Plumbing questions, answered for Elk Point

The call we get most in Elk Point is frozen exterior spigots through much of winter. Local housing is mainly suburban houses with their own service lateral and water heater, mixed with some older central-neighborhood homes, so corroded service laterals from road salt and slush turns up often too. We carry the common parts on the truck for a single-visit fix.

First check the basics: on a gas unit, see whether the pilot or burner is lit; on an electric unit, check the breaker and the reset button on the thermostat.

When the pipe is old galvanized steel throughout, we'll walk you through why repiping pays off long term.
