Frequently Asked Questions

What makes your approach to bathroom remodeling different in Wilmington?

Our focus goes beyond just installing a new shower or tub. We combine our specialized niche in bathroom add-ons with full plumbing system expertise. This means we ensure all new fixtures are integrated with properly sized and updated supply lines and drains, which is crucial for the long-term performance of your remodel, especially in our local environment.

Can you help prevent problems from Wilmington's clay soil shifting?

Absolutely. The shifting clay soil common in our area can put stress on underground water pipes and connections, leading to leaks or breaks. During our plumbing inspections or installations, we assess the risk and can recommend and install flexible fittings or strategic reinforcements for vulnerable pipes to help mitigate this specific local issue.

My water heater is old. What's involved in a full replacement?

A full water heater replacement with us is a comprehensive service. We handle disconnecting and removing the old unit, installing the new water heater to current code, and ensuring all plumbing and venting connections are secure and efficient. As specialists, we also evaluate if your home could benefit from adding a hot water recirculation pump during the install to improve efficiency.
