Ostrander was laid out in 1852 when the railroad came through and became a village in 1875. Today it's a small village of about 1,100 people in Scioto Township, west of Delaware along US 36, with farmland, creeks and fast-growing new neighborhoods around it. Benjamin Franklin Plumbing of Delaware is based just up the road in Delaware.
We're The Punctual Plumber, and we put money on it. If we're late, we pay you $5 a minute, up to $300.
Ostrander has two kinds of homes. The old village core has some houses from before 1940, about one in six homes in the village, and those can have older supply pipe, cast-iron or clay drains and aging water service lines. The newer part of the village has grown quickly since 2005, with developments like the Meadows of Mill Creek and Blues Creek, so many homes there are in their first or second decade and are starting to need water heater, sump pump and pressure valve work.
Inside the village, water comes from Del-Co Water and sewer service from the Village of Ostrander. Del-Co water is moderately hard, about 7 to 8 grains per gallon. Outside the village in Scioto Township, many homes rely on private wells and septic systems instead, and we service those too. Delaware County's clay soil drains slowly, so sump pumps and clear downspout lines matter here.
Ostrander calls tend to depend on where you live. In the village it's water heaters, sump pumps and aging supply and drain lines. Out in the township it's well pumps, pressure tanks, water treatment and septic-related drain problems. Either way, our techs test your water pressure and check the age of your equipment on every visit, so you get time to plan a replacement instead of scrambling when something quits. Our trucks are stocked, and most calls are fixed on the first visit.
Before the first hard freeze, disconnect garden hoses, shut off and drain outdoor faucets, and protect pipes in barns, garages and other unheated buildings. If you're on a well, check your pressure tank and pump before winter. Test the sump pump and its battery backup before the spring rain and snowmelt. Flush the water heater once a year to clear sediment and scale.

Hugo arrived at my house within the window of time I was expecting which was helpful. I could tell he knew what he was talking about. He gave me several options including an option to finance the replacement of my hot water heater. In short, he was kind, courteous and professional.

I needed my 12-year-old water heater replaced soon and requested seven estimates. Two gave a verbal quote over the phone without seeing the job. I was not sure what I was getting or if they would add additional charges after they got the job. One was going to bring a water heater with them to replace it during the estimate process. One gave written quote that stated a price and description of “replace 50 gal water heater”. There were no details on the work to be completed. Benjiman Franklin Plumping’s estimate was the most complete on the work to be performed. Davy noticed issues with the current installation that was not to code that others missed. He spent the time explaining and answering my questions so I could understand what and why items were being done. Davy was very professional, knowledgeable, and friendly. Although they were not the cheapest or the most expensive, they included everything to replace the water heater and bring in up to code within the estimate, with this I gave them the job. The installation was scheduled for the next day, Davy and Wilson arrived on time. The two worked well as a team completing the job beyond my expectations and to my satisfaction. The finished job looked so much better than the original installation. I am sure they are proud to be associated with their work. They cleaned up as they went so no mess was left behind. Job well done. Thanks Davy and Wilson

Brandon helped bring the pressure of our water down because it was way too high and added a filter to our ice maker so we don’t have so many calcifications in our ice! Brandon did a good job and was very nice. He cleaned up after himself and was always friendly. He was very knowledgeable and answered all the questions I had!
Yes. We repair and replace well pumps and pressure tanks, and we can add water treatment if your water is hard or has a sulfur or iron problem.
Del-Co Water serves the village and says its water is about 7 to 8 grains per gallon, which is moderately hard. Well water can be harder or have its own issues. A softener or filtration system can help, and we'll test your water and tell you what makes sense.
We work on the plumbing inside the house and on drain lines leading out of it. If you have a slow drain or backup and you're on septic, we'll find out whether the problem is in the house plumbing or further out.
Most tank water heaters last 8 to 12 years, and hard water can shorten that. If yours is past 10 years old, rusting at the base or popping as it heats, have us look at it before it fails.
Yes. That covers the village of Ostrander and the surrounding area in Scioto Township, plus the rest of our Delaware County service area.
