What do Feasterville-Trevose homes call a plumber for?
Feasterville-Trevose calls to our plumbers come down to two things most of the time: drains that have slowed or stopped, and water heaters that are not keeping up. We clear drains at the fixture or from the main depending on how many fixtures are affected, and we repair gas, electric and tankless heaters before recommending a replacement.
Feasterville-Trevose crosses two Bucks County townships, Lower Southampton and Bensalem, and borders the Somerton section of Philadelphia. Street Road, Bustleton Pike and Route 1 carry most of the traffic, and it is a short run from our office on Huntingdon Pike.
Homes and businesses along Street Road both call us. In a house the drain calls are kitchens and tubs; in a shop or restaurant they are floor drains and grease-heavy kitchen lines. Water heater calls cover tank units and the tankless heaters that need descaling to keep running smoothly. For a business, we plan the work so the restrooms and kitchen stay usable for as much of the day as possible.
Water heater trouble in a Bucks County house
Construction from 1980 onward makes up more than 40 percent of Bucks County housing today. Whatever the age of a house, the heater in it may well have been replaced since it was built, so we judge a heater by the date on its label, the condition of the tank and the venting, not by when the house went up.
Tankless heaters have a different wear pattern. Scale builds inside the heat exchanger, the unit throws error codes and the shower runs cold in bursts. A descale through the service valves usually puts it right; ignition and flame faults need a closer look at the burner and sensors. For drains, see our drain cleaning page.

Feasterville-Trevose plumbing questions
Nearby areas we also cover:
Scale on the heat exchanger, a dirty inlet filter or a flow rate too low to keep the burner lit are the usual causes. Descaling and cleaning the filter fix most of them. If it still cuts out, we check the gas supply and ignition.
Yes. Restaurant kitchens, salons and office restrooms all get drain clearing and repairs, and we work around your hours where we can. Backups during business hours are answered at any time.
When the tank is dry and sound, yes. A failed thermocouple, gas valve or element costs far less than a new heater. Once the tank itself leaks, repair is no longer an option.
Grease, stringy peels, large amounts of coffee grounds, bones, and pasta or rice in quantity. They jam the unit or settle in the drain line past it. Run cold water during and after use.
