When Should I Get New Plumbing Installed?
For the most part, the majority of plumbing systems are built to last up to around 50 years before you even need to consider replacing them, and this is because most homes have plumbing infrastructure built with reliable materials such as brass or cast iron.
Still, although Oak Park Heights generally has fairly modern houses that were constructed in more recent times, there are still plenty of buildings – used for both businesses and homes – that can be considered as relatively historic. Because of this, though, the plumbing systems used in these homes are significantly less robust than the ones you’ll see in modern homes since they were constructed of galvanized steel.
So, although a lot of these older homes are beautiful, they’re painfully at risk of issues like corrosion and rust due to how icey it gets during winter in Oak Park Heights. Having said that, modern homes aren’t necessarily safe, either, as most standardized plumbing systems aren’t built to withstand temperatures way below freezing in the winter and then upwards of 86°F in summer.
Because of this, regardless of how old your plumbing systems are, we’d definitely recommend that you schedule regular maintenance checks with our plumbing experts so we can ensure that you’re not running the risk of pipe bursts or other serious problems.
Chances are, we might only discover that you need our drain cleaning services and nothing more severe, but you’ll be saving yourself potentially thousands of dollars if we spot anything more dangerous that could lead to structural damage to your home.

Why You Might Need Our Plumbing Repair Services: Common Issues
Like most of the cities in Minnesota, your plumbing systems definitely have their work cut out for them in Oak Park Heights – here are some of the more frequent issues our plumbing experts notice while performing maintenance here:
- Hard Water Buildup: Given just how many lakes there are in Minnesota, this isn’t particularly unique to Oak Park Heights, but the town’s proximity to the St. Croix River can definitely lead to hard water issues over time – meaning minerals such as magnesium and calcium can build-up and clog your pipes which reduces water flow.
- Older Infrastructure: As mentioned earlier, a lot of the older plumbing systems in some of the more historic homes in Oak Park Heights are very susceptible to leaks, so these need regular maintenance or even outright replacement in order to prevent any water damage.
- Sump Pump Issues: A lot of the houses based on low-lying areas within Oak Park Heights can be prone to flooding without sump pump systems that keep your basement dry. When these pumps are overwhelmed after the snow from winter melts, they stop working properly and can cause costly damages to your home.
