Plumbing problems Norton homeowners call about
Norton became a city on January 11, 1969, and its 2020 census population was 11,673. Lot sizes and house ages vary from street to street, so the plumbing does too.
Clogged drains, water heater failures and slow sewer lines are the calls we plan for first. Our drain cleaning crew carries cable machines for branch lines and mains, and a water heater repair visit starts with the cheap fixes before anything is sold.
Water and sewer through a Barberton partnership
Norton's water and sewer service comes through a partnership with the City of Barberton, according to Norton's own city pages. Urgent water interruptions are reported to Barberton's water plant line, while billing and new service questions go to the utilities office.
That tie matters for two reasons. If the water goes off, contact the utility first to learn whether the outage is on the system side, then call us if the trouble is inside your house. And Barberton-supplied water carries the same hardness, about 170 mg/L in the city's latest report, which affects water heaters and fixtures in Norton homes.
Before we arrive in Norton
Our emergency dispatch for Norton is available around the clock. These four steps limit damage while a plumber is on the way.
Shut off the main
Find the main valve where the line enters the house and turn it to the closed position.
Kill power to wet areas
Switch off breakers for rooms with standing water if you can reach the panel dry.
Clear the area
Lift rugs and electronics, and keep children and pets out of the wet room.
Call the 24/7 line
Tell the dispatcher your street, the fixture involved and whether water is still flowing.
Old canal ground and low basements
The Ohio and Erie Canal ran through southeastern Norton from 1827 to 1913. Low ground near old waterways tends to hold moisture, so properties in that part of town are the ones to watch for damp basements.
If your basement stays damp after heavy rain, a working sump pump and a clear discharge line are the first defense. Ask about a battery backup before storm season, because power often fails in the same storm that fills a pit.
