Frequently Asked Dillsburg, PA Plumbing Questions
I live in the Chestnut Hill or Mountain View subdivision. Why should I be worried about the gray water pipes in my home?
Homes in these Dillsburg neighborhoods were largely built between 1980 and 1995, a peak era for the installation of Polybutylene (PB) piping. These gray plastic pipes are chemically incompatible with the chlorine used in public water supplies. Over time, the chlorine degrades the pipe walls from the inside out, leading to sudden, catastrophic bursts. We offer non-invasive inspections to verify if your home has PB piping and can provide options for preventative repiping with durable PEX or copper before a flood occurs.
My grinder pump alarm is going off. Can I just borrow a pump from Carroll Township?
While Carroll Township does maintain a limited supply of emergency loaner pumps, they are a temporary stop-gap, not a permanent solution. The loaner policy is strict: the pump must be returned within 30 days, thoroughly cleaned and in good working condition, or you will be billed for the unit. Furthermore, the Township mandates that only licensed plumbers perform the installation and removal. If your alarm is sounding, stop using water immediately (no flushing or showers) and call us. We can manage the emergency replacement and ensure you comply with Township regulations.
The water in my Dillsburg home leaves white crusty deposits on my faucets. Is this harmful to my plumbing?
Yes. Dillsburg water is geologically classified as "Hard" to "Very Hard" (typically 10–18 grains per gallon) due to the limestone and conglomerate rock formations in our aquifer. That "white crust" is calcium scale. Inside your water heater, this scale acts as an insulator, causing electric elements to burn out and gas heat exchangers to overheat and fail prematurely. It also destroys the rubber seals in toilets and the ceramic discs in modern faucets. We recommend installing a high-efficiency water softener to protect your home's infrastructure.
I have a private well near the "Barrens" or rockier parts of Dillsburg. What should I test for besides bacteria?
In the diabase (trap rock) geology common to the Dillsburg ridges, there is a natural risk of Arsenic contamination. Arsenic is released from the rock minerals into the groundwater and is tasteless and odorless. Standard water softeners do not remove it. We strongly advise a comprehensive water test that includes Arsenic screening. If detected, we can install a targeted Reverse Osmosis or Iron Oxide filtration system to ensure your water is safe.
I want to switch to a Tankless Water Heater. Are there any local rebates available?
Yes! If your home is served by UGI Utilities or Columbia Gas, you may be eligible for a rebate of $400 for installing an ENERGY STAR® certified tankless water heater. If you install a high-efficiency Combi-Boiler (heating + hot water), UGI rebates can go as high as $1,500. For electric customers (Met-Ed), there are rebates for Hybrid Heat Pump Water Heaters. We stay up-to-date on all current Pennsylvania utility rebate programs and can help you select a qualifying unit.
What is the "frost line" in Dillsburg, and why does it matter for my new water line?
The regulatory frost line in Carroll Township and Dillsburg Borough is 36 inches. This is the depth to which the ground is expected to freeze during a severe winter. Any new water service line or sewer lateral must be buried below this 36-inch depth to prevent freezing and bursting. For outdoor plumbing that can't be buried (like hose bibs), we install frost-free sillcocks that shut off the water deep within the heated envelope of your home.
I own a historic home in Dillsburg Borough. Can I vent a new high-efficiency furnace or water heater out the front of my house?
Likely not. Dillsburg’s historic district guidelines generally prohibit modern mechanical venting or equipment from being visible on the primary street-facing façade to preserve the architectural character of the borough. We specialize in "historic retrofits," finding creative ways to route PVC venting through chimneys or to the rear of the property to give you modern efficiency without violating zoning codes or ruining your home's curb appeal.
Why does my water smell like chlorine?
The Dillsburg Area Authority uses chlorine to disinfect the public water supply, which is essential for killing bacteria. However, depending on your proximity to a dosing station, residual chlorine levels can be noticeable. Beyond the taste and smell, chlorine can dry out your skin and hair and accelerate the degradation of rubber plumbing seals. We can install a Whole-House Carbon Filter which removes chlorine and its byproducts (like Bromodichloromethane) after it enters your home, giving you spa-quality water from every tap.
My basement sump pump pit has a loose lid. Is that an issue?
In York County, absolutely. Our area is designated as Radon Zone 1 (Highest Potential). An unsealed sump pit acts as a chimney, drawing soil gases, including radioactive radon, directly into your basement. We install sealed, air-tight sump pump lids with proper gaskets. This allows the pump to handle water effectively while maintaining the integrity of your home's protection against radon gas.
