Minerva Plumbing, a Straight Shot Down Route 30

Where Minerva Meets Three Counties

Most of Minerva lies in Stark County, with portions extending into Carroll and Columbiana Counties. If your home is on the Carroll side, see our Minerva, Carroll County page. We serve the whole village, and nearby we also cover Malvern, Waynesburg, East Rochester and Hanoverton.

Route 30 makes the trip straightforward, so Minerva is a regular part of our eastern Stark County schedule rather than an occasional stop.

Picking Fixtures and Appliances That Fit Your Home

The fixture aisle can be overwhelming. Before you buy, it helps to know what will actually fit your plumbing, your water and the way your household uses it. Here are the questions we walk Minerva customers through.

Bring us the model numbers you are considering and we will tell you what the install involves before you spend anything.

Water heaters

A standard tank heater is simple and affordable to replace. Tankless units save space and provide continuous hot water but may need larger gas lines and new venting. Household size, current gas service and where the heater sits all affect the right choice.

Toilets

Check the rough-in distance from the wall to the floor bolts before buying. Comfort-height bowls suit many adults, and modern low-flow models clear well when properly installed. Our toilet installation service includes a new wax ring and supply line.

Faucets

Count the holes in your sink or counter, and look for models with replaceable cartridges so a future drip is an easy fix. See our faucet installation and repair page for more.

Water treatment

If you see scale or staining, a softener or filter protects whatever you install. We size water softeners to the household.

Common Plumbing Concerns in Minerva

Minerva's housing ranges from older homes near the village center to newer houses on its edges, with rural properties beyond. Here are the issues that come up most:

Older basements in the village sometimes have water heaters squeezed into tight corners with venting that would not meet current standards for a new unit. When we replace a heater, we check the vent, gas connection and relief valve discharge so the new equipment is set up correctly from the start.

• Aging water heaters in older basements
• Hard water scale on faucets and shower heads
• Frozen pipes in exterior walls during cold snaps
• Well equipment trouble on outlying properties
• Gas fireplaces and logs that will not light

Before We Arrive in an Emergency

Locate the main valve and close it. On village water it is usually near the meter; on a well, also switch off the pump breaker. If water is near outlets or appliances, cut the power at the panel if it is safe to reach. Then call 330-875-8003. We provide emergency plumbing and leak containment, damage inspections and insurance assistance.

Maintenance Agreement and Booking

Our plumbing maintenance plan runs $189 a year or $378 for three years. Members receive an annual inspection, priority service, emergency support, 10% off labor and materials and no service-charge minimums, with coverage that transfers and renews automatically.

We also install and repair gas fireplaces, gas lines, sump pumps and remodel plumbing. Call weekdays from 7:30 AM to 5:00 PM or Saturdays from 8:00 AM to noon for a free estimate.
