Plumbing questions, answered for Eagle Lake

Eagle Lake sits in Wisconsin's cold northern climate — a cold northern climate of long, snowy winters, deep sub-freezing cold, and short, warm summers. That's hard on a home's plumbing: deep sub-freezing cold that freezes and bursts supply lines and a long frost season that keeps buried pipe cold enough to crack all accelerate wear on pipes, fittings, and water heaters, so the failures we see most here are water heaters overworked by frigid inlet water and sump pumps overrun by seasonal snowmelt. We spec pipe, fittings, and fixtures for local conditions, not a generic catalog spec.

The call we get most in Eagle Lake is water heaters overworked by frigid inlet water.
