Since 2009, Dierolf Plumbing & Water Treatment has been serving the homeowners of Skippack Township. We know that Skippack is much more than just a weekend destination for shopping and dining. It is a vibrant community with a rich history. The company was founded by Mark Dierolf. He brings over 25 years of hands on industry experience to every job. Whether you live in a restored farmhouse right off Skippack Pike or a modern estate in a newer development near Palmer Park, we understand the specific water challenges you face. We treat your home with the respect it deserves.
Skippack presents a unique challenge for plumbing and water treatment because of its diverse housing stock. We see everything from 200 year old stone homes with original piping to large custom builds with high flow demands. The water sources are just as varied. The village center and denser neighborhoods typically rely on public water. Meanwhile, the surrounding properties and larger lots often depend on private wells. This mix requires a plumber who understands both modern municipal systems and complex well water chemistry. We do not offer one size fits all solutions. We analyze your specific situation to provide the right fix.
Hard Water in the Village
For residents on public water, hard water is the primary enemy. The water supplied to Skippack is safe to drink but it is often rich in calcium and magnesium. These minerals are brutal on plumbing fixtures. You might notice scale buildup on your expensive faucets or shower glass. Inside your walls, that same scale is clogging your pipes and coating the heating elements in your water heater. This leads to higher energy bills and early appliance failure. We install high efficiency water softeners that remove these minerals. This protects your home’s infrastructure and preserves the life of your fixtures.
Well Water Concerns: Iron and Bacteria
If you live on the outskirts of the township, your private well faces different threats. We frequently find elevated levels of iron in Skippack wells. This causes orange staining on laundry and fixtures that is nearly impossible to scrub off. We also recommend regular testing for bacteria. Agricultural runoff and older septic systems can sometimes compromise well water safety. We recommend and install ultraviolet (UV) disinfection systems. This technology neutralizes bacteria without adding chemicals to your water. To learn more about what might be in your water, read our guide on demystifying water chemistry.
Protecting Historic Plumbing
Skippack is famous for its history. Many homes here have plumbing systems that have been pieced together over decades. Old galvanized pipes can restrict flow and introduce rust into your water. Older solder joints may even contain lead. Our Licensed Master Plumbers are experts at navigating these older systems. We can perform honest inspections and suggest surgical updates rather than unnecessary full tear outs. We help you modernize your plumbing while keeping the charm of your historic home intact.
We love being part of the Skippack community. We enjoy a great meal at Parc Bistro just as much as you do. You might see us picking up supplies for our own gardens at Floral & Hardy or taking a walk at Palmer Park. We support the local businesses that give this town its character. Our goal is to ensure the water in your home is perfect so you can focus on enjoying life in this beautiful township. You can always check the EPA resources for more public data on local water quality.

Common Questions from Skippack Homeowners
Is the water in Skippack hard?
Yes. Both the public water supply and private wells in Skippack typically test as hard to very hard. A water softener is standard equipment for most homes here to prevent scale buildup and protect appliances.
My well water leaves orange stains. What is that?
Orange or reddish stains are usually caused by dissolved iron in your well water. As the water hits the air, the iron oxidizes and leaves rust deposits. We can install specific iron filtration systems to eliminate this problem completely.
Can you work on plumbing in very old homes?
Absolutely. Mark Dierolf and our team have extensive experience working with the unique challenges of historic homes found throughout Skippack. We know how to update plumbing carefully without damaging the integrity of the structure.
