Spring is Here!

I think it's safe to say that spring is here for good now.  I know they say that April is the snowiest month, but let's be honest, with flowers already blooming here in Minnesota, it seems that snow is now a distant memory.

Our neighbors have already been out in their gardens, cleaning them out and ending to the newly emerging bulbs and flowers that are getting ready to bloom early this year.

As you go outside and get down to the nitty-gritty yard work, don't forget to check all of your outside faucets for leaks.  Sometimes small leaks on the outside can be repaired as easily as replacing a washer.  Other times it requires a completely new installation.  It all depends on the age of your hose-bib and the condition it is in currently.

If you do feel like the best option is to replace it, we have a great off through the end of May.  We are offering $20.00 either a new installation or replacement of your current outside faucet with a new one.

We usually install and highly recommend Woodford's Freezeless Model 19 faucet.  Although there is a possibility it could freeze if not properly taken care of, it is less likely to freeze and cause a leak over the long Minnesota winter.

We'd love to stop out and put a stop to the leaking down your houses beautiful exterior.  Call for an appointment today at 651-777-7333!

Getting Your Plumbing Ready for Fall and Winter

Well it's that time again in Minnesota.....the leaves will start changing, the apple orchards are open and there's that crisp feeling in the air.  While fall is one of my favorite times of year for so many reasons, it's also a great time to get your house ready for winter (I know, I said the "W" word).

The number one cause of a leaky hose or burst line in the spring or summer is improper winterization in the fall before it freezes outside.

Did you know that you can rely on Zell Plumbing & Heating to remind you to winterize your faucets?  We offer a reminder service so that you can turn off and blow out your own faucets and lines outside, or you have the option of having us call you to set up a time to have one of our professionals come out and winterize for you.

It's especially important to have pool houses, sheds with spigots on them or other outbuildings that are not heated winterized.  We have the tools and expertise to make sure the job gets done properly so when spring is here again it's a breeze to use your outside water hoses, pool houses, sheds and other buildings.

If you'd like to have a reminder sent to you for one of our experts to call and schedule your outdoor water winterization, or if you'd like a reminder for yourself, please feel free to fill out the form with the link below:
