Plumbing Services in Powell, OH, Benjamin Franklin Plumbing of Delaware

Your Powell Plumber

Powell's story starts at the Four Corners, where Liberty Street meets Olentangy Street, between the Olentangy and Scioto Rivers. That crossroads is still the center of the historic downtown. Around it are golf-course neighborhoods like Golf Village and Scioto Reserve, and past those, quiet subdivisions that keep going across Liberty Township. 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.

The Powell Plumbing Landscape

Powell nearly tripled in size during the 1990s. Much of the city and the Liberty Township land around it was built between the 1990s and the 2010s, so a lot of houses are hitting the same milestones at once. Original and second water heaters are wearing out. So are sump pumps, pressure-reducing valves, supply lines and fixtures. Some homes built before the mid-1990s may still have polybutylene supply pipe, which is prone to failure and worth replacing before it gives you trouble.

Water comes from Del-Co Water, and the Delaware County Regional Sewer District handles the sewer side. Del-Co water is moderately hard, and over time it leaves scale in water heaters, tankless units and fixtures. A softener or filtration system slows that down. Nearly every Powell home has a basement, and many are finished, so the sump pump (with a battery backup behind it) is one of the most important things in the house. Add central Ohio's dense clay, which drains slowly, and a clogged or collapsed downspout line can push water right back at the foundation.

Powell Local Insight

Powell calls tend to repeat. Water heaters and sump pumps near the end of their service life. High water pressure wearing out fixtures and valves. Hard-water scale. Buried downspouts backing up after a heavy rain. That's why our techs test your water pressure and check the age of your water heater and sump pump on every visit. 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.

Seasonal Plumbing in Powell

Before the first hard freeze, disconnect your garden hoses, shut off and drain the outdoor faucets, and insulate any pipes in unheated spaces. Test the sump pump and its battery backup before the spring rain and snowmelt. Flush the water heater once a year to clear out sediment and scale. If water pools near the foundation after a storm, have the buried downspouts checked.

Powell Plumbing FAQs

How long does a water heater last in a Powell home?

Most tank water heaters last 8 to 12 years, and hard water can cut that short. A lot of Powell homes built in the 1990s and 2000s are already on their second or third one. If yours is past 10 years old, rusting at the base or popping as it heats, have us look at it before it fails.

Do I need a water softener in Powell?

You don't have to have one. Del-Co water is moderately hard, though, and a softener cuts down on scale in water heaters, tankless units, dishwashers and fixtures. Many Powell homeowners find their equipment lasts longer with one. We'll test your water and tell you what makes sense.

My basement is finished. How do I keep it from flooding?

Start with the sump pump. Make sure it works, and add a battery backup so it keeps running when a storm knocks the power out. Then look outside. Your downspouts should carry water away from the house, and in Powell's clay soil, clogged or collapsed underground downspout lines are a common reason basements get wet.

What water pressure should my Powell home have?

Somewhere between 40 and 60 PSI is typical. Go higher than that, and faucets, toilet fill valves, water heaters and appliance hoses wear out faster. We test pressure on every visit and can replace a pressure-reducing valve that's failing.

Do you serve Liberty Township and the rest of the 43065 area?

Yes. That includes downtown Powell, Golf Village, Scioto Reserve, Wedgewood and the rest of the 43065 ZIP code, plus the rest of our Delaware County service area.
