Precision Leaking Pipe Repair & Leak Detection
A leaking pipe can quietly cause significant structural damage, encourage mold growth, and inflate utility bills long before standing water becomes obvious. Whether you notice damp drywall, water spots on a ceiling, or an unexpected drop in water pressure, repairing pipe leaks promptly prevents extensive home damage.
Our approach to leaking pipe repair begins with systematic diagnostics. We inspect the affected piping—whether it is a pinhole leak in a copper line, a cracked PVC drain, or a leaking threaded joint under a sink—to determine the precise cause of failure. Instead of relying on quick temporary patches that break down over time, we provide long-lasting plumbing repairs. We walk you through our diagnostic findings, explaining where the pipe failed and showing you the best repair method to keep your system leak-free.
Kitchen Faucet Repair & Replacement
The kitchen faucet is one of the most heavily used fixtures in any household. When it begins dripping constantly from the spout, leaking around the handle, or losing water pressure, simple kitchen tasks become daily headaches. A leaking kitchen faucet can also waste hundreds of gallons of water each month.
Most kitchen faucet leaks stem from worn internal cartridges, degraded rubber O-rings, broken gaskets, or mineral buildup inside the aerator. We handle repairs for all fixture styles, including single-handle units, traditional two-handle faucets, and models equipped with pull-down spray hoses. During a service visit, we inspect the valve mechanism to determine if replacing internal repair parts will restore complete functionality. If your fixture is heavily corroded or outdated, we can recommend and install a quality replacement faucet that fits your kitchen sink and matches your style preferences.
Bathtub Installation & Bathroom Plumbing Upgrades
Upgrading your bathroom fixtures improves daily comfort and adds lasting value to your Dover home. Professional bathtub installation requires precise plumbing alignment, solid subfloor preparation, proper drain fittings, and watertight seals to protect your flooring and lower levels.
During a bathtub installation, we inspect the surrounding subfloor and framing to ensure it is level and capable of supporting the tub's full weight when filled with water. We often set new tubs on a dedicated mortar base to prevent flex, movement, or cracking over time. We then connect the waste and overflow assembly, water supply lines, and control valves with clean precision. Whether you are replacing an aging unit with a modern bathtub and shower combo, adding an accessible walk-in bathtub, or converting a tub area into a walk-in shower, Geer Plumbing Solutions handles every line connection according to local plumbing codes.
Sewer Line Replacement & Underground Excavation
A failing main sewer line is one of the most serious issues a property owner can face. Over time, underground sewer pipes can crack, belly, or collapse due to shifting soil, aging pipe material, or invasive tree roots. Gurgling toilets, slow drains across multiple rooms, or wet spots in your yard are common signs of main line deterioration.
To accurately evaluate your sewer pipe without unnecessary digging, we conduct high-resolution video camera sewer inspections. By feeding a specialized camera line directly into your sewer run, we identify the exact location, depth, and nature of any pipe collapse or root intrusion. When replacement is required, our team provides full underground excavation and sewer line replacement. We guide you through the process, explaining material options, project timelines, and practical steps to ensure long-term sewer reliability.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is considered a plumbing emergency?
A plumbing emergency generally involves active, uncontained water leaks or line blockages that threaten structural property damage or health hazards. Key examples include major burst water lines, severe sewage backing up through floor drains or fixtures, or a broken main water shut-off valve. In these situations, turning off your main water shut-off valve is the critical first step to prevent damage until professional repairs can be performed.
What do plumbers charge to replace a kitchen faucet?
The total cost to replace a kitchen faucet varies depending on factors such as the faucet design, ease of access under the sink, and whether existing shut-off valves or supply lines need replacement. Standard replacement involves disconnecting the old fixture, mounting the new unit, attaching water supply lines, and testing for watertight operation. For a clear, upfront estimate tailored to your kitchen, call Geer Plumbing Solutions at 330-432-8073.
Why does my kitchen faucet keep dripping, and how is it fixed?
A kitchen faucet usually drips because internal components such as cartridges, rubber O-rings, or seals have worn down, allowing water under pressure to bypass the closed valve. Fixing a dripping faucet involves turning off local water valves, taking apart the handle assembly, and replacing the degraded internal seals or cartridge with exact matching parts.
What steps are involved in installing a new bathtub?
Installing a bathtub requires disconnecting and removing the existing unit, evaluating the condition of the underlying floor framing, and preparing a level base—often using mortar to support the tub shell. The plumber then installs the waste and overflow drain assembly, connects supply valves and spouts, aligns the tub unit, and applies watertight seals along wall junctions before running complete water tests.
Is it hard to replace a bathtub with a walk-in shower?
Converting a bathtub into a walk-in shower requires modifying both supply lines and drain plumbing, as shower stalls typically require larger drain pipe sizes than standard tubs to accommodate higher water flow rates. The process involves removing the old tub, re-routing drain and valve connections, installing a sloped shower base, and finishing wall surfaces to create a secure, watertight enclosure.
