can reduce the scale, but it will not fix a failed part.
