How Long Will Your Water Heater Last?

With the right maintenance and care, your home's hot water heater should last a long time. In general, a well-kempt water heater should last more than ten years. Like all things, however, nothing lasts forever. With time, your water heater will get to a point where it will need heavy maintenance or even replacement before your life is interrupted.

At Delk Plumbing, our team of experts can help repair or replace your home's water heater - whichever is best for your budget and your situation.

Plumbers Drain Cleaning FAQS

As North Charleston's top choice for plumbing services since 1978, we've learned a thing or two about drain cleaning over the years. To keep yourself educated and up-to-date, here are answers to some of the most common questions we're asked:

Q:How many times per year should I have my drains cleared?

A:That all depends on what's going down your drains and how often they're used. If you have a large family, leftover grease from food and hair from showers will cause clogs quickly. In this scenario, you should clear your drains often. If you live alone and don't use your kitchen or laundry drains often, you shouldn't have to clear them as frequently as a large family.

Q:More than one of my drains is moving slowly. What's happening?

A:When two or more drains are moving slowly, you may have a main sewer line problem. These clogs are often caused by wet wipes, tree roots, and kitchen grease.

Q:How do you clean clogged drains?

A:That depends on the type of drain that's clogged. You can clean sink drains with simple household items like vinegar and baking soda. Other drains, like bathtub drains, are best cleaned with a zip stick to remove hairballs. If you're unsure how to clean a clogged drain, it's always best to rely on professional plumbers like Delk Plumbing. Don't make the situation worse than it already is!

James Island community pushes back as discussions for potential development continue

JAMES ISLAND, S.C. (WCIV) — Taylor Consulting Group has been working since 2019 on a proposal to build a development on 6.52 acres along Dills Bluff Road on James Island. The plan proposes building a storage facility along with a brand new housing development, and it would also bring around 10 new homes into the area as well. Some people living on James Island have been against the development from the beginning.

"Between the petitions, the calls for action to conduct an environmental study to just preserving it as a park or some other type of use," John Peters, who lives on James Island, said. "That would enhance James island and the growth of James Island."

Their concerns haven't gone unnoticed. Over the years, there have been many changes made to the proposal, but some community members would rather see the space preserved, or turned into an area for green space and recreation use.

"They're going to be cutting hundreds of trees to build both the storage facility and the residential park," Melissa Lubey, who started a petition to gain the attention of the community, said. That petition now has over a thousand signatures.

"I'm not a business owner, but from a business perspective, I would turn it into something that makes the PSD money, like a market space that could enhance," Peters said when asked about what he would like the space used for. "They could rent out the spaces to vendors, local vendors. We have them all the time in this area, where they come out and they attend events."

News 4 brought these concerns to James Island Mayor Brook Lyon who said there's not much the town can do since the property is owned by the public service district. She said she has looked into the possibility for the town to buy the land from the developer.

"Sure would love for the town to be able to buy all or part of it at the very least for parks for our citizens," Mayor Lyon said. "It's a huge deal, we have reached out to the public service district as well as the potential buyer through our attorneys and let them know that we would love to purchase it."

Monday night's meeting will be the last public meeting before the sale is potentially finalized on Friday, March 1. The meeting will be held at James Island's Fire Station #1 starting at 7 p.m.

News 4 also reached out to the Public Service District and the developer for comment but have not yet heard back.

NOAA awards contract for renovations to research ship pier in North Charleston, SC

NOAA has awarded $59.8 million to Manson Construction Company to renovate the agency’s pier facility in North Charleston, South Carolina. The pier is integral to safe and efficient research ship operations in the area, with work expected to be completed in 2026.

The renovations will include demolishing and building a new pier that includes shoreside power for ships, as well as a warehouse, sea wall and living shoreline, and other supporting infrastructure. Reconstruction of the pier and other facility upgrades will allow NOAA ships Ronald H. Brown and Nancy Foster to once again have a designated place to dock and better accommodate research missions in the Atlantic. Both ships are homeported in Charleston.

“Many of NOAA’s investments in infrastructure over the next several years are made possible because of funds from the Inflation Reduction Act,” said NOAA Administrator Rick Spinrad, Ph.D. “Projects like this one to replace an aging NOAA facility along with other efforts to improve our supercomputing capacity and strengthen NOAA's hurricane hunter fleet would not be possible without this historic funding.”

The design and construction of the pier and supporting infrastructure is funded in part by the Inflation Reduction Act — a historic $3.3 billion investment to help communities, including tribes and vulnerable populations, prepare, adapt and build resilience to weather and climate events in pursuit of a climate-ready nation. The act also supports improvements to weather and climate data and services, and strengthens NOAA’s fleet of research airplanes and ships.

“Our ships cannot efficiently complete their critical work without safe and reliable shoreside infrastructure,” said NOAA Corps Rear Adm. Nancy Hann, director of NOAA Marine and Aviation Operations and the NOAA Commissioned Officer Corps. “Investing in our infrastructure ensures that NOAA can meet essential at-sea data collection requirements for the economic security, public safety and national security for many years to come. This award comes on the heels of our ribbon-cutting ceremony in Ketchikan, Alaska, for our new facility there and I am grateful for these facilities to support our ships.”

This contract was awarded following a request for proposals that was open January–May 2023.

NOAA’s fleet of 15 research and survey ships are operated, managed and maintained by NOAA Marine and Aviation Operations. The fleet ranges from large oceanographic research vessels capable of exploring the world’s deepest ocean, to smaller ships responsible for charting the shallow bays and inlets of the U.S. The vessels support a wide range of marine activities, including fisheries surveys, nautical charting and ocean and climate studies. NOAA ships are operated by NOAA Corps officers and civilian professional mariners.
