We have 24/7 emergency plumbers ready to respond if your toilet is leaking, backed up, or not flushing. Not just that, but if you have a sink that’s clogged and not draining or a faucet that feels loose and leaky, they’re just as ready to help. We service the greater Delaware Ohio area.
Construction of fiberglass tubs and showers uses methods and materials similar to those for building fiberglass boats. Gel coat is applied to a mold and allowed to cure. Then chopped fiberglass and polyester resin are applied over the gel coat and worked into the surface. To create a stiff and strong tub or shower enclosure, the lamination uses a grooved roller to compact the fibers against the gel coat. The quality and strength of the laminate depends on the operator’s ability to apply the appropriate amount of fiberglass and resin in critical areas. If enough material is not applied or the laminate is under- engineered, cracks can develop over time, usually in the bottom of the tub or shower. Stress cracks are often shallow and cosmetic and usually do not require structural repair. Other times, cracks extend deeper into the laminate and can lead to a leak in the shower or tub. We service the greater Delaware Ohio area.
If you are interested in replacing your current water heater, we recommend you ask one of our plumbing specialists about the benefits of switching to a tank less water heater. Tank less water heaters have a higher initial installation fee but use up to 50% less energy than those with tanks and, in turn, save a typical family hundreds of dollars a year on their water bills. We service the greater Delaware Ohio area.
To minimize the need for emergency plumbing services, we also offer routine annual maintenance visits for all plumbing systems, including those in your kitchen. During these visits we will thoroughly inspect your kitchen plumbing pipes, drains and fixtures for issues and make adjustments to minimize the need for repair calls in the future. We service the greater Delaware Ohio area.
Everything that goes down your sinks and toilets goes into the Delaware City’s wastewater system. Things that can clog your home drain can clog the Delaware City’s wastewater system, too. The system is designed to handle human waste and toilet tissue which are biodegradable (or will break down biologically). Problems may occur when non-biodegradable materials enter the system.
Blocked or restricted water flow is the first indication of a problem. If you don’t act quickly your pipes will burst as the water expands. At the first sign of a blockage, open the faucet. Finding the blockage is critical. Trace the supply pipe to where it runs through exterior walls or other unheated parts of your Delaware Ohio house, such as the basement or crawl space. To melt the ice, use hot water, a heat gun, hair dryer or heating pad. It is far better to adopt the slower and more conservative procedure of melting ice by the use of a blow dryer or heat gun. Shield flammable materials from the heat. While applying heat, leave the faucet open so water can drain. Once the ice melts and the pipes cool, prevent them from refreezing by wrapping them with foam insulation. Wrap all pipes that pass through unheated spaces. Pipes buried outdoors should run about 12 inches. Below the frost line and should be wrapped with foam insulation extending below frost line. If you expect a freeze, leave exposed taps dripping to prevent frozen pipes.
