Union homes deal with plumbing conditions that are specific to this corner of Boone County. The water here comes up through limestone aquifers that naturally introduce calcium and magnesium into the supply – and over time, that mineral-rich water leaves scale inside pipes, water heaters, and fixtures that shortens their lifespan and quietly reduces efficiency.
Add in the limestone-based clay soil that expands and contracts with wet-dry cycles, stressing underground pipes and basement walls during spring storms – and the mature trees throughout Union’s established neighborhoods that send roots toward sewer lines – and you have a local plumbing environment worth understanding before something goes wrong.
Arlinghaus has been providing Union and Boone County plumbing and HVAC services since 2008. Whether it is an emergency, a hard-water problem, or a drain issue that keeps coming back, we fix it at the source.
Plumbing emergencies do not wait for a convenient time. If you are dealing with a burst pipe, sewage backup, sudden flooding, or no hot water, our team is ready to respond quickly and get your home back to normal. We serve Union and all of Boone County for urgent situations when you need help fast.

A few quick steps before your service call can help prevent further damage and help our team diagnose the issue faster.
Most plumbing issues require professional diagnosis to be resolved correctly and permanently.
The scale buildup that comes with Union’s limestone-aquifer water is one of the most consistent plumbing issues in Boone County – and one of the most underestimated. Calcium and magnesium deposits accumulate inside pipes, water heaters, dishwashers, and fixtures over time, restricting flow, reducing efficiency, and cutting equipment lifespan shorter than it should be.
A whole-home water softener removes those minerals before they reach your plumbing system. We provide:
If your water heater is failing earlier than expected or your fixtures are constantly building up white residue, hard water is almost certainly a factor.
Union’s newer subdivisions are full of finished basements – and finished basements need reliable flood protection. The clay-based soil across Boone County absorbs water slowly during heavy spring rain and summer storms, building hydrostatic pressure against basement walls that finds its way in without a properly functioning sump system.
We provide:
A battery backup is especially important because the storms that cause the most basement flooding are often the same ones knocking out power across Boone County.
What starts as a slow drain can escalate into a full sewer backup if left untreated. In Union’s more established neighborhoods, tree root intrusion is one of the most common causes – mature hardwoods growing toward the moisture surrounding underground sewer lines until they cause blockages or structural damage to the pipe itself.
Our team provides complete drain and sewer services including:
A camera inspection takes the guesswork out of underground repairs – so we fix what actually needs fixing.
For stubborn or recurring clogs, hydro jetting is one of the most thorough solutions available. High-pressure water blasts through grease, scale, debris, and root intrusion from inside your pipes – clearing buildup that standard snaking leaves behind.
Hydro jetting can:
In Union, hard water is one of the biggest factors shortening water heater lifespan. Most water heaters last 8–12 years under normal conditions – but without regular maintenance and descaling, Union homeowners often see systems fail earlier than that. Staying on top of maintenance makes a real difference in how long your system lasts.
We provide complete water heater services including:
Boone County winters regularly bring temperatures cold enough to freeze exposed or poorly insulated pipes – particularly in garage walls, crawl spaces, and finished basement areas common in Union’s newer construction. January and February are our busiest months for frozen pipe calls, and fast response helps prevent a freeze from becoming a burst.
We provide frozen pipe thawing, repair, and prevention guidance to help Union homeowners get through the coldest stretches without a plumbing emergency.
Beyond major repairs and installations, we offer a full range of plumbing services to keep Union homes running reliably:
Homeowners across Union and Boone County choose Arlinghaus when they want plumbing service that addresses the root cause – not a patch that brings them back to the same problem in six months.

We understand the specific conditions that affect plumbing in this part of Boone County – hard water, clay soil, root intrusion, and the demands of larger newer homes with finished basements and premium fixtures. That knowledge shapes how we diagnose problems and how we fix them.
If you are dealing with a plumbing issue, it is always better to address it early before it becomes more serious or more expensive.

Yes – Union sits above limestone aquifers that naturally introduce calcium and magnesium into the water supply, causing scale buildup in pipes, water heaters, and fixtures over time. A whole-home water softener is the most effective long-term solution.
Yes – we respond quickly to urgent situations including burst pipes, sewage backups, and flooding to minimize damage and restore your home as fast as possible.
Mature trees throughout Union’s established neighborhoods naturally grow roots toward moisture – and underground sewer lines are a consistent source. Over time those roots can block or crack the pipe. A sewer camera inspection tells us exactly what we are dealing with before we recommend a repair approach.
A sump pump with battery backup is the most reliable protection for Boone County homes. The battery backup is especially important because heavy storms often cause both flooding and power outages at the same time.
Yes – we install and maintain whole-home water softener systems and can perform water quality testing to assess your home’s specific hardness levels before recommending the right solution.
Replacement is often recommended when your system is 8–12 years or older, requires frequent repairs, or has significant scale buildup from hard water that has reduced its efficiency and output.
Yes – descaling is an important maintenance service for Union homeowners with tankless systems given the hard-water conditions in Boone County. Skipping it significantly shortens the system’s lifespan.
Yes – frozen pipe thawing and repair is a common service for Boone County homeowners during January and February cold snaps.
We believe that one of life’s greatest gifts is the ability to celebrate one’s place in a thriving community, with family and friends, where everyone shares a common set of goals and dreams.
