Most Felton homes were built around 1994, and 27% predate 1980 — so a lot of them still run their original supply pipe and water heaters, well past service life. We check pipe condition, water-heater age, and shut-off valves on every visit.

The call we get most in Felton is rusted water heater tanks in the muggy climate.

Often just the failed section. If the surrounding pipe is still sound and the leak is isolated, a spot repair on your Felton line is far cheaper than a full repipe.

When the pipe is old galvanized steel throughout, we'll walk you through why repiping pays off long term.
