Minnetonka Plumbing

Minnetonka Plumbing Repair & Installation

Minnetonka draws all of its water from the city’s own deep wells, tapping the Prairie du Chien-Jordan and Jordan aquifers hundreds of feet down. That groundwater is some of the hardest in the metro — roughly 18 grains per gallon, about four times the national average — so scale buildup, struggling water heaters, and short-lived fixtures are part of daily life here. Ungerman’s licensed plumbers have served Minnetonka and the Twin Cities since 1977, and we know exactly what this water does to a home’s plumbing.

Plumbing Issues Common in Minnetonka Homes

Even though the city removes iron at its treatment plants, small amounts of iron and manganese can still bleed through, leaving discolored water, staining, or a metallic taste that has many residents adding a whole-house filter alongside a softener. Minnetonka’s housing skews 1960s through 1980s, with newer 1990s-2000s homes now reaching their first replacement cycle — so original water heaters, fixtures, and supply lines are often at or past end-of-life. The handful of pre-1940 and Minnetonka Mills-era properties are the most likely to still carry older galvanized supply piping that restricts flow and corrodes over time.
