Dayton homeowners call us for backed-up drains, failed water heaters, sump pumps that quit and well or septic questions that city-water towns never face. Our emergency line is open 24/7, and we book same-day appointments when available. We are based in Champlin, so Dayton is a short drive from the shop.
Emergency serviceIs emergency plumbing available in Dayton?
Yes. A burst pipe on a January night or a flooded basement after a storm gets the same answer as a daytime call. Phone the line, describe what is happening, and we walk you through the shutoff while we schedule the earliest visit.
The city's own ZIP code is 55327, and some addresses on the edges use the ZIP codes of neighboring cities. Tell us the street and the nearest cross road, and we will find you.
Who we serveDayton at a glance
Dayton had 7,262 residents in the 2020 census, and it lies mostly in Hennepin County with a small corner in Wright County. The Old Village dates to the 1850s, and newer subdivisions have grown around it. About 36 percent of homes were built since 2010, and 93 percent are owner-occupied, so most of what we see is newer plumbing with the problems that come from builder-grade fixtures and sump systems.
Water and septicCity water, private wells and septic systems
Dayton's municipal water serves the Historic Village, the southwest industrial park and the northeast area. Everything else is on private wells. The city's wellhead plant removes iron and manganese from the water it supplies, according to the city.
Roughly 885 septic systems operate in Dayton, and the city's ordinance calls for inspection every three years. We repair and replace plumbing up to the tank, and we say so when a problem belongs with a septic contractor.
What this means for repairs
A home on a well may have iron, manganese or hardness that the city treats for its own customers. Those minerals scale water heaters and clog aerators, so a water test comes before any treatment decision. See water softener and filtration for how to decide.
A home on septic has a different failure pattern than a home on sewer. Slow drains across the house can mean the tank or the drain field, and a camera or a pumping visit tells you which.
What Dayton homeowners call us about
Sump pump failure
New subdivisions near the rivers and creeks can have high groundwater after storms. A failed pump needs fast attention. See sump pump repair.
Water heater trouble
Well water with minerals shortens tank life, and builder-grade tanks installed since 2010 are reaching the age where failures start. See water heater replacement.
Drain backups
Shared drain lines in newer homes can back up after years of grease or wipes. See drain cleaning.
Hidden leaks
A water bill that jumps, or a well pump that never rests, can mean a leak. See leak detection.
Before We Arrive in Dayton
On a well system, the pressure tank shutoff or the main valve stops water. City-water homes have a main valve near the meter.
For a leak on a well system, switch off the well pump breaker so the pump does not keep running.
Move items off a wet floor and photograph the damage.
Clear a path to the water heater, the sump pit or the cleanout.
If you smell gas, leave the house and call 911 or CenterPoint at 612-372-5050 before you call us.
