Common Plumbing Problems in Edina Homes
Edina draws its water from 18 wells, 381 to 1,150 feet deep. 9 of them feed 4 treatment plants that remove iron and manganese. The city gives hardness of 17 to 20 grains and recommends setting a softener to leave 3 to 4 grains.
The Morningside neighborhood gets Minneapolis water instead, which does not need softening. The median Edina home was built in 1971.
Setting a Softener for Edina Water
Edina's Public Works recommends setting your softener so the water comes out at 3 to 4 grains, not zero. The supply runs 17 to 20 grains. If spots return or soap stops lathering, the softener may be out of salt, set wrong or due for service. Morningside homes on Minneapolis water do not need one. See water softener.
Edina Winter Checklist
- Disconnect hoses and drain outside faucets before the first freeze.
- Let a faucet drip during the coldest nights.
- Keep the basement above freezing; that's where the service line enters.
- If a pipe freezes, open its faucet and close the main shutoff before it thaws. See frozen pipes.
What Affects Plumbing Costs in Edina
No plumber can quote a firm price before seeing the problem. These are the things that move the cost of plumbing work in Edina.
- Scale. Seized parts are cut out and replaced.
- Thawing. Frozen service lines need special equipment.
- Finding the problem. Leak locating and camera inspections are separate steps, but they keep the repair itself small.
- Time of day. Many companies charge an after-hours, weekend or holiday fee.
- Ask for the arrival fee before the plumber heads out, and for the repair price in writing before work starts.
