"So, as mentioned before, I did end up sourcing my vanity top and vanity elsewhere. I ended up getting Home Depot to do both. (Hope Depot outsourced to other contractors of course.) The price and quality from Home Depot was better than my other choices. But this review is about First State, so let me return to talking about them. First State was perfect in everything they did. * The sales process was very smooth and responsive. * They had a bit of backlog, so I had to wait a bit, but they were very communicative throughout the process and scheduling was more than satisfactory. * They were extremely flexible with dealing with my external vendor (for the vanity top installation). They were VERY accommodating and appreciated it. * They did high quality work. On all parts: tub work, tile work, plumbing work, vanity work. As well as in keeping disruption to a minimum and professionalism. * They were very communicative and responsive about when they would show up, what work would happen when, and dealing with the whole process. * They went above and beyond on several minor things that were not in the contract."

"Overall, a great job. Installers were professional, courteous and hard working. Cleaned up, vacuumed. Installed by Jake M., Kevin, Zach P, and Bill. There was a plumbing issue and the installers immediately had Bill, master plumber, come out to fix it. Took 2 days instead of one due to the plumbing issue. My only complaint is that my salesman, Drew W. did not call me back when I reached out to him with a concern. Very happy with the finished project. Kudos to Jake, Kevin, Bill and Zach on a job well done."

Plumbing questions, answered by experts

Keep freeze prevention supplies on hand to protect vulnerable crawl space pipes during cold DE winters. You should also maintain materials to winterize exterior hose bibs. Because the local groundwater is moderately hard, keep descaling tools available for routine plumbing maintenance on aerators and showerheads. Finally, prepare for heavy seasonal rainfall by keeping sump pump supplies accessible and ensuring you know the exact location of your main emergency shutoff valve.

Helpful?

The climate in Bear directly affects residential plumbing. Winter temperatures drop into the 20s, putting exterior hose bibs and uninsulated crawl space pipes at high risk of freezing. The mid-Atlantic freeze-thaw cycle also stresses pipe joints and underground lines. During humid summers, cold water pipes develop heavy condensation that damages basements. Additionally, seasonal heavy rainfall and high groundwater levels stress older sewer laterals and create backflow issues.

Helpful?

Schedule plumbing upgrades if your home experiences reduced water pressure or discoloration, as these point to supply line corrosion. After severe DE winter freezes or major storms, inspect crawl space pipes and outdoor drainage for fractures. If your house was built between 1978 and 1995, hire a professional to check for failure-prone polybutylene pipes. Furthermore, pre-1986 homes require prompt inspections to identify and replace hazardous lead-based solder in copper systems.

Helpful?

As homes age in Bear, plumbing requires more extensive intervention. In their first two decades, systems remain largely low-maintenance, requiring only water heater replacements. Between 20 and 40 years, you face fixture degradation from mineral scale, sewer lateral root intrusion, and polybutylene pipe failures. Once homes surpass 40 years, expect system-level replacements. A licensed professional must replace corroding galvanized steel lines, failing cast iron drains, and aging sewer laterals.

Helpful?

For plumbing projects in Bear, choose materials that withstand local conditions. The regional water supply is moderately hard, which accelerates corrosion in certain metal pipes. You should use approved materials like PVC, CPVC, PEX, and copper for residential systems. Because local clay soils shift seasonally, underground lines require flexible materials. Always ensure your materials meet state plumbing code standards and pass local county inspections.
