Local problems
Common plumbing problems in York homes
York has a lot of older homes, cold winters and hard water. These are the problems we see most.
Low water pressure
Old galvanized pipes rust inside and choke the flow. Our water line repair service replaces them with copper or PEX.
Frozen pipes in row homes
Pipes along outside walls and in cold basements freeze on January nights. Our burst pipe repair service thaws and fixes them.
Worn-out water heaters
Hard water builds scale in the tank. Our water heater repair service fixes no-hot-water calls fast.
Slow and backed-up drains
Decades of grease and buildup in old drain lines. We clear them with snaking or hydro jetting.
Wet basements
Heavy rain and snowmelt push water into basements, especially in low spots near Codorus Creek. We repair and add sump pumps.

Why do older York homes have so many drain and sewer problems?
Many homes in and around the city were built long ago with cast iron or clay sewer pipes. Over time these pipes crack, rust and let tree roots in, which causes slow drains and backups. A camera inspection shows exactly what is going on.
Who is responsible for the sewer line from my York home?
In most cases the homeowner is responsible for the sewer lateral, the pipe from the house to the public sewer main. The city or township usually owns the main. Check with your local sewer authority to confirm for your property.
Do older York homes have lead water pipes?
Some older homes in York still have lead service lines or lead solder on old pipes. If your home was built long ago and you are not sure, we can look at the line where it enters the house and replace the homeowner side with new pipe.
