Plumbing Services in Sunbury, OH
A Sunbury Plumber for Every Kind of Home
Sunbury got its start in 1816 as a stagecoach stop. The town square and the 1868 Town Hall are still the center of things, but a lot has grown up around them. Sunbury is now one of the fastest-growing places in central Ohio, with new neighborhoods going up around the historic core, I-71 close by, and rural homes on acreage all through the Big Walnut area. That makes for a real mix of plumbing, and Benjamin Franklin Plumbing of Delaware works on all of it.
We go by The Punctual Plumber, and we back the name with cash. Every minute we're late costs us $5, up to $300, and that money goes to you.

What Sunbury Homes Are Working With
Walk a few blocks from the square and you're in older houses that can still have galvanized supply pipe and cast-iron drains, both getting close to the end of their life. The newer subdivisions have a different problem. Those homes are young, but they've reached the age when the first builder-grade water heaters, sump pumps and fixtures need replacing. Past the city limits, many homes in the surrounding townships run on private wells and septic. Out there it's well pumps, pressure tanks, and treatment for iron, sulfur and hardness.
Inside the city, water comes from Del-Co Water and the City of Sunbury handles sewer. Del-Co water is moderately hard, so a softener is worth having to keep scale out of water heaters and fixtures. Most Sunbury houses have basements, which puts a lot on the sump pump and its battery backup. Our clay soil doesn't help either. Water sits instead of soaking in, and buried downspouts and yard drains clog and back up toward the foundation.

Seasonal Plumbing in Sunbury
Before the first hard freeze, disconnect the hoses, drain the outdoor faucets, and protect any lines running to barns and outbuildings. If you're on a private well, keep the well cap sealed and don't let the pressure tank area freeze. Come spring, test the sump pump and its battery backup before the rain and snowmelt arrive. Flush the water heater once a year to clear out sediment and scale.
