Delafield is a city of lakefront properties, historic downtown buildings, and neighborhoods that span more than a century of residential construction. When a plumbing emergency strikes — a burst pipe in a lakefront home on Nagawicka Lake, a sewer backup in a downtown building, or a failed water heater in a new subdivision — Burkhardt Heating, Cooling, Plumbing & Electric is ready to respond 24/7, any day of the year.
The Lake Country setting that makes Delafield so desirable also creates specific plumbing challenges. Lakefront properties often deal with high water table conditions that stress sewer laterals and floor drains. Older homes along Main Street and the historic core retain original cast-iron and galvanized plumbing systems that have operated for many decades. And Waukesha County's colder-than-average winter temperatures — the area sits farther inland than Milwaukee County — make frozen pipe events more common than in the inner suburbs closer to the lake.
Burkhardt's licensed master plumbers respond to Delafield emergencies including burst and frozen pipes, sewer and drain backups, water heater failures, and gas line leaks. Our trucks are fully stocked for emergency repairs, and our plumbers carry diagnostic tools — including pipe cameras and leak detection equipment — to find the source of a problem fast and fix it right the first time.
Hard water from Waukesha County aquifers is a reality for Delafield homeowners on both municipal and private well supply. High mineral content accelerates scale buildup in supply fittings and shortens water heater life, contributing to the unexpected failures that become emergency calls. Our plumbers can assess the full condition of your plumbing system during any emergency visit and advise on maintenance steps that reduce the risk of future failures.

What is the most common plumbing emergency in Delafield during winter?
Frozen pipes are the most common cold-weather emergency we respond to. Pipes in exterior walls, under-insulated crawl spaces, and unheated garages are especially vulnerable during Waukesha County's coldest stretches. Call us immediately if you notice reduced water pressure or no flow — these are early signs of a frozen pipe.
