About Fox Plumbing & Water Care in Burlington, WI

Our thorough plumbing inspection identifies pipes at risk of freezing, especially in unheated areas like basements, crawl spaces, and exterior walls common in Burlington homes. We check insulation, assess water flow, and recommend proactive measures—such as pipe wrapping or sealing drafts—to prevent costly freeze-ups before the deep Wisconsin winter sets in.

Absolutely. An aging water heater can contribute to pressure fluctuations and corrosion that weaken pipe joints. Our expert installation of a modern, properly sized water heater provides stable pressure and temperature, reducing stress on your plumbing system. This can help minimize the recurring joint leaks that are a common issue in Burlington-area homes.

First, shut off the main water supply to prevent water damage. Then, call Fox Plumbing immediately. While you wait, gently apply heat to the frozen area upstream of the leak using a hairdryer (never an open flame) to potentially thaw the ice and relieve pressure. Our technicians will repair the joint leak and conduct an inspection to check for other freeze-related vulnerabilities in your system.
