Emergency Plumbing (24/7)
Plumbing disasters don't wait for business hours, and neither do we. Delaware Plumbing Pros provides true 24/7 emergency plumbing response throughout Delaware, with licensed technicians on call nights, weekends, and holidays. When a pipe bursts at 2 AM or your sewer backs up on Thanksgiving, one call to (888) 217-3928 connects you directly to a dispatcher who routes the nearest available plumber to your door.
Common emergencies we handle include burst pipes, major leaks, overflowing toilets, water heater failures, gas line concerns, and sewer backups. Our trucks arrive fully stocked to stop damage fast and begin repairs immediately. Emergency service calls typically range from $150-$350 for the diagnostic and trip charge, with repair costs depending on severity and materials needed. We always discuss pricing before work begins, even in crisis situations.
Drain Cleaning
Slow drains and complete blockages are among the most common plumbing complaints we address. Our drain cleaning service goes beyond store-bought chemicals that can damage pipes—we use professional-grade augers, hydro-jetting equipment, and video inspection technology to identify and eliminate clogs at their source. Whether it's hair accumulation in bathroom drains, grease buildup in kitchen lines, or invasive tree roots in main sewer pipes, we have the right tool for every obstruction.
Recurring clogs, gurgling sounds, multiple backed-up fixtures, and foul odors from drains all signal it's time for professional intervention. Routine drain cleaning prevents costly emergencies and extends pipe life. Standard drain cleaning services typically run $125-$275 per line, while main sewer line cleaning with hydro-jetting ranges from $350-$600 depending on access and blockage severity. Call (888) 217-3928 to schedule same-day service.
Water Heater Repair & Installation
Delaware's hard water and seasonal temperature swings put extra demand on water heaters, making professional service essential for consistent hot water delivery. We repair and replace both traditional tank and tankless water heater systems, working with natural gas, propane, and electric models from all major manufacturers. Our technicians diagnose element failures, thermostat malfunctions, sediment buildup, anode rod deterioration, and gas control issues with precision.
Tank water heaters typically last 8-12 years and show warning signs like rusty water, rumbling noises, or temperature inconsistency before complete failure. Tankless systems offer 20+ year lifespans and energy savings but require specialized descaling and maintenance. Repairs generally cost $150-$500; tank replacements range from $1,200-$2,500 installed, while tankless installations run $2,500-$4,500 depending on venting and gas line requirements. We help you calculate operating cost savings to make informed decisions.
Leak Detection & Repair
Unexplained water bills, damp spots, and mold growth often hide leaks that can destroy structures and waste thousands of gallons monthly. Our leak detection service combines electronic listening devices, thermal imaging, and pressure testing to pinpoint leaks behind walls, under concrete slabs, and in underground lines without unnecessary demolition. Early detection prevents foundation damage, wood rot, and hazardous mold colonies.
We repair slab leaks, pinhole leaks in copper piping, joint failures, and corroded galvanized lines. Depending on accessibility and pipe material, repairs may involve spot fixes, pipe rerouting, or whole-house repiping with modern PEX or copper systems. Leak detection services start around $200-$400; repairs range from $300 for accessible pipe fixes to $2,000+ for slab leak repairs or extensive repiping. Suspect a hidden leak? Contact (888) 217-3928 for prompt investigation.
Toilet, Faucet & Fixture Services
Dripping faucets run up water bills, running toilets waste hundreds of gallons weekly, and outdated fixtures diminish your home's functionality and appearance. We handle everything from simple washer replacements to complete fixture upgrades, including low-flow toilets, touchless faucets, and luxury shower systems. Our plumbers work efficiently to minimize disruption, protecting countertops and flooring during installation.
Common issues include worn flappers and fill valves, corroded faucet cartridges, cracked toilet bowls, loose mounting hardware, and outdated fixtures incompatible with modern supply lines. We also address low water pressure at fixtures, which may indicate broader system problems. Faucet repairs typically cost $100-$250; toilet repairs $150-$350; and new fixture installations $200-$600 plus the fixture itself. We carry standard replacement parts to complete most repairs in a single visit.
Sewer Line Services
Your sewer line is the critical exit path for all wastewater, and when it fails, the entire household suffers. We provide comprehensive sewer line inspection, cleaning, repair, and replacement using trenchless technology whenever possible to preserve landscaping, driveways, and hardscaping. Our video camera inspections reveal cracks, bellies, root intrusion, and collapsed sections with crystal clarity.
Warning signs include multiple drain backups, sewage odors in yards, lush green patches over the line, and foundation moisture. Trenchless pipe lining creates a new pipe within the old one for $3,500-$7,500; traditional excavation and replacement runs $4,000-$12,000 depending on length, depth, and surface restoration needs. We obtain all permits and coordinate with utility locators to ensure code-compliant, lasting solutions.
Sump Pump Services
Delaware's coastal position and clay-heavy soils make basement flooding a genuine risk for many homeowners. Sump pump systems are your first defense, and we install, maintain, and repair pedestal and submersible pumps, battery backup systems, and combination units with water-powered secondary pumps. Proper sizing, pit construction, and discharge routing determine effectiveness—we assess each home's unique water table and drainage patterns.
Common problems include stuck float switches, burned-out motors, clogged discharge lines, overwhelmed single-pump systems during heavy rains, and complete power failures. We recommend annual testing before spring rains and battery replacement every 3-5 years. New sump pump installations range from $900-$2,500; repairs $200-$500; and battery backup additions $500-$1,200. Don't wait for standing water—call for preventive service.
Bathroom & Kitchen Plumbing
Remodeling or updating your kitchen or bathroom requires plumbing expertise that protects your investment and ensures code compliance. We handle rough-in plumbing for new construction, fixture relocation, pipe upsizing for modern appliances, gas line installation for ranges and fireplaces, and complete plumbing overhauls for historic home renovations. Our team coordinates with contractors and homeowners to keep projects on schedule.
Kitchen services include garbage disposal installation, reverse osmosis water systems, pot filler faucets, and island sink plumbing. Bathroom projects encompass shower valve upgrades, freestanding tub installation, dual-sink vanities, and accessibility modifications. Project pricing varies widely—simple fixture swaps start around $500, while comprehensive kitchen or bathroom plumbing runs $2,000-$8,000+ depending on complexity. We provide detailed estimates and stick to them.
