24/7 Emergency Service in Philadelphia
A sewage backup in a rowhome basement is the urgent one, because the same water may be rising next door and the cause can be in the street. Shut off your own main for a supply leak, keep out of a wet basement if the panel is down there, and tell us on the phone whether the neighbors have it too — it changes what we bring.
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.
