24/7 Emergency Service in Newtown
Older borough houses often have main valves that have not been exercised in years, and it is worth knowing whether yours turns before you need it to. In the township, a failed sump pump during a storm is the most common way a finished basement is lost. Township houses of the 1980s and 1990s also tend to keep the water heater, the furnace and the sump pump in the same corner of the basement, so a leaking tank or a pump that quits can put water against the heater long before anyone notices — shutting the main, and the heater's gas or breaker, is the first move.
The houses in Newtown
Newtown Borough dates to the 1680s, and its historic district is a stretch of stone, brick and frame houses that have been lived in, added to and re-plumbed for two or three centuries. Newtown Township around it is much newer: large developments from the 1980s through the 2000s, built with modern systems — copper and PEX supply, PVC drains, 200-amp panels, gas or heat-pump heat — that are now twenty to forty years old and reaching the end of their first life together.
