Industry Experience
A Plumber for Proctor’s Homes, Old and New
Proctor’s houses span more than a century. The City of Proctor dates the town to 1894, and according to the U.S. Census Bureau’s American Community Survey 2024 5-year estimates about 26 percent of its homes were built before 1940, with a median year built of 1968. That range means old galvanized supply lines in some basements and plastic piping from the last remodel in others.
The water side has been in the news here. Proctor Public Utilities finished its service line inventory for the Minnesota Department of Health, and as of November 17, 2025 it listed 3 lead lines, 23 galvanized lines that need replacing, 305 non-lead lines and 932 of unknown material. Where the line comes through your basement wall, before the meter, is where you can see what yours is made of.
Inside the house, our plumbers handle leaks, fixtures, water heaters, sump pumps, frozen pipes and repiping, plus drain cleaning. See our plumbing services, or everything we do in town on our Proctor page.

Plumbing Questions We Hear from Proctor Homeowners
Most of it. Under the Minnesota State Building Code, the City of Proctor wants a permit before a plumbing or gas system is installed, altered, repaired or replaced, and its Building Safety Division inspects the work. Questions go to City Hall at (218) 624-3641. We pull the permits on our jobs.
Look up your address on the state’s lead inventory tool at maps.umn.edu/LSL, or call Proctor Public Utilities at (218) 624-4055. Most Proctor lines are still listed as unknown, so the inventory may not have your answer yet. The city says it aims to replace every lead service line in its system and plans to seek funding for both public and private pipes.
Proctor Public Utilities, which handles the city’s water and electric service and its wastewater, according to the City of Proctor.
Shut off the main, open the faucet the frozen line feeds, and call (715) 817-4404. Never thaw a pipe with an open flame. NOAA’s 1991-2020 normals for Duluth International Airport put the January low around 2°F, so insulate pipes on outside walls before winter.
Yes, gas and electric tanks and tankless units. About 75 percent of Proctor homes heat with natural gas by Census figures, so gas water heaters are common here. See our Proctor water heater page.
Yes. Our plumbers clear drains with a cable or a jetter and run a camera down lines that keep backing up. See drain cleaning.

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
