Hopkins Plumbing

Hopkins Plumbing Repair & Installation

Hopkins has some of the oldest residential plumbing in the western suburbs, and age is the whole story here. Postwar bungalows and story-and-a-halfs commonly still have galvanized supply lines that scale shut from the inside and cast-iron drains that crack and back up — both of which tend to fail in winter, and both of which tend to fail into a finished lower level. The dense stock of older apartments and duplexes adds its own headache: shared stacks and shutoffs where one problem affects several units. Ungerman has served Hopkins and the Twin Cities since 1977 with licensed plumbers who have seen these failure modes before.

What Hopkins’s housing stock means for your plumbing

Old pipe is the headline risk. Galvanized lines lose pressure and eventually leak; cast-iron drains crack and back up; and in an older home a slow leak behind a wall can feed a water damage problem long before anyone notices. We find the actual source rather than papering over the symptom, show you what we find, and tell you honestly what needs replacing now versus what can wait. For rental and multi-unit owners, we work around tenants and keep the whole building in mind, not just the fixture that failed.
