Since 2009, Dierolf Plumbing & Water Treatment has been a dedicated partner for homeowners in South Coventry Township. We know that South Coventry is distinct from its neighbors. While it shares the 19465 zip code with Pottstown, life here is different. It is defined by the rolling hills of “horse country,” the historic village of Pughtown, and the scenic beauty of French Creek. The company was founded by Mark Dierolf. He brings over 25 years of hands on industry experience to every project. Whether you live in a restored farmhouse on a large wooded lot near Coventry Woods or in a family home near the Shoppes at Pughtown, we understand the rural plumbing challenges you face.
South Coventry is primarily a community of private wells. Unlike the boroughs nearby that rely on municipal water, most homes here manage their own water supply. This independence comes with responsibility. The geology that makes this area beautiful also introduces complex water chemistry. We frequently tackle issues related to the agricultural history of the area and the mineral rich soil. We treat every well as a unique ecosystem. We analyze your specific water composition before we ever recommend a piece of equipment.
Well Water: The Iron and Acid Battle
If you live in South Coventry, you likely struggle with one of two major well water issues. First is iron. The groundwater here often contains dissolved iron that oxidizes when it hits the air. This leaves stubborn orange or brown stains on your toilets, laundry, and fixtures. Second is low pH. Many wells in the Pughtown area produce acidic water. Over time, this acid eats away at your copper pipes. This leads to blue green staining in your sinks and dangerous pinhole leaks behind your walls. We install acid neutralizers and iron filtration systems that solve these problems at the source.
Nitrates and Agricultural Runoff
The rural charm of South Coventry includes active farmland. However, this proximity to agriculture can lead to elevated nitrate levels in your well water. Nitrates are odorless and tasteless but can be harmful to health. This is especially true for young children and nursing mothers. We recommend annual testing for all South Coventry wells. If nitrates are found, we can design a custom filtration solution to keep your family safe. You can learn more about these invisible threats in our guide to demystifying water chemistry.
Hard Water is Still a Factor
Even with low pH, many wells in the area still test high for hardness. It is a tricky balance. You might have acidic water that corrodes pipes and hard water that scales up your water heater. This complex chemistry is why store bought “all in one” units often fail here. We specialize in multi stage treatment systems. We might install a neutralizer to balance the pH followed by a high efficiency water softener to remove the minerals. This protects your entire plumbing system from the inside out.
We are proud to serve the South Coventry community. We love seeing families enjoying a game at Connie Batdorf Park or hikers exploring the trails at the incredible Coventry Woods. You might see our trucks grabbing a slice at Bravo Pizza in the Shoppes at Pughtown between service calls. We support the local businesses and parks that make this township a hidden gem. Our goal is to ensure your water quality allows you to enjoy the peaceful, rural lifestyle you chose. You can always check the EPA private well resources for more information on maintaining your system.

Common Questions from South Coventry Homeowners
Why do I have blue-green stains in my sink?
Blue green stains are the hallmark of acidic water (low pH). This means your water is slowly dissolving your copper pipes. This is a common issue in South Coventry wells. We install acid neutralizers to balance the water and stop this corrosion immediately.
How often should I test my well in Pughtown?
We recommend testing your well water for bacteria (coliform) and nitrates at least once a year. It is also wise to check your pH and iron levels every 2 to 3 years or if you notice any changes in taste or color.
Can you fix my well pressure?
Yes. If your water pressure fluctuates or is constantly low, it is often a sign of a failing well pump or a waterlogged pressure tank. We carry replacement pumps and tanks on our trucks to get your pressure back to normal quickly.
