For the leak, the no-heat morning, the roof that started dripping at 9pm: call (877) 454-8068. The desk is open 7am–10pm ET, every day. Tell us what is happening and where.

Older downtown housing and later subdivisions mix in Waukesha, where the median build year is 1979 and about half of homes predate 1980. Hard freezes and snow make frozen pipes, ice dams, and sump pump failures a winter routine. Basements are common, and hard water scales water heaters and fixtures. With roughly 71,500 residents and a solid owner share, much of the work is on homes now 40 to 60 years old and facing their second or third round of major repairs.

What that means for a call

The median home in Waukesha dates to 1979, and about 51% of the stock predates 1980. The bigger local pressure is the freeze: exterior walls, unheated crawlspaces, and hose bibs are the first places a pipe gives way. Know where the main shutoff is before the temperature drops.

Local watch-outs

  • Know where the main water shutoff is before a pipe freezes. During a deep freeze, open the cabinet doors under sinks on exterior walls and let a faucet trickle.
  • Check the basement or crawlspace after heavy rain. Most seepage starts at a wall joint, a window well, or a downspout that dumps too close to the foundation.
  • Hard water shortens the life of water heaters, faucets, and shower valves. Regular descaling or a softener can reduce the scale, but it will not fix a failed part.
  • Clear snow from vents, gutters, and the areas around exterior equipment. Do not bury a gas meter, and keep the furnace exhaust and intake clear.
