Drain Cleaning in Philadelphia
Roof drains tied into the sewer, long flat runs under the basement floor, and decades of grease make rowhome mains the most-cleared drains in the city. When a basement floor drain backs up during rain, that is typically the street main or the shared line, not a clog inside the house, and the cure is different.
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
