I'm Mark Schlink, owner of Area Lakes Mechanical. I am a Burnsville native. I have been a Burnsville plumber and independent plumbing and heating contractor, also serving Lakeville, Eagan and Southern MN since returning from military service 25 years ago. We install and replace sinks, faucets, showers, bathtubs and toilets with new water-saving toilets.

Call to get an estimate on a the plumbing portion of your home remodelling, new bathroom addition or a new construction project. We can test the condition of your water to see if you need a softener or replacement of your existing unit. We use best practices for a variety of piping material from simple plastics to copper and metal.
Services
The water heater in your home is an appliance that you count on making your life comfortable every day. You don't think about it until suddenly, there is no more hot water for your family's morning routine. We can replace your failed water heater with a high quality new water heater: gas, direct vent, tankless or electric.

We have used Mark a couple times for work at our home. We have been extremely pleased with the quality of his work. Mark explains what needs to be done, points out where the issues are, and if there are various options for replacement. He provides a clear estimate of potential costs and is honest! I would highly recommend Mark and ALM for your plumbing needs.

Mark has done a couple of projects in my home in the past 3 years. Most recently, he helped me design my basement plumbing and mechanical layout in preparation for it to be a finished space. It was a massive project, and Mark provided incredibly useful insight and knowledge through every step of the process. He did an amazing job and we couldn’t be happier with the finished product. He does great work and I’ll continually have him back every time we have the need.

I had an issue at 11:30pm on a Friday night. Mark not only took my call, he walked me through everything that needed to be done and ensured I was taken care of. I have no doubt he will be my first call in the future for any other needs I may have. This should be your first and only call you need to make when looking for someone on your plumbing needs. I can’t thank Mark enough for the help he provided. He was such a life saver.

If you need a plumber, I strongly recommend Mark at Area Lakes Mechanical. He provided great service at a reasoanable rate, looked for ways to save me money and taught me a few things that I will be able to do myself in the future.

I will be recommending Mark to family and friends in the area.

I had a stain on the ceiling right below my upstairs bathroom which was there when I bought my house, but over the course of a year it grew ever so slightly bigger so I decided to call Mark just to double check I wasn't insane. Sure enough I had a leak somewhere within the wall behind my shower which was very slowly dripping whenever I took a shower which is why I wasn't sure if the stain was getting bigger or not. After finding out what needed to be replaced (a valve and some potentially faulty fixtures) he recommended this could be a perfect opportunity to update my shower fixtures. So after

I called Mark in the morning with no working water heater and by late afternoon Mark had walked me through the decision making, and came to my home and changed out my water heater with a new one. Mark was very clear and accurate with his estimate and worked hard getting the job done right. I would not hesitate to recommend Area Lakes Mechanical, and Mark for your plumbing needs.

Great experience! Mark was very friendly and timely. Did a wonderful job and went above and beyond to look at all of our plumbing and heating and give us advise. Would definitely use him again for our heating and plumbing needs.
