Water heaters, tankless units, sump and well pumps, fixtures, softeners, filtration and whole-home repipes. Riley’s licensed plumbers size it correctly, install it to code and pull the permit where your municipality requires one, throughout York, Dauphin and Cumberland Counties. Call 717-388-3697 to set up a consultation.
What We Install
- Water heaters: gas and electric tanks sized to real household demand, with new shutoffs, flex connectors, a drain pan where code requires one, and proper venting. Old unit hauled away.
- Tankless water heaters: endless hot water off a wall-mounted unit, with the gas line upsized where it needs to be, correct venting, condensate handled and an isolation valve kit so the unit can actually be descaled later.
- Sump pumps: new pumps, basins, check valves and discharge lines, plus battery or water-powered backup so a storm that takes the power out does not take the basement with it.
- Well pumps and pressure tanks: submersible and jet pump replacement, correctly sized tanks, and pressure switches set so you get steady pressure instead of a pump that cycles every ninety seconds.
- Kitchen and bathroom fixtures: sinks, faucets, toilets, tubs, shower valves and trim, laundry connections and hose bibbs, with new supply lines and shutoffs going in alongside the fixture.
- Garbage disposals matched to your sink, cabinet depth and circuit, mounted so the flange does not weep and drained so the second bowl does not back up.
- Whole-home repiping: replacing galvanized, polybutylene or failing copper with PEX or new copper. We plan wall access before we open anything, and we patch what we open.
- Water softeners: South Central PA has hard water. A properly sized softener protects the water heater, the fixtures and the dishwasher, and it is metered so it regenerates on your actual usage.
- Whole-home water filtration at the point of entry, so every tap in the house gets treated water, specified after we know what is actually in yours.
- Thermal expansion tanks: required on most closed systems and frequently missing. An expansion tank absorbs the pressure spike when the water heater fires so your fixtures and the tank itself do not.
- Sewer line replacement: full lateral replacement when a line is beyond repair, coordinated with the municipality and restored when we are done.
- Trenchless pipe lining to rehabilitate a failing sewer line from the inside, which keeps the driveway, the patio and the mature trees where they are.
Emergency Water Heater and Pump Replacement
Most installations get planned. Some do not. A water heater that splits its tank or a well pump that quits with no water in the house, is a replacement you need now rather than next week. Our plumbing line is answered 24 hours a day, so call 717-388-3697 and we will tell you honestly whether we can get the right unit in today or whether waiting until morning gets you a better result. Emergency or planned, you still get a written price before we start.
How Our Installations Work
- In-home consultation. We look at the space, take the measurements that matter, check your water pressure and hardness, and ask how the household actually uses water. If your gas line, venting or electrical needs to change, you hear it now rather than on installation day.
- A written quote and a plan. Equipment options with the trade-offs explained in plain terms, a price covering parts, labor, permits and haul-away, and a realistic timeline. You will also know what we need to open up and what we will do about it. Financing is available and you can get pre-approved before you commit.
- Installation, testing and walkthrough. Drop cloths down, new equipment in, system pressurized and tested for leaks, every affected fixture run before we pack up. Then we show you where the shutoffs are, how to flush the tank and what the warranty covers. Old equipment goes with us, and we register the new equipment so the manufacturer’s coverage actually starts.
Signs It Is Time to Replace Rather Than Repair
- Leaks that keep showing up in new places. One pinhole is a repair. A second and third in the same run means the pipe wall is thin throughout, and patching just relocates the next leak. Galvanized steel is the usual culprit in older York County homes.
- Discolored water, or grit at the aerators. Rust-colored water on the hot side means the water heater is corroding internally. On both sides it usually means the supply piping is.
- Water pressure that never really recovered. Decades of mineral scale narrows the inside of a pipe until it no longer moves the volume the house needs. You cannot clean that out, you replace the run.
- Pipe material with a known service life problem. Polybutylene, galvanized steel and any lead-containing joint or service line are worth replacing on your schedule rather than on theirs.
Not sure which side of that line you are on? A repair visit will tell you, and we quote both options when replacement is the better value.
Financing
Water heaters rarely fail at a convenient moment, and a repipe or sewer replacement is real money. The same financing we offer on HVAC systems applies to plumbing installations, so you can get pre-approved before you schedule and choose equipment with your monthly number already in hand.
