It’s generally quite hard to accept how cold Lake Elmo can get during the winter since the summers are so gorgeous, but while looking over at Lake Phalen completely frozen over is stunning, what’s not so attractive is frozen pipes and issues with your plumbing system.

You might only need a leaky tap fixed, but sometimes the cold weather might cause problems that actually necessitate an entire system remodeling – either way, our professional plumbing services at Hurlburt have been fixing issues like this and everything in between for 65+ years in Lake Elmo, so regardless of how severe your problem is, just give us a call at (715) 283-4422 and one of our local experts can come over handle it.

When Should I Get New Plumbing Installed?

The majority of plumbing systems can typically last up to 50 years before you need to think about replacing them, but if you own one of the many historic houses in Lake Elmo that has pipes made of materials like galvanized steel or even clay, you’re at a far higher risk of them bursting since they’re way less durable than modern materials – brass or cast iron, for instance, which are typically the norm nowadays.

This is because they’re more prone to issues like corrosion or rust, but even modern plumbing systems made of more durable materials aren’t safe since it gets so icey during winter in Lake Elmo.

Because of this, Lake Elmo, and Minnesota in general for that matter, generally experience plumbing issues that you’ll see far less commonly in states that don’t have such extreme climate changes – like Texas or Florida, for example – so we’d recommend scheduling regular maintenance check-ups to give yourself peace of mind knowing that your pipes aren’t on the verge of bursting and requiring an entirely new plumbing system to be fitted.

Chances are, you might only need some simple fix like our drain cleaning services, but if it does happen to be something a lot more precarious, one of our HVAC and plumbing experts will be able to spot it and prevent it from developing into a much more expensive and messy problem.
