Basement bathroom and water heater plumbing in Eagan, MN 55122

Split-levels and split-entries make up a big share of Eagan's housing, and many have a lower level that's partly above grade. Some already have a three quarter bath that's tired and dated. Others were never finished. Either way, the main question is whether the new fixtures can drain to the sewer by gravity or need an ejector pump.

We check the depth of the main drain, look for rough-in stubs, and plan the layout before anyone cuts concrete. When gravity drainage works, the job is simpler and costs less. When it doesn't, we install a sealed ejector basin with proper venting and an alarm. We pull the permit and coordinate with your finishing contractor.

Eagan runs its own city wells, and the water is hard. Scale settles in water heaters, coats elements, and clogs fixtures and valves. Homes built in the 1980s and 1990s are often on their second water heater by now, and many original softeners have stopped regenerating properly.

We repair or replace water heaters with tanks or tankless units sized for your household, and pair them with a working softener to protect the new equipment. If your softener is leaking at the head, using no salt, or letting scale through, we'll service or replace it and set it up for your water and usage.

Bathrooms in Eagan's 1980s and 1990s homes are now hitting the age when original shower valves drip, tub spouts won't divert, and toilets run all night. Moen and Delta cartridges from that period wear out, and hard water speeds it up by scaling the seals and stems.

We replace cartridges and stems, rebuild or swap valves, and update toilets and faucets when repair doesn't make sense. If you're planning a full bathroom remodel, we can update the valve to a pressure balancing model and reroute supply lines while the wall is open.
