Plumbing questions, answered for Como

Como sits in Wisconsin's cold northern climate — a cold northern climate of long, snowy winters, deep sub-freezing cold, and short, warm summers. That's hard on a home's plumbing: deep sub-freezing cold that freezes and bursts supply lines and a long frost season that keeps buried pipe cold enough to crack all accelerate wear on pipes, fittings, and water heaters, so the failures we see most here are water heaters overworked by frigid inlet water and frozen and burst supply lines on sub-zero nights. We spec pipe, fittings, and fixtures for local conditions, not a generic catalog spec.

We cover Como and the surrounding area — including ZIPs 53147. If you're anywhere in Como, you're in our service area — call (213) 579-0947 and we'll confirm the next available window.

The call we get most in Como is water heaters overworked by frigid inlet water. Local housing is predominantly single-family homes with their own water heater and service line, plus a core of older in-town residences, so frozen and burst supply lines on sub-zero nights turns up often too.

First check the basics: on a gas unit, see whether the pilot or burner is lit; on an electric unit, check the breaker and the reset button on the thermostat.
