Plumber in Langhorne
In the 1960s-to-1980s township houses the copper supply is usually sound, but the fixtures, shut-off valves and water heater are on their second or third replacement, and the early plastic supply used in some 1980s houses is worth knowing about before it fails. Borough houses have the older-stock issues: galvanized supply and layered repairs. Where street pressure is high the township houses have a pressure-reducing valve at the meter, and it ages out quietly: a house that starts to hammer, or drips at several fixtures at once, is usually reporting the valve rather than the fixtures.
The houses in Langhorne
Langhorne is two kinds of place with one name. The borough has a historic core of eighteenth- and nineteenth-century houses along its older streets, while Middletown Township around it filled in with colonials, split-levels and ranchers from the 1960s through the 1980s, plus newer developments near the highways. The township houses were built with the systems of their decade — forced-air furnaces, central air added a little later, 100-amp panels — and a great many of those systems are still original.
