Since 2009, Dierolf Plumbing & Water Treatment has been a fixture in the Limerick community. We help homeowners navigate the unique challenges of local water quality and plumbing maintenance. The company was founded by Mark Dierolf. He brings over 25 years of hands on industry experience to every project. We understand that Limerick Township is more than just the busy stretch of Route 422 or the cooling towers that mark the skyline. It is a vibrant community of growing families and established neighborhoods. From the bustling shopping districts near the Philadelphia Premium Outlets to the quiet residential streets bordering Linfield, we know this area. We understand the plumbing infrastructure that powers it.
Limerick has seen explosive growth over the last two decades. Many homes in developments like the ones near Manderach Memorial Park were built between 1990 and 2010. These homes are now entering a critical maintenance phase. Water heaters are reaching the end of their lifespan. Original builder grade valves are failing. Water softeners installed fifteen years ago are no longer efficient. Our team does not just offer generic fixes. We provide solutions tailored to the specific age and condition of the housing stock in 19468.
Hard Water & Scale: The Silent Appliance Killer
The most common issue we encounter in Limerick is hard water. Whether you are supplied by Pennsylvania American Water or Aqua PA, the municipal water here is rich in calcium and magnesium minerals. While safe to drink, this water is aggressive toward your home. You will likely see white scale buildup on shower doors and faucets. The real damage happens where you cannot see it. Scale accumulates inside your water heater and narrows the copper piping in your walls. This forces your appliances to work harder and use more energy. We specialize in installing high efficiency water softeners. These systems protect your investment. They extend the life of your dishwasher and washing machine while giving you the luxury of softer skin and hair.
Chlorine and Taste Issues in Public Water
Residents in Limerick often complain about a distinct swimming pool smell in their tap water. This is due to chlorine used for municipal disinfection. While necessary for keeping water bacteria free during transport, many families prefer not to drink or bathe in chlorinated water. We offer whole home carbon filtration systems that remove chlorine before it ever reaches your tap. For families concerned about emerging contaminants like PFAS or PFOA which have been a topic of discussion in Montgomery County, we recommend point of use protection. A Reverse Osmosis system installed at your kitchen sink provides bottled water quality without the plastic waste. You can learn more about how we identify these issues in our guide on water chemistry.
Plumbing Maintenance for “Newer” Homes
Many homeowners in Limerick assume their homes are too new to have plumbing problems. The reality is different. Many homes built during the housing boom are now facing water pressure issues. High municipal water pressure can stress your internal pipes. This leads to leaks or banging noises known as water hammer. Our Licensed Master Plumbers can install or replace Pressure Reducing Valves (PRVs) to safeguard your home. We also handle routine water heater flushes and replacements to ensure you never wake up to a cold shower.
We are proud to live and work alongside you in this community. We enjoy a Friday night dinner at the Copperfield Inn at Lakeside just as much as you do. You might see our trucks parked near Limerick Bowl on a weekend or grabbing a coffee before a morning appointment. We support the local businesses that make Limerick great. Our goal is to ensure the water in your home is as high quality as the life you have built here. You can check the local water quality reports to see the baseline data we work with every day.

Common Questions from Limerick Homeowners
Why does my water smell like chlorine?
Municipal water suppliers use chlorine to keep the water supply safe from bacteria as it travels through miles of piping. While safe, the taste and smell can be unpleasant. A carbon filtration system effectively removes chlorine and improves the taste of your water immediately.
How long does a water heater last in Limerick?
Due to the hard water in our area, standard tank water heaters typically last 8 to 12 years. If you do not have a water softener, sediment buildup can shorten this lifespan significantly. If your heater is over 10 years old, it is wise to start planning for a replacement before it leaks.
Do I need a water softener if I have city water?
Yes. City water is treated for safety but not for hardness. The water in Limerick is hard enough to cause scale buildup in pipes and appliances. A softener is an investment in the longevity of your home’s plumbing infrastructure.
Recent 5 Star Feedback from Local Homeowners
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “Honest and efficient”
“We had Mark out to look at our water heater which was making strange noises. Instead of just trying to sell us a new one immediately, he flushed it out and checked the elements. He told us it has a few more years of life left. I really appreciated the honesty. We will definitely call Dierolf when it is time for the replacement.”
Sarah in Limerick, PA
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “Finally good tasting water”
“The chlorine smell in our new house was unbearable. We had the team install a reverse osmosis system in the kitchen. The installation was neat and tidy. The installer wore shoe covers and left the cabinet cleaner than he found it. The water tastes perfect now.”
Mike in Royersford, PA
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “Saved my basement”
“We had a pipe burst during a cold snap. Dierolf Plumbing responded quickly. Mark identified the issue and fixed it fast. He also suggested we adjust our pressure reducing valve because the pressure from the street was way too high. Great technical knowledge and fair pricing.”
