Pewaukee is really two communities. The Village of Pewaukee, incorporated in 1876, wraps around the east end of Pewaukee Lake and holds much of the area's older housing. The City of Pewaukee formed in 1999 from the surrounding township and consists mostly of subdivisions, many built in the last few decades. Southport serves homeowners in both areas, with heating, cooling, plumbing, and water treatment handled from our Caledonia location.<\/p>\r\nSchedule your appointment today and get help from a team that knows homes around Pewaukee Lake.<\/strong>","content_2":" Certain softeners can reduce radium, though they are designed mainly for hardness. The village treats affected wells to meet the state limit, and a technician can test your water and explain which system fits your home.<\/p>"},{"question":"Why does my older home near Pewaukee Lake feel drafty even with a newer furnace?","answer":" In older homes, the problem is often the ductwork or air leaks around the house, not the furnace. Undersized returns and leaky ducts keep warm air from reaching the rooms that need it.<\/p>"},{"question":"How often should I flush my water heater with Pewaukee's hard water?","answer":" Once a year is a good rule with water this hard, since sediment builds faster than in softer areas. Members of our Shield Maintenance Plan<\/a> get a yearly water heater flush as part of their plumbing tune-up.<\/p>"}],"cta_title":"","cta_content":"","abstract":"","payload_id":""},"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\tHeating & Cooling<\/h2>\r\nOlder homes near the lake and in the village tend to have systems that were added or replaced piecemeal, sometimes with ductwork that was never sized for the current layout. Newer homes in the city are usually tighter and better insulated, but large open floor plans and finished basements can still leave some spaces uncomfortable. Both deal with the same long Waukesha County winters and humid lake summers.\r\n

Plumbing, Water Heaters & Water Treatment<\/h2>\r\nPewaukee's municipal water comes from groundwater wells, and some of those wells tap deep sandstone that carries naturally occurring radium. The village has been adding radium treatment<\/a> at affected wells to meet state limits. That deep groundwater is also hard, so scale builds quickly in water heaters and fixtures. Homes around the lake that sit outside utility service areas may be on private wells with their own water quality concerns.\r\n
