Common Drain and Plumbing Problems in Northeast Philadelphia
Roots Under Front Lawns
Northeast Philly laterals run under front lawns where trees grew big. Roots fill clay and cast iron joints. We cut them out and camera the line. If the pipe is cracked or offset, you see it live on screen and get an upfront quote before any repair.
Tree Root RemovalBasement and Garage Drain Backups
Basement floor drains and rear garage drains clog with silt, leaves and grease. We clear them and check that the line to the main is open. Clearing the rear drain also keeps water from pooling against the back wall of the house during storms.
Basement Floor Drain CleaningMain Line Clogs
When the main slows, every fixture suffers. We clear the main from the cleanout to the street and show you the cause on camera. Then you decide whether routine cleaning is enough or a repair section makes more sense for your line.
Main Sewer Line CleaningFrozen Garage Pipes
Pipes running through garages and exterior walls freeze in winter cold snaps. We thaw and repair them and suggest ways to protect the run. Insulating pipes that run through the garage ceiling is often the simplest fix for next winter.

Postwar Rowhome Plumbing in the Northeast
Northeast Philly rowhomes from the 1950s and 1960s often have a finished basement or a garage level at the back, with the main drain running toward the front of the house and out to the city main under the lawn or sidewalk. Laterals are typically cast iron or clay and are now 60 to 70 years old. Trees on the front lawns and along the streets have grown large and push roots into the joints. Because the owner is generally responsible for the lateral, repeat backups deserve a camera inspection. Some older homes in Frankford and Holmesburg also have house traps. Cutting the roots buys time, and the camera shows if a repair is needed.
Pennypack Creek, Poquessing Creek and Frankford Creek run through the Northeast, and parts of it lie low near the Delaware River. Heavy rain can push water toward basement drains, and rear garage drains sometimes collect leaves and silt. Winter cold snaps freeze pipes in garages and along exterior walls. Hard water and aging tanks keep water heaters on our list too. Rear driveway and garage drains that clog with silt can send water against the back wall of the house. Winter cold snaps freeze pipes in garages and along exterior walls, especially in back rooms over the garage. Hard water and aging tanks keep water heaters on our list too, and we check them during drain visits when you ask.
