Water running from a faucet into a sink

Basic Plumbing

Basic plumbing covers the small fixture-level work a homeowner runs into most often: dripping faucets, running toilets, slow drains, leaking supply lines, and replacing a garbage disposal or shutoff valve.

Signs It’s Time to Call

  • A faucet that drips or a toilet that runs after the tank fills
  • A shutoff valve under a sink or toilet that will not turn or weeps when touched
  • A drain that empties slowly or gurgles
  • Water spots or swelling in the cabinet floor under a sink

What’s Usually Behind It

  • Worn washers, cartridges, and flappers past their service life
  • Mineral scale from hard well water seizing valves and clogging aerators
  • Corroded galvanized or brass fittings on older supply lines
  • Hair and grease buildup in traps and branch drains
NEPA context

Basic Plumbing in Northeastern Pennsylvania

Wells across Wayne, Pike, Susquehanna, and surrounding counties deliver hard water that scales up valves and cartridges faster than city water does. Rowhouses in Scranton, Dunmore, and the surrounding areas still carry original galvanized supply lines that corrode from the inside, and shutoff valves in Lake Ariel and Hawley cottages that sit unused through the winter often seize by the time the owner returns in spring.
