Yes. Southern Lakes Plumbing & Heating offers fast, reliable service for a wide range of urgent plumbing and heating problems, including burst pipes, sump pump failures, and heating system breakdowns. If you’re dealing with a plumbing or heating emergency, contact us immediately.

The best option depends on your water heater’s age, condition, and repair history. If your unit is more than 10 years old, requires frequent repairs, or no longer provides consistent hot water, replacing it may be the most cost-effective solution.

A sump pump that runs continuously could be caused by excessive groundwater, a stuck float switch, improper installation, or a failing pump. We can identify the cause and recommend the right repair or replacement solution.

Common signs of a leak include unusually high water bills, damp spots on walls or ceilings, musty odors, water stains, mold growth, or reduced water pressure.

We recommend having your furnace professionally serviced once a year, preferably before the heating season starts. Regular maintenance can improve efficiency, lower energy costs, extend the life of your equipment, and help prevent unexpected breakdowns during Wisconsin winters.

Signs that your furnace may need replacement include frequent repairs, uneven heating, increasing energy bills, unusual noises, poor indoor comfort, or a system that is more than 15 years old.

Hard water is common in many homes throughout Elkhorn and Southern Wisconsin. A water softener can help minimize mineral buildup, protect plumbing fixtures and appliances, improve water quality, and help soaps and detergents work more effectively.

To prevent frozen pipes, keep your home properly heated, insulate exposed plumbing, disconnect outdoor hoses, and seal drafts around pipes. During extremely cold weather, allowing faucets to drip slightly can also help reduce the risk of pipes freezing.
