Deephaven’s housing ranges from historic 1880s–1920s lake cottages and estates to modern custom-built homes. Many lakeside properties have been renovated, but original plumbing infrastructure often remains beneath the upgrades. Bedrock Plumbing understands the specific plumbing challenges that Deephaven homeowners face:

Well Water & Private Systems
Many Deephaven properties rely on private wells or older municipal connections. Well water from the deep bedrock aquifers in the Lake Minnetonka basin is classified as very hard to extremely hard (14–30 GPG). Without proper treatment, mineral deposits clog valves, scale water heater elements, and shorten appliance lifespans. We install and service water softeners, iron filters, and pressure tanks for both well and municipal systems.

Lakeside Foundation & Sump Pump Issues
Properties along Lake Minnetonka’s eastern shore deal with high water tables, especially during spring snowmelt and after heavy summer rains. Sump pump reliability is essential — a failure during peak groundwater season can flood finished basements in hours. We install primary and battery backup sump pump systems designed for Deephaven’s lakeside conditions.

Aging Plumbing in Renovated Historic Homes
Deephaven’s character comes from its lakefront estates and vintage cottages, many dating to the early 1900s. While kitchens and bathrooms get updated, original galvanized supply lines and cast-iron drains often remain behind the walls. These aging systems are prone to low water pressure, corrosion, and root intrusion from the area’s mature tree canopy.

Frozen Pipes in Lakeside & Exposed Areas
Lakefront properties with crawl spaces, boathouses, and detached structures are especially vulnerable to pipe freezes during Minnesota’s subzero winters. Exposed water lines in these areas can burst without warning. We provide emergency frozen pipe thawing and install heat trace cable and insulation to protect vulnerable plumbing runs.
