Plumbing company: New London, IA

New London is home turf for our crew — the whole city and the surrounding Henry County. Henry County is part of Iowa. The setting is Iowa's continental-climate region, and every job gets specced for it. 78% of the housing stock predates 1980, which means original galvanized pipe and water heaters past their service life are routine finds — every fix is sized to the system in front of us. A fully-stocked truck, a flat written rate, and a 10-year workmanship guarantee come standard on every visit.

What shapes plumbing in New London is Iowa's continental-climate region — a humid continental climate — hot, humid summers and cold, snowy winters, with sharp freeze-thaw swings between seasons. For a home's plumbing that means contending with freeze-thaw cycles that crack pipe and split fittings, deep winter cold that freezes exposed and uninsulated supply lines, and summer heat and humidity that strain water heaters and sweat pipes — so we spec corrosion- and freeze-rated pipe, fittings, and equipment to match the local climate.

The plumbing failures we see most in New London homes are frozen exterior spigots and hose bibs, failing water heaters strained by cold inlet water, and corroded service lines from road salt and groundwater. There's a reason: 144 days below freezing a year freeze and split supply lines and outdoor spigots, 38 inches of snow and a long frost season keep buried lines cold enough to crack at the joints, 78% of local homes predate 1980 (median build year 1960), so many still run original galvanized steel or polybutylene pipe and fixtures well past their service life, and 75% are detached houses with their own service lateral, water heater, and outdoor spigots to maintain. Our New London trucks stock parts for exactly that wear, so the fix usually lands in one visit.

Henry County is part of Iowa. Our coverage spans New London and the rest of Henry County, all to one standard: quick dispatch, written flat-rate pricing, and a 10-year workmanship guarantee.

By NOAA's 1991–2020 normals, a typical Iowa year brings 38 inches of snow and 144 days below freezing — numbers we build into how New London plumbing gets sized, insulated, and protected.

Census data puts 78% of New London homes at pre-1980 construction (median build year 1960). Systems that age are usually past their service life — galvanized or polybutylene supply pipe, corroded fittings, tired water heaters — so we plan for age-related wear, not just the reported fault. With 50% built before 1960, many New London homes also carry cast-iron drain stacks and lead or galvanized supply lines, which we keep repair parts on the truck for. 75% of New London homes are detached single-family houses (median value ~$121k) — the housing type most likely to have its own water heater, service lateral, and outdoor spigots to maintain.

A New London home in Iowa's continental-climate region stays out of the repair queue with a few habits: insulate exposed supply lines and disconnect garden hoses before winter — 144 freezing days a year can freeze and split unprotected pipe; keep outdoor spigots and any exposed pipe runs clear of snow and ice so they can't freeze solid (38 inches fall here in a normal year); if your home is among the 78% built before 1980 (median build year 1960), book a whole-home plumbing inspection — original galvanized pipe and old water heaters are usually near the end of their life; and run an annual water heater flush and shut-off-valve check on a detached home with its own service lateral.

Our routes run from New London out to Mount Pleasant, Mediapolis, West Burlington, and Winfield — same crews, same flat-rate pricing, across Henry County. By ZIP, coverage spans 52645.
