Shillington's unique plumbing challenges

About 103 nights a year below freezing, when uninsulated crawlspace lines give out

The oldest blocks in town run plumbing decades older than the newer builds toward Kenhorst

First frost typically lands around November 1

Seasonal timing

A first frost near Nov 1 sets the depth the ground freezes to, and everything that freezes has to drain back out once April warms past 63 degrees.

Common questions

How much does a plumber cost?

It depends on the job and how bad the problem is. That is why the first step is a phone call. Describe the problem and get your free estimate on the phone, with upfront pricing.

Will I talk to a real person?

Yes, you will.

Do I need to fill out a form?

No forms and no waiting on emailed quotes. One phone call is all it takes.

Can I get help at night or on a weekend?

We have plumbers ready to help families in the community 24/7, but moment-to-moment availability depends on demand. Call to find out how soon we can service your home.

Should I wait to call?

You already know that plumbing problems don't go away on their own. And waiting just increases the risks to your house. Plumbers see this hesitation all the time. Instead of regretting not calling earlier, just make that 2-minute call now and get your free estimate.

People also ask

Does the borough own the water line running into my basement?

The homeowner normally owns the service line from the curb stop into the house, while the utility owns the main under the street. That split decides who pulls the permit and who pays when a leak surfaces in the yard. If you don't know where your curb stop sits, the water utility can usually come mark it.

My pit is full and the pump is humming. What is going on?

Usually the discharge line is still frozen or blocked somewhere past the wall. The pump keeps pushing against a closed pipe, which cooks the motor while the pit stays full. Shutting it off at the breaker until someone can look at the line prevents the expensive version of the problem.

The pit stays dry but the floor is wet. What does that suggest?

Sometimes, depending on what is wrong with it. Silt can often be jetted out, while a crushed or collapsed section cannot. A scope tells you which case you have before anyone commits to breaking up floor.

Should I check the outside spigot before the ground thaws?

Check that it runs clean and doesn't weep once water is back on, since a split from the freeze often stays hidden until spring pressure finds it. The damage usually appears on the ceiling below the spigot rather than outside. Catching it early keeps it small.
