Plumbing Services in Kilbourne, OH
Your Kilbourne Plumber
Kilbourne was first called Eden. It later took the name of Col. James Kilbourne, the surveyor behind the Old State Road, an early highway that still runs past the village along with State Route 521. A Kilbourne post office opened in 1837 and served the community until 2017. Today it's a hamlet of about 130 people in Brown Township, close to the north end of Alum Creek Lake, with farm country all around it. Benjamin Franklin Plumbing of Delaware is a short drive away on 521.
We're The Punctual Plumber. Show up late, and we pay you $5 a minute, up to $300.

The Kilbourne Plumbing Landscape
Kilbourne's core has buildings that go back more than a century, and the community has seen new interest lately as owners restore old storefronts. In Brown Township as a whole, census estimates show about one in five homes was built before 1940, with big building waves in the 1970s and again in the 2000s. So in one afternoon we might replace a 1970s water heater, fix a pressure tank on a 2000s home and track down a slow drain in a much older house.
Delaware County's Del-Co Water serves much of the county, but many rural Brown Township homes rely on private wells. Delaware County had more than 8,000 private wells as of a 2005 state report. Without a village sewer system, homes here generally use on-site septic. That means a clog can sit in the house, in the line to the tank or in the tank itself, and part of our job is finding out which.

Kilbourne Local Insight
Many Kilbourne-area homes have a well, a pressure tank, a water heater and a septic line all working together. When one piece acts up, it can look like a problem with another. Low pressure might be the pump, or it might be a clogged sediment filter. A gurgling drain might be the vent, not the septic. We test before we replace, explain what we found in plain language and give you a price before we start.

Seasonal Plumbing in Kilbourne
In fall, shut off and drain hose bibs and yard hydrants, and make sure any pipes in a barn, shop or crawlspace are protected. A heat lamp or heat tape near a well tank in an unheated space can save you a no-water morning. In spring, run water through buried downspout lines to make sure they flow. Replace well sediment filters on schedule.
