Bloomington Plumbing Repair & Installation

Bloomington’s water is a little unusual for the metro: the city draws from its own deep wells and a Mississippi River treatment plant, then lime-softens the blend down to roughly 5.2 grains per gallon before it reaches your tap. That’s far gentler than most neighboring suburbs, so the plumbing work we do here is driven less by hard water and more by the age of the homes themselves. Ungerman’s licensed plumbers have served Bloomington homes and businesses since 1977 with honest diagnostics and upfront pricing quoted before any work begins.

What Bloomington’s housing stock means for your plumbing

Bloomington boomed in the 1950s and 60s, and the median home here dates to about 1972 — a huge base of split-levels and ramblers in East Bloomington and larger two-story homes out west. After 50 or 60 years, the original mechanical systems are the story: aging water heaters, worn mid-century fixtures, and especially cast-iron drain, waste, and vent piping that cracks, scales, and backs up as it ages. The good news is that Bloomington’s public system has no identified lead or galvanized service lines, so supply-side concerns are minimal — but original interior drains and sewer laterals are the everyday call. Minnesota’s deep winter frost also drives frozen and burst pipes, the kind of failure that can quickly turn into water damage if a line lets go.
