Joe Miller Plumbing & Heating is Marion's call for residential and commercial plumbing service across Linn County and the surrounding communities. We're open every day from 7:00 AM to 10:00 PM, same-day service is often available, and you get no-pressure estimates, priced up front, before anything is scheduled. Call for a quote and we'll get your plumbing handled.
Quick to arrive. Careful with your home. Clean when we leave.
We plumb homes and businesses every day, and we're good at it, from a single dripping faucet to a full-scale fixture overhaul across a commercial building. Homeowners, landlords, property managers, and business owners all call us for the same reason: the work gets done right the first time, by licensed plumbers who know what they're looking at.
Our scope covers the full range of everyday plumbing work. Drain cleaning and clog removal. Water heater repair and replacement, both tank and tankless. Toilet and faucet installation. Sewer and main line service. Garbage disposal repair. Water pressure diagnostics. Shutoff valve replacement. Repiping. Code-compliant plumbing is the standard on every job, whether it's a quick repair in a Marion home or a larger installation in a commercial space.
When you call, you get straight answers about your pipes and fixtures, not vague estimates or a list of upsells. We'll handle the pipes so you don't have to.
No matter what's going wrong with your pipes, the fix starts with figuring out exactly what the problem is. We don't guess. We diagnose, explain what we found, and get to work.
A slow drain is easy to ignore until it backs up completely. We clear clogged sinks, toilets, tubs, and floor drains, and when a stubborn blockage won't budge, we bring in hydro jetting to flush the line clean from the inside. Main line cleaning and sewer drain cleaning are part of the same picture. If your home or building is dealing with recurring backups, the problem is usually further down the line than it looks.
Hidden leaks do the most damage because they run longest. We locate water leaks behind walls, under slabs, and along supply lines using camera inspection and other diagnostic methods. Slab leak detection is a common call in older Iowa homes where pipes have been in the ground for decades. Once we find the leak, we repair or replace the affected line and confirm the fix before we leave. Sewer camera inspection is also how we diagnose main line problems before recommending a repair or replacement.
No hot water is one of those problems that demands a same-day answer. We repair and replace both tank and tankless water heaters, and we carry the parts most jobs need. If your unit is aging out or losing efficiency, we'll walk you through your replacement options, including tankless water heater installation, so you can make the call that fits your home and your budget. Clear communication from the first call to the final test is how every water heater job runs.
Call today and we'll get the water back where it belongs.
Your time matters, so we keep the plumbing job moving, whether it's a running toilet, a dripping faucet, or a full bathroom fixture installation. These are the jobs that come up every week, and we handle them without making a production out of it.
A running toilet wastes more water than most people expect. A toilet that won't flush, rocks on the floor, or keeps cycling is a repair that's worth scheduling sooner rather than later. We handle toilet repair, toilet replacement, and new toilet installation for both residential and commercial properties.
Faucet repair and installation covers everything from a leaking kitchen faucet to a full bathroom fixture upgrade. We install shower fixtures, bathtub hardware, and sink assemblies, and we make sure the connections are solid before we call the job done. Garbage disposal installation and repair rounds out the kitchen side of the work.
We pick up the phone and get it handled. If your water pressure is off, a shutoff valve is sticking, or you're not sure what's causing the problem, call us and we'll figure it out. Water pressure diagnostics and shutoff valve replacement are straightforward jobs that make a real difference in how your plumbing performs day to day.
Call and we'll handle the leaks, drains, and fixtures.
Booking a plumbing service call is simple, and knowing what to ask for helps. Marion's four-season climate, mature tree canopy, clay-heavy soils, and variable groundwater hardness create specific plumbing demands that come up again and again in this area. Here's what we see most often.
Iowa's wet springs bring heavy rain and snowmelt, and the water table rises with them. Marion's housing stock leans heavily on basements, and a basement without a working sump pump is a basement waiting to flood. We install sump pumps sized for the job, with proper discharge routing, so your basement stays dry when the season turns. If your existing pump is aging or running constantly, we'll inspect it and tell you honestly whether a repair or a full replacement makes more sense.
Marion's established neighborhoods are full of mature trees, and their roots follow moisture straight into sewer lines. Clay soil makes the problem worse because clay pipes crack and shift over time, giving roots an easy entry point. We clear root intrusion using cutting equipment and sewer camera inspection to see exactly how far the damage runs. Where the line is compromised beyond clearing, we repair or replace the affected section so the problem doesn't come back next season.
Hard water is a real issue across Linn County. Mineral buildup shortens the life of water heaters, clogs fixture aerators, and leaves scale on everything it touches. A whole-house water softener installation protects your pipes, your appliances, and your fixtures from the inside out. We size the system for your household and handle the full installation, including the supply line connections and bypass valve, so it's ready to run from day one.
We'll handle the pipes so you don't have to.
Aging galvanized pipes are one of the most common reasons Marion homeowners deal with persistent low water pressure, discolored water, and recurring leaks. When repairs keep stacking up on the same lines, whole-home repiping is often the more practical answer. We repipe with copper or PEX, depending on what the home needs, and PEX repiping in particular has become the standard for its flexibility and long-term performance in freeze-thaw climates like Iowa's.
Gas line repair is another part of the work we handle. If a gas line is damaged, corroded, or needs to be rerouted for a new appliance connection, we address the line itself. We also install backflow preventers where the supply line requires one. No-pressure estimates, priced up front, apply here just as on any other job: you know the scope and the cost before work begins.
Call us and the rest is handled.
No matter what's going wrong with your pipes, emergencies don't wait for a convenient time. Burst pipes, major leaks, sewer backups, and sudden loss of hot water all need a fast response, and we're open every day from 7:00 AM to 10:00 PM to take those calls.
Same-day appointments are often available for urgent plumbing situations in Marion and across Linn County. When you call, you'll get a clear picture of what to expect: what we'll look at, what the likely fix involves, and what it will cost before we schedule the visit. Emergency drain cleaning, burst pipe repair, emergency leak repair, and emergency water heater repair are all in scope.
Quick to arrive. Careful with your home. Clean when we leave.

In most cases, yes, having someone present makes the visit go more smoothly. The plumber needs access to the problem area and will have questions about what you have noticed. If you cannot be there, call us and we will talk through what arrangements make sense for your situation.
Walk the plumber through what you have noticed: where the water is coming from, which drain is slow, which fixture is acting up, and how long it has been going on. The more detail you can share at the start, the faster the diagnosis goes. If there is more than one issue, mention all of them on the call so we can plan the visit accordingly.
