St. Paul Plumbing

St. Paul Plumbing Repair & Installation

St. Paul has one of the most historic housing stocks in the Twin Cities — roughly 41% of homes were built before 1940, and along Summit Avenue and through neighborhoods like Irvine Park, Cathedral Hill, and Dayton’s Bluff you’ll find some of the best-preserved Victorian homes in the country. Those older homes come with older plumbing, and our licensed plumbers know exactly what’s behind the walls. Ungerman has served St. Paul homes and businesses with honest diagnostics and upfront pricing since 1977.

Aging Pipes and Hard Water in St. Paul Homes

Homes built before 1926 were plumbed with galvanized steel supply lines, and many St. Paul properties from that era still rely on them. Galvanized pipe corrodes from the inside over a 40-to-50-year service life, leaving you with low water pressure and rusty water — a classic sign it’s time to repipe. Lead service lines are also common in pre-1926 homes; while SPRWS works through its Lead Free replacement program, we handle the interior repiping that goes with it. St. Paul’s surface water from the Mississippi is lime-softened to a moderate hardness of about 5 grains per gallon, so a softener usually isn’t necessary, but cold winters that send pipes below freezing make burst-pipe repair a real local concern.
