The New Castle Plumbing Landscape
New Castle's historic homes are the defining plumbing challenge, many carry galvanized, cast-iron, and lead-era plumbing, and their age and character call for careful repiping and lead service line replacement, now driven by federal lead-pipe rules. Many also heat with boilers and radiators, which we service and replace, and the newer neighborhoods around town have modern copper and PEX.
New Castle's low-lying, riverfront location means basements with a higher water table, so reliable sump pumps and basement-backup prevention matter, especially during heavy storms, and older sewered neighborhoods can be prone to backups. Delaware's hard winters bring frozen-pipe risk to the exposed runs historic homes so often have. We work carefully and cleanly to protect these irreplaceable old houses.
