Everywhere we work

10 miles from our yard

Plumber, HVAC & electrician in Philadelphia

Rowhomes share party walls, stacks and sometimes drains, which is why a problem in one house is so often somebody else's problem too. Diagnosing that properly is most of the work; the repair is usually the short part.

What we do in Philadelphia

Each one opens on what that trade runs into in Philadelphia's houses, not a brochure with the town name swapped in.

The houses in Philadelphia

The Philadelphia nearest our yard is the Northeast — Somerton, Bustleton, Torresdale and the neighborhoods around them — which was built out in waves from the 1920s to the 1960s: brick rowhomes and twins with party walls, flat roofs, small basements holding the heater, the panel and the laundry, and drains that run under the front lawn to a main in the street. A rowhome shares more than a wall; roof drains, sewer laterals and sometimes water services were run for a block at a time. What goes wrong in one house is very often a block's problem, and diagnosing that properly is most of the work.

Getting there

10 miles from 5915 Bristol Emilie Rd, Levittown — straight-line, not a drive time, which depends on the day.
