CABIN OPENINGS
Like many things during the long, Minnesotain winters, seasonal cabins are closed up and stationary. So when spring comes, the only running water to be found might be the melting snow. Returning to your closed cabin, you may find that wells need to be primed, electricity activated, water softeners programed. If you store antifreeze in your toilets over the winter, that will need to be flushed away and cleaned. Water heaters, depending on if you have gas or electric, can also be difficult to handle when ignited after hibernation.
If the cabin was properly drained, the lines will be filled with air, and the process of pressurizing them can be time-consuming and loud. However, if something was done improperly before winter and frozen water damaged the pipes, things can become very wet very fast.
One of Zaffke Plumbing’s goals of excellence is efficiency. When school lets out and the sun starts to warm, we know you do not want to have to scrounge through the internet or phone book every year looking for a local handyman to turn on the water in your cabin for you. With Zaffke, we have you on a schedule. Give us the date of your arrival and a means into the building, and we will make sure that you have working sinks, showers, and toilets before you get there. Also, as licensed plumbers, we can repair and potential damage that may have occurred to your pipes over the winter. Our customer list is already expansive, ranging from snowbirds to entire resorts, and we would love to add you to our growing summer family.
