This page covers Lakeville in ZIP code 55044. It follows the year, because in Lakeville the plumbing problems have a season.

Spring: groundwater, sump pumps and wet basements.

As snow melts and rain falls, groundwater rises. Lakeville has more than 3,000 acres of parks, lakes and preserves, including Lake Marion and Orchard Lake, and low spots hold water. A sump pump that has sat idle all winter may not start. Test yours by pouring water in the pit, and call us if it stays silent.

Our sump pump repair service includes battery backup, because storms and outages come together. If the basement stays damp even with a working pump, basement waterproofing looks at drainage.

Summer: new homes, new appliances, old habits.

Lakeville added about 4,500 housing units between 2010 and 2020, rising from 19,456 to 23,971. Newer homes have PEX supply lines and plastic drains. Those fail differently. A bad crimp, a loose clamp or a failed fitting is more likely than corrosion. Our leak detection work tracks these down.

Summer also means heavy laundry, guests and lawn irrigation. A water heater that handled four people now handles ten. If yours is struggling, consider the options on our installation page.

Fall: winterizing and water heater check.

Before the first freeze, disconnect hoses, shut the interior valve to outdoor bibs and drain irrigation lines. Check the water heater's anode rod and drain valve before it works harder. Lakeville's water is treated with chlorine and potassium permanganate to remove iron and manganese, according to the city, and sediment still builds in a tank over time.

Winter: frozen lines and boiler calls.

Winter calls are frozen pipes and heating trouble. A burst pipe in an exterior wall or garage can flood a finished space. Hydronic and radiant homes may need boiler repair. If a pipe has frozen but not burst, open cabinet doors, raise the heat and call us.
