Wayzata plumbing
What the city's tap tests found
Wayzata pumps its water from three wells, 100 to 507 feet deep. The city also tests water at customers' taps for lead and copper. In the September 2023 round, 2 of the 20 homes tested had high copper levels and 1 had a high lead level. The city's report lists corrosion of household plumbing as the typical source of both.
The report notes that lead in drinking water comes mainly from service lines and home plumbing, and that the city cannot control the plumbing materials inside a home. It suggests running the tap before drinking water that has sat, and using cold water for drinking and cooking.
Tiger repairs and replaces leaking, corroded, or damaged water pipes and fixtures inside the home.

Drains and sewer lines
Slow, clogged, or recurring drains, or a backup that shows up at several fixtures. Tiger clears household drains and repairs and replaces sewer lines.

Furnaces
No heat, short cycling, or cold air from the vents. Tiger finds the cause, repairs what is worth repairing, and prices a replacement next to the repair when the furnace is near the end of its life.
Air conditioning
Central air that runs but doesn't cool, freezes up, or trips the breaker needs a diagnosis before anything is replaced. Tiger repairs, installs, and replaces central air conditioners.
