Apple Valley Plumbing Repair & Installation

Apple Valley is one of the few Twin Cities suburbs that draws its water entirely from its own municipal wells rather than surface water. That groundwater comes up from the Jordan and Mt. Simon-Hinckley aquifers and is treated centrally for iron and manganese, but it still reaches the tap hard — around 24 grains per gallon. As licensed plumbers serving the metro since 1977, we know how that local water behaves inside Apple Valley’s pipes and fixtures.

What Apple Valley homes deal with

Hard water is the everyday culprit here. At 24 grains, it leaves scale in water heaters, clogs aerators, and shortens the life of fixtures, which is why a properly sized water softener pays for itself across most Apple Valley homes. The bulk of the city’s housing was built from the 1970s through the 1990s, so original water heaters, supply lines, and drains in those homes are now at or past replacement age. Cold Dakota County winters add freeze-thaw risk, and a burst pipe can cause real water damage fast.
