Excelsior Plumbing

Excelsior Plumbing Repair & Installation

Excelsior has some of the oldest plumbing we service, and in these historic lakeshore homes, age is the entire story. Century-old houses commonly still run galvanized supply lines that have been corroding from the inside for generations and cast-iron drains long past their expected life — the kind of systems that don’t fail gradually so much as give out all at once, usually in winter, usually into original hardwood or plaster below. Working on these homes takes a plumber who respects what’s behind the walls. Ungerman has served Excelsior and the Twin Cities since 1977 with licensed plumbers who know old houses.

What Excelsior’s housing stock means for your plumbing

Old pipe is the headline risk, and here it’s genuinely old. Galvanized lines scale shut and leak; cast-iron drains crack and back up; and in a historic home a hidden leak can quietly ruin original woodwork, plaster, and floors before it’s ever found, turning a plumbing issue into a serious water damage problem. Foundations near the lake add groundwater and sump considerations on top of it. We find the actual source rather than papering over the symptom, work carefully around historic finishes, and tell you honestly what needs replacing now versus what can wait.
