R. C. Ford Plumbing & Heating - Plumsteadville's Reliable Plumbing Repair

A frozen outdoor faucet is a common issue in our Pennsylvania winters. First, shut off the water supply to that faucet inside your home if possible. Never use an open flame to thaw it, as this can damage pipes and is a fire hazard. Instead, gently apply warm air from a hairdryer. If you're unsure or the pipe has burst, call us. Our team is experienced with local freeze-thaw cycles and can safely assess and repair the damage, often preventing more extensive water issues inside your walls.

Yes, we frequently perform plumbing inspections for the many historic and older homes in our area. Our inspection is thorough, checking for signs of wear on pipes, drainage efficiency, water pressure, and potential leaks. This proactive service can identify small issues—like a worn washer or slow drain—before they become major emergencies or cause water damage. We provide a clear report of our findings and honest recommendations, helping you maintain your home's plumbing system reliably.

We know a messy kitchen disruption is the last thing you need. Our technicians lay down protective mats and tarps in the work area before starting any job, such as a garbage disposal repair or replacement. We contain any debris and water, and we clean up thoroughly when the job is done, leaving your space as we found it. Respecting your home and minimizing disruption is a core part of our service promise.
