Plumbing Services in Westerville, OH
Your Westerville Plumber
Westerville was settled around 1810 and named for Matthew Westervelt, who gave land for a Methodist church in 1836. It became known as the "Dry Capital of the World" after the Anti-Saloon League moved its national headquarters here in 1909. Most of the old city sits in Franklin County, but Westerville has grown north across County Line Road into Delaware County, where ZIP 43082 now holds the Westar business district and a long list of newer neighborhoods. That northern side is where Benjamin Franklin Plumbing of Delaware serves Westerville homeowners.
We're The Punctual Plumber, and we mean it: if we arrive late, we pay you $5 a minute, up to $300.

The Westerville Plumbing Landscape
The Delaware County side of Westerville is much newer than Uptown. Census estimates for ZIP 43082 put the median home at about the year 2000, with roughly seven in ten homes built in the 1990s and 2000s. Those houses are now 15 to 35 years old, which is right when original water heaters, sump pumps, pressure-reducing valves, faucet cartridges and toilet parts start to give out.
Westerville is one of the few central Ohio cities that runs its own water utility. The city treats water drawn from Alum Creek and describes it as moderately hard, around 7 grains per gallon. Some 43082 addresses outside city limits get Del-Co Water instead, which is similar in hardness. Inside the city, wastewater is collected by Westerville and treated by contract with Columbus or the Delaware County sewer district. Like the rest of the area, the ground here is heavy clay, so sump pumps and clear buried drain lines do a lot of work after a storm.

Westerville Local Insight
A lot of northern Westerville homes have finished basements, two or three full baths and an irrigation system. More fixtures means more places for a slow leak to hide, and an upstairs toilet that runs or a shower valve that drips can waste water for months. On every visit, our plumbers check water pressure, look at the age of your water heater and sump pump and point out anything that's close to failing. You get the facts and the price up front, and you decide what to do.

Seasonal Plumbing in Westerville
In the fall, have the irrigation system blown out and shut off the supply to it, then drain outdoor faucets and disconnect hoses. Before spring storms, pour a bucket of water into the sump pit to make sure the pump kicks on, and check the backup battery. Once a year, flush the water heater. If you have a softener, keep the salt topped off so scale doesn't build back up.
