We are committed to providing top-quality services to ensure that you have hot water whenever you need it.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Yes, we do both! We service, repair, and replace all major tankless water heater brands, including gas, propane, and electric systems commonly found in Delmarva homes.

What we help with:

  • Fluctuating hot water or “cold-water sandwiching”
  • Mineral buildup or scale from hard local water
  • Error codes or ignition issues
  • Low water pressure
  • System flushing and descaling
  • End-of-life replacement recommendations

If your tankless water heater won’t keep up in winter, it could be due to colder incoming groundwater temperatures on the Eastern Shore. A quick diagnostic can determine if a repair is enough or if replacement is more cost-effective.

On Delmarva, where many homes have moderate to hard water, tankless systems should be flushed at least every 12 months. If you notice fluctuating temperatures, reduced flow, or frequent error codes, flushing may be needed every 6 months.

Regular descaling:

  • Improves hot water consistency
  • Reduces mineral buildup in heat exchangers
  • Extends system life and efficiency

Homeowners with well water should strongly consider annual flushing. Learn more by reading the PepUp FAQs about tankless water heater maintenance.

Yes. Our plumbers handle frozen, leaking, or burst pipes throughout winter, especially during sudden temperature drops that Delmarva sees between December and February.

We can help with:

  • Thawing frozen pipes safely
  • Repairing cracked or burst copper, PEX, or PVC lines
  • Locating leaks behind walls or under crawlspaces
  • Restoring water pressure after a freeze
  • Preventing repeat freezing issues

If you currently have a frozen pipe, turn off your main water supply right away and call for immediate service. If you are unable to turn off water at the meter, call us anyway and let us know so we can do that right away when we get there.

Freezing temperatures can hit Delmarva suddenly, especially overnight. Preventing frozen pipes is one of the easiest ways to avoid winter plumbing emergencies.

To prevent frozen pipes:

  • Keep your thermostat set to at least 55°F, even when away.
  • Open kitchen and bathroom cabinet doors to let warm air reach pipes.
  • Let one faucet drip during extreme cold to keep water moving.
  • Disconnect outdoor hoses; cover exterior spigots.
  • Insulate exposed pipes in crawl spaces, garages, and unfinished areas.
  • Seal foundation cracks or gaps that allow cold air to hit plumbing.

Homes on the Eastern Shore with crawlspaces or exterior-facing plumbing are especially vulnerable, yet a little extra insulation and heat tape are cheap insurance against the potential damage frozen pipes can cause.

Turn off your main water supply first. The valve is usually in a crawlspace, utility room, or meter box. Turn the handle 90 degrees clockwise to stop the flow, then drain a faucet and call us for plumbing repairs.

How to Locate and Shut Off Your Main Water Supply Quickly

1. Find the main water shut-off valve, usually located where the water line enters your home.

  • Crawlspace homes: Look near the front foundation wall or under the kitchen/bathroom area.
  • Slab homes: Often in a utility room, laundry room, or near the water heater.
  • Coastal/vacation homes: May be on an exterior wall or inside a meter box near the street.

2. Identify the type of valve:

  • Ball valve: Lever handle, turn it ¼ turn until it’s perpendicular to the pipe.
  • Gate valve: Round knob, turn it clockwise until it stops.

3. If you can’t find an indoor valve:

  • Go to the meter box near the street (often labeled “Water”).
  • Lift the lid carefully.
  • Turn the valve 90 degrees clockwise using your hand, pliers, or a meter key.

4. Drain remaining water:

  • Open a faucet at the lowest level (like a basement or first-floor tub).
  • This relieves pressure and slows leaking.

5. Cut power to the affected area if water reaches outlets or appliances.

  • Use the circuit breaker; never touch wet electrical devices.
  • Call a plumber immediately and do not attempt to thaw or repair major damage yourself.

This usually happens when frozen ground forces melting snow and rain to flow directly toward your foundation, causing your sump pump to work nonstop. High groundwater levels across Delmarva’s low-lying or coastal areas also increase pump activity after heavy winter storms.

A constantly running sump pump can signal:

  • A stuck float switch
  • A failing check valve
  • Groundwater intrusion from high water tables
  • Drainage problems around your foundation

If the pump doesn’t cycle off, it should be inspected to prevent motor burnout or flooding.

Frozen soil and drainage areas can cause crawlspace flooding during winter thaws or storms. To prevent this:

  • Ensure your sump pump and drain lines are clear and insulated
  • Improve grading so water flows away from the foundation
  • Add a vapor barrier or crawlspace encapsulation
  • Keep gutters and downspouts clear and extended 6–10 feet
  • Seal foundation cracks and cold-air gaps

Homes on the Eastern Shore with shallow foundations and high groundwater benefit most from both improved drainage and crawlspace encapsulation upgrades.

Yes. Winter storms sometimes cause power outages across Delmarva, and outages typically happen while groundwater is rising. A sump pump battery backup keeps your pump running when you need it most, preventing basement or crawlspace flooding.

Backups are recommended if you:

  • Rely on your pump during heavy rain or snowmelt
  • Live in a low-lying or coastal area
  • Have an older home with high groundwater or a history of moisture issues

Battery backups typically run 4-8 hours, depending on pump size and running time.
