Industry Experience
Plumbing for Hermantown Homes, City Sewer or Septic
Hermantown’s housing is newer than Duluth’s or Superior’s. According to the U.S. Census Bureau’s American Community Survey 2024 5-year estimates, the median Hermantown home was built in 1993 and about 41 percent were built in 2000 or later. In houses that age the calls are less about crumbling pipe and more about the equipment: water heaters from that building wave reaching the 10 to 15 year mark, sump pumps, fixtures and the supply lines behind them.
Water and sewer are not the same everywhere in town. The City of Hermantown buys its drinking water from the City of Duluth and sends its sewage to the Western Lake Superior Sanitary District, but it also says not all residents have city water and sewer. Homes outside the mains run on their own well and a septic system or holding tank, which changes what a plumber needs to check.
Our five plumbers handle water heaters, leaks, fixtures, sump pumps, frozen pipes, drain cleaning and septic and holding tank work. See our plumbing services, or everything we do in town on our Hermantown service area page.

Plumbing Questions We Hear from Hermantown Homeowners
It depends on the job. You get the price before work starts, and it does not change after you approve it. Water heater replacements and new installs start with a free written estimate.
Call (715) 817-4404 and we will tell you when a plumber can be there. Tankless and heat pump water heaters need 1 to 3 days because of the electrical and venting work required.
For a water heater replacement, yes: the City of Hermantown requires a building permit for it. SAFEbuilt has run the city’s building department since August 19, 2026, with permits issued through the city’s online portal. We pull the permit.
Yes. The City of Hermantown notes that not all residents have city water and sewer. Inside the house, the plumbing works the same either way, and we also handle septic and holding tank work. Tell us your setup when you call.
Yes. We recommend a battery backup option on every replacement. A power outage during a wet spring is when a sump pump gets tested.
NOAA’s 1991-2020 normals for Duluth International Airport put the average January low at about 2°F, with about 38 nights a year below zero. Pipes on outside walls, in crawlspaces and in unheated garages are the ones that freeze, so insulate them and know where your main shutoff is.

I had a fantastic experience with Advantage Air Plumbing company! From the moment I called, their customer service was friendly, professional, and very helpful. The plumbers arrived on time, the quality of the work was excellent, and they made sure everything was working perfectly before they left. I really appreciated their professionalism and respect for my home.
Very quick,I had a clogged toilet th e y came early and got the job done I will be using them for now on
Dan has been at our house for repairs twice now and both times we couldn't be happier with the work done. He is kind and informative. This time it was a leaky pipe issue and even after finding the one he thought was the issue he still made sure to check every other fixture just to be sure. Would 100% call them again for any other issues we have in our house
