Question Answers
How can WJW Plumbing help prevent my pipes from freezing this winter in Philadelphia?
We offer a few key services to protect your home. First, we can install frost-proof outdoor faucets, which are designed to prevent freezing. More importantly, for vulnerable interior pipes, we can properly insulate them with high-quality materials. If you're already dealing with a frozen pipe, our emergency team can safely thaw it and make any necessary repairs or replacements to prevent a burst and water damage.
My water heater isn't working well and I'm in an older Philly home. Could it be sediment?
Absolutely. Sediment buildup from our municipal water is a very common issue in Philadelphia, especially in older tanks. This sediment reduces efficiency, causes strange noises, and can lead to premature failure. We can perform a professional flush to clear the tank. Often, the best long-term solution is installing a new, high-efficiency water heater, and we can advise on the best model—like a tankless unit—to minimize future sediment problems.
If my sewer line needs installation or replacement, how does WJW handle it with Philly's older infrastructure?
We have extensive experience working with Philadelphia's historic clay, cast iron, and Orangeburg sewer lines. Our process begins with a camera inspection to pinpoint the exact issue. For replacements, we often use trenchless pipe bursting technology whenever possible. This method minimizes disruption to your yard, sidewalk, and landscaping by pulling a new, durable pipe through the old line, making it an ideal solution for navigating around Philly's mature trees and tight properties.
