Bellefonte At a Glance

- Older galvanized piping at the heater is often corroded and needs a new section.
- Gas units here commonly vent into an original chimney that has to be checked for draft.
Water Heater Work in Bellefonte
Bellefonte is an incorporated town just northeast of Wilmington, built up in the early 1900s with bungalows and two-story houses on narrow lots. Water heaters sit in small basements with low ceilings and tight stairs, tied into piping that may be a century old in places. Replacements here mean measuring the stairway as well as the room, and renewing the connections at the heater.

Bellefonte Water Heater Questions
