Plumbing questions, answered for Hobart

Hobart sits in Wisconsin's cold northern climate — a cold northern climate of long, snowy winters, deep sub-freezing cold, and short, warm summers. That's hard on a home's plumbing: deep sub-freezing cold that freezes and bursts supply lines and a long frost season that keeps buried pipe cold enough to crack all accelerate wear on pipes, fittings, and water heaters, so the failures we see most here are water heaters overworked by frigid inlet water and corroded service laterals from road salt and slush. We spec pipe, fittings, and fixtures for local conditions, not a generic catalog spec.

The call we get most in Hobart is water heaters overworked by frigid inlet water.

Often just the failed section. If the surrounding pipe is still sound and the leak is isolated, a spot repair on your Hobart line is far cheaper than a full repipe. Our Brown County plumbers will tell you honestly when a Hobart repair beats a repipe — and never push a whole-home repipe you don't need. When the pipe is old galvanized steel throughout, we'll walk you through why repiping pays off long term.

For a burst pipe, shut off your main water valve first, then call us — but repairs on gas water heaters, sewer lines, and pressurized supply lines are best left to a licensed plumber.
