While some plumbing issues tend to be universal, such as a running toilet, other plumbing repairs happen more often in some cities. In the case of Wilmington, we can get a strange mix of plumbing problems caused by our climate. We get at least 1 inch of snow a year. While that might seem like nothing, it still means we get an occasional freeze, which can wreak havoc on our pipes. Since most Wilmington residents aren’t used to frozen pipes a majority of the year, they can often be unprepared for how to prevent them, causing burst pipe problems on occasion.
Here are some of the most common plumbing issues we can fix:
- Leaking pipes
- Burst pipes
- Broken toilets
- Clogged toilets
- Low water pressure
- Clogged drains
- Sewer system backups
- Well pump issues
- Septic tank problems
- Backflow prevention device issues
- Broken water heater
- Broken gas line
- Water line issues
