Beyond insulating pipes, we recommend a professional plumbing inspection before winter. We'll identify vulnerable areas, like exterior walls or unheated crawl spaces, and may suggest installing a hot water recirculation pump. This keeps hot water moving through your pipes, significantly reducing the risk of freezing and the costly damage that follows.

It depends on the joint's condition and location. For a minor, accessible leak, a repair might suffice. However, in older Tomah homes with galvanized pipes, joint leaks are often a sign of wider corrosion. We'll inspect the area and advise if a targeted repair or a full section replacement is the more reliable, long-term solution to prevent recurring problems.

Cold groundwater in winter makes your water heater work harder. We can perform a diagnostic repair to fix issues like a faulty heating element. If your unit is over 10-15 years old or consistently underperforms, a new, properly sized water heater installation is often more energy-efficient and cost-effective for Tomah households, ensuring you have enough hot water when you need it most.
