Your Local Plumber Serving Somers, NY
DeGasperi & Son Plumbing & Heating has been fixing pipes, water heaters, and fixtures for Westchester County homeowners since 1980. Our shop sits about 15 minutes from Somers, which means a truck can usually be at your door quickly instead of hours later.
We’ve worked on homes throughout Somers, from the condo clusters at Heritage Hills to properties along the Route 100 corridor and out toward the reservoirs. Each area brings its own plumbing quirks, and our crew has seen most of them.
Plumbing Challenges We See in Somers Homes
A lot of Somers housing stock went up between the 1970s and 1990s, which puts much of the original plumbing at 30 to 50 years old. Galvanized supply lines corrode from the inside, old shut-off valves seize up, and water heaters installed decades ago finally give out. If your home hasn’t had a plumbing update since it was built, you’re due for at least an inspection.
Water source is another variable here. Some Somers neighborhoods run on municipal water, while others rely on private wells — each with different maintenance needs. Well systems need attention to pressure tanks, pumps, and sediment filtration that municipal-water homes simply don’t deal with. We service both and can tell you what your setup needs based on age and water source.
Heritage Hills deserves a specific mention. As a large condo and townhouse community built mostly in the 1970s and 1980s, it has shared plumbing infrastructure alongside unit-level fixtures, and a lot of that original piping is reaching the end of its service life. We’ve handled leak repairs, fixture replacements, and water heater swaps for residents there and understand the layout constraints that come with condo plumbing work.
Around Somers Town Center, we mostly see the standard mix: slow leaks under sinks, aging toilets that run constantly, and water heaters that were installed when the house was built and never replaced since.

Water Heaters in Somers Homes
Water heaters are the single most common replacement we handle in Somers, and the timing is fairly predictable — most tanks give ten to fifteen years, less where the water is hard. Rusty hot water, a tank that runs out sooner than it used to, or moisture around the base are the signs worth acting on before the tank opens up. We install both tank and tankless units and will tell you honestly which suits the household, since tankless is a real gain for some homes and an expensive complication in others.
Repiping and Older Supply Lines
Homes built here through the 1970s often still carry their original supply piping, and galvanized steel corrodes from the inside where you cannot see it. The first sign is usually pressure — a shower that weakens when someone runs a tap elsewhere. We can repipe a section or a whole house depending on what the inspection turns up, and we would rather show you the condition of the pipe and let you plan the work than push a full repipe you do not need yet.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you work on well water systems in Somers?
Yes. Many Somers properties, particularly those outside the town center, run on private wells. We service pressure tanks, pumps, and related plumbing alongside standard fixture and pipe work.
Do you service condo communities like Heritage Hills?
Yes, we regularly work in Heritage Hills and similar condo/townhouse communities, handling both in-unit plumbing and coordinating around shared building systems where needed.
How do I know if my supply lines need replacing?
Falling water pressure, discolored water after the house has sat unused, and repeated pinhole leaks all point to pipe nearing the end of its life. We inspect and show you what we find before recommending a repipe.
