Local problems
Common plumbing problems in Lancaster homes
Old city homes, suburban houses and farm country each bring their own problems.
Aging sewer lines
Clay and cast iron lines under older city homes crack and let roots in. Our sewer line repair service finds and fixes the break.
Old galvanized pipes
Rusted steel pipes lower the pressure and leak. Our repiping service replaces them.
Wet basements
Spring rain and snowmelt push water in. Our sump pump repair service keeps basements dry.
Slow drains
Grease and buildup in older kitchen and main drains. Our drain cleaning service clears them.
Frozen pipes
Pipes in crawl spaces and on outside walls freeze on cold nights. Check tonight's risk with our pipe freeze checker.
