Small-Town Plumbing Service for Mogadore

A Village on the County Line

Because Mogadore straddles two counties, residents sometimes wonder which contractors cover them. We serve the whole village. Our shop in East Canton is about 19 miles away in a straight line, and we work regularly in Lakemore, Tallmadge, Hartville, Akron and Munroe Falls.

That puts Mogadore comfortably inside our regular area, whether the job is a dripping faucet or a full water heater replacement.

Plumbing in Mogadore's Older Homes

The village center has many houses built in the first half of the twentieth century. Those homes tend to share a few traits: original or partly replaced galvanized supply lines, cast iron drains, and basements that have seen a few decades of moisture. Outside the core, newer homes on bigger lots bring a different mix, sometimes including private wells or long service lines.

Here are the issues we run into most often around Mogadore:

• Rust-colored water and weak flow from old galvanized pipe
• Basement drains that back up during heavy rain
• Water heaters that rumble or leak from sediment buildup
• Well pressure problems on rural parcels
• Hose bibs and laundry lines that freeze in unheated spaces

Services Available in Mogadore

Our Mogadore work covers repairs, replacements and new installations. When galvanized pipe is at the end of its life, we replace it with copper or PEX; our PEX system service page explains why that material is often a good fit for older homes. If your drain lines are slow or backing up, our drain cleaning work is usually the first step.

We also install water heaters, softeners and fixtures, run gas lines and service well equipment. Small shops and offices in the village get the same attention as homes.

A Seasonal Checklist for Mogadore Homes

Small steps through the year help an older house avoid the most common failures. Here is the routine we suggest to Mogadore homeowners:

• Fall: disconnect hoses, shut off and drain outdoor spigots, and insulate pipes in unheated spaces
• Winter: keep cabinet doors open on outside walls during deep cold and leave the heat on if you travel
• Spring: test the sump pump and check basement walls for new seepage
• Summer: drain a few gallons from the water heater to clear sediment and check the relief valve

Handling a Flood Before We Arrive

Emergency plumbing and leak containment is part of what we do. If you have a supply leak, close the main shutoff and turn off the water heater. On a well, switch off the pump at its breaker. If water is coming up through a floor drain instead, stop using sinks, toilets and appliances until we can look at the line.

Move valuables, photograph the damage and call 330-875-8003. After the problem is fixed, we offer plumbing damage inspections and help with insurance claims.

Yearly Inspections and Scheduling

If your Mogadore house is older, an annual inspection is a good way to stay ahead of failures. Our maintenance agreement costs $189 for a year or $378 for three. It includes the inspection, priority scheduling, emergency support, a 10% discount on labor and materials and no service-charge minimums, with transferable coverage and automatic renewal.

Call Monday through Friday, 7:30 AM to 5:00 PM, or Saturday from 8:00 AM to noon. We provide a free estimate, you approve the specifications, and the finished work gets a quality inspection.
