Grimes climate
by the numbers
Grimes's unique plumbing challenges
About 137 nights a year below freezing, when uninsulated crawlspace lines give out
The oldest blocks in town run plumbing decades older than the newer builds toward Windsor Heights
First frost typically lands around October 19
Seasonal timing
Grimes' median first frost lands around October 19, the same date nearby Windsor Heights sees. Newer subdivisions here often have irrigation backflow assemblies that need shutting down well before that first hard freeze arrives.
Common questions
It depends on the job and how bad the problem is. That is why the first step is a phone call. Describe the problem and get your free estimate on the phone, with upfront pricing.
Yes, you will.
No forms and no waiting on emailed quotes. One phone call is all it takes.
We have plumbers ready to help families in the community 24/7, but moment-to-moment availability depends on demand. Call to find out how soon we can service your home.
You already know that plumbing problems don't go away on their own. And waiting just increases the risks to your house. Plumbers see this hesitation all the time. Instead of regretting not calling earlier, just make that 2-minute call now and get your free estimate.
People also ask
Yes, in general, since most of the housing stock is recent enough to have started with PEX rather than needing a later re-pipe, unlike the older sections common in Urbandale next door.
About the same as nearby Windsor Heights: roughly 137 nights below freezing and 12 below zero most years, regardless of how new the neighborhood is.
Before the first hard freeze settles in for good. Waiting too long risks a frozen assembly that cracks open once the ground thaws in spring.
Rarely inside Grimes proper, where municipal water serves nearly every new subdivision, though a handful of older rural parcels toward Granger still use a private well.
