FAQs
My Wilmington home has old copper pipes and low water pressure. Can you help?
Absolutely. Low pressure is often a symptom of corrosion in aging copper pipes, a common issue we see in Wilmington. Smitty’s can perform a thorough plumbing inspection to locate the problem—whether it's a single clogged pipe or system-wide corrosion. We then provide precise repair or replacement, restoring proper flow and preventing further damage to your plumbing.
Will a new water heater or recirculation pump help with my home's slow hot water?
Yes, especially in older Wilmington homes with long pipe runs. A modern, properly sized water heater ensures you have enough hot water. Adding a recirculation pump provides instant hot water at your faucet or shower, eliminating the wait and conserving water. We can assess your system and recommend the best installation for your needs and budget.
I need a new shower or bathtub installed. Can you handle the plumbing in my older house?
Definitely. Upgrading fixtures in older homes requires expertise with existing plumbing, like galvanized or copper pipes. Our installation service includes adapting new showers and tubs to your current system, ensuring all connections are secure and up to code. We'll also check for underlying issues, like poor drainage or pressure, to ensure your new installation works perfectly.
