Permits
Which plumbing jobs skip a permit
Council Bluffs’ administrative code (§ 13.01.301) exempts only two kinds of plumbing work from a permit: stopping leaks in drain, waste or vent pipe, and clearing stoppages or fixing leaks without replacing or rearranging valves, pipes or fixtures. Replacing a defective concealed trap or drain, waste or vent pipe counts as new work that needs a permit and inspection. The city enforces the Uniform Plumbing Code as adopted by the State of Iowa.

Clogged Kitchen Sink
Clogged Bathroom Sinks
Both sinks in the lady's restroom were experiencing severe backups, leading to a frustrating situation. We utilized a snake and a bucket to tackle the issue, accessing the cleanout under the sinks. After running the snake 50 feet and overcoming some tough blockages, we reconnected the cleanout and tested the drains for 10 minutes. They now function perfectly.

We had a drain issue that was flooding our basement and laundry area via floor drain/utility sink, when running the washing machine. From the beginning to end, my experience was wonderful. Calling to schedule was super easy, and though I cannot recall her name at this moment (sorry!!) - the gal who answered and scheduled our service, was nothing short of understanding, kind and responsive to our needs. She was able to get us scheduled within a couple days, which we greatly appreciated. Never fun getting behind on laundry or cleaning up a water mess. Thomas N. was sent out to handle this reoccuring issue and I simply cannot say enough positive things about him! He was fantastic from the first step into our home. He was professional, respectful, extremely informative, and kind. I appreciated his thoughts and recommendations, his attention to detail, the thoroughness, with a great sense of humor to take a little stress off the situation! He treated our home and problem, like his own and took great care in work. He assured me he would figure out what was going on and know how fix it. Which he did!! Of course we hope to not need service in the future, but should that time come, we will definitely be calling A Raymond again! And would be happy if Thomas was our guy again.
