Cherrington Plumbing works for homeowners in Westerville, Gahanna and Worthington on the everyday repairs every house needs sooner or later, the replacements that come with age, and the plumbing behind kitchen and bathroom updates.
What Homeowners Usually Need
Most residential calls fall into a handful of groups. Drains slow down and stop. Water heaters wear out, usually with some warning. Supply lines and valves start to leak, sometimes inside a wall where the first sign is a stain on the ceiling below. Sump pumps sit idle for months and then fail on the one night they are needed. And fixtures, from toilets that run constantly to faucets that drip and disposals that hum without turning, reach the point where replacement makes more sense than another repair.
- Drain Cleaning: Slow and clogged sinks, tubs, toilets and floor drains, and the main sewer line behind them.
- Water Heaters: Repair and replacement of tank water heaters, from a failed thermostat to a leaking tank.
- Leak & Pipe Repair: Leaking or burst supply lines, failing valves and repiping in older Westerville houses.
- Sump Pumps: Sump pump testing, repair and replacement for basements and crawl spaces.
- Toilet, faucet and garbage disposal replacement
Kitchen and Bathroom Updates
An update is the best time to deal with the plumbing behind the walls. With the drywall or tile off, old supply lines can be repiped, shutoff valves replaced and drains rerouted for a new layout before the walls close again. The new sink, faucet, toilet or tub is then set once the finish work is done. Coordinating the plumbing with the rest of the project avoids opening a finished wall later to fix what could have been replaced while it was exposed.
Older Houses
Many houses around Westerville have been updated in stages, and their plumbing shows it: galvanized steel in one place, copper in another, a length of PEX from a recent remodel, and cast iron drains below. Pipes in older houses rarely match what the drawings suggest, so repairs start with finding out what is actually there and joining old to new with the right fittings.
How a Home Visit Is Arranged
- Call or send the request form and describe the problem, where it is and when it started.
- A day is arranged to come out.
- The estimate is written up before the work starts, with an explanation of what it includes.
- Drop cloths go down, the work is done, and the area is swept and wiped before the visit ends.
If the work turns up something unexpected, such as a corroded valve behind a fixture or a damaged section of pipe, you are called first and the options are explained before going on. The plumbing guides cover what homeowners can check themselves in the meantime.
