Plumber in Kennett Square, PA

The commercial calls in Kennett Square come from the mushroom farming and packing facilities that surround the borough — operations that move a lot of water and depend on drainage that holds up under that load. Roof drains on these buildings, water lines serving the operation, and drain systems handling process water are the work that keeps a facility running. Rich works with the facility operators directly, because in an agricultural-industrial building the plumbing is not a separate concern — it is part of what keeps the operation going.

On the roof drain side specifically, the flat and low-slope roofs on these facilities depend on drainage that can keep up. Clogged strainers, cracked drain bodies, and failed leaders mean ponding water, which on a facility roof adds weight and eventually finds its way inside. Rich clears, repairs, and replaces the failed parts of the roof drain system, and he handles redesigns where the original drainage was undersized for the roof it serves.

On the residential borough side, the calls are the familiar older-housing work — aging supply lines, buried sewer laterals, and water heaters reaching the end of their life. The mushroom facilities and the borough homes are two different kinds of work, but both come down to the systems that handle water, and both are regular parts of what we do in Kennett Square.
