Frequently Asked Questions

Do you handle plumbing in older Francisville row homes?

Yes. Most Francisville homes date to the 1900s–1950s with galvanized steel, cast iron, and terracotta lines. We diagnose corrosion, replace sections, and install modern materials without disrupting walls.

Can I add air conditioning to my row home?

Yes. Ductless mini-splits are ideal for tight spaces with no central return air. We install window units or single-head systems that cool without major renovations.

What if my basement flooded during heavy rain?

We inspect sewer backups, check drain grading, and recommend sump pumps or cleanouts. Many Francisville homes sit below street level, making backup prevention essential.

How fast can you respond to a burst pipe?

Emergencies within Francisville receive same-hour response. We shut off water, dry walls, and schedule repair the next business day or immediately if requested.

Do I need permits for heating or plumbing work?

Yes. Philadelphia code requires permits for most plumbing and HVAC replacements. We handle permit pulls, inspections, and pass certifications.
