Emergency plumbing services
Plumbing disasters don’t take vacations. While we hope a plumbing emergency never happens to you, know that we will be there to fix the problem if you need us. We have technicians on call 24/7 in the River Falls area. The faster we address a plumbing emergency, the better the outcome.
In the event of a plumbing emergency, we recommend you know where all the important water shutoffs are in your home. We will be there as quickly as we can but it still takes some time for our techs to get in the truck and drive to your home.
If you have a burst pipe, you should shut off the main water supply. This supply line is often just called “the main” and there will be a valve you can close that stops the flow of water into your home. A major water leak can cause a lot of damage. The faster you shut off the main, the less damage you will have.
You should know where the shutoff valves for your toilets and sinks are too. These are pretty easy to find. They are on the water line coming into the fixture. If you can’t seem to find them, one of our technicians can show you the next time we are at your home.

Drain cleaning in River Falls
Slow and clogged drains are one of our most popular calls. The first sign of a clogged drain is a slow drain. If you take care of it when it starts to get slow, you won’t end up with an emergency call to us.
You can reduce the amount of buildup in your drains with a few simple tricks:
- Use a screen over your shower drain
- Avoid bar soap that contains animal fat–it is very difficult to break down!
- Use a strainer when washing dishes in the kitchen sink
- Run a little extra water when brushing your teeth
Small leaks can mean high utility bills
Sometimes that dripping faucet takes a backseat to your other priorities. But all those drips add up and it’s likely that you’re paying higher utility bills because of it. A dripping faucet can waste 1-2 gallons of water per day!
A leaking toilet can be a much bigger problem. A minor leak could waste 30 gallons per day. A medium leak could be anywhere from 30-300 gallons per day and a major leak could be upwards of 1,000 gallons. You’ll notice this one on your utility bill when it comes. If you have a toilet that seems like it’s constantly running, it’s best to repair it soon before it costs you more money.
Another area we often find leaks are outside faucets. These go unnoticed because they simply drip straight into the ground.
Hard water in River Falls
Much of River Falls suffers from hard water. Hard water is safe to drink but it can cause staining on your sinks and showers as well as a buildup of minerals in and on your appliances. With hard water, you will likely see dry skin and hair too.
As for your appliances and fixtures, hard water can cause corrosion on faucets and showerheads. It can also cause an excess buildup of sediment in your water heater. This sediment will settle at the bottom of the tank and result in the tank rusting and breaking down. Ultimately it will begin to leak from the bottom. Flushing your water heater regularly will help remove some of this sediment but the better thing to do is install a water softener.
Water softeners will eliminate any problems you have with hard water in your home. They require minimal maintenance and will extend the lifespan of your plumbing fixtures and appliances that use water (water heater, dishwasher, washing machine).
Maintaining clean drinking water in River Falls
We know just how important clean, safe drinking water is for your household. We offer a variety of water treatment options to meet your concerns. We can install carbon filters, UV light filters and reverse osmosis systems to keep your family drinking clean water whether you are supplied from a well or the city.
