If you live in Abington Township and need a plumber today, dial 215-342-7200. The line is answered by a person, not a phone tree, and the answer to “can you come out today” is usually yes. We are not headquartered in Abington, so we tell you upfront where we are coming from: 900 Cottman Avenue in Northeast Philly, about a 25-minute drive depending on what PA 611 looks like.

Once a tech arrives, the estimate is free, the price is locked in before any tool comes out of the truck, and the work is backed by a Master Plumber license that has been current since the year George H.W. Bush was president.

Burst supply line in a Crestmont basement, slow drain in a Roslyn split-level, dead water heater on a Saturday morning in McKinley, the routing is the same.

About Abington and how we serve it

Per the Abington Township government, Abington is a first-ring suburb of Philadelphia established in 1704, with over 58,000 residents across 15.5 square miles. That makes it the second most populous township in Montgomery County. The Township’s accessibility along PA 611 (Old York Road), PA 309, and the SEPTA Regional Rail (Warminster, West Trenton, and Lansdale/Doylestown lines all have Abington stations) means it has been a long-standing commuter community since the early 20th century.

The housing stock reflects that history. Abington has a wide age range: pre-war stone and brick singles in the older neighborhoods near Old York Road, mid-century split-levels and ranchers from the post-war suburbanization wave (1950s through 1970s), and newer subdivision construction at the township’s edges. The neighborhoods we work in most often:

  • Roslyn

    Heavy mix of 1940s and 1950s single-family homes, common cast iron drainage, gas heating from PECO Gas.

  • Crestmont

    Older pre-war stock with more pre-1940s housing characteristics, including galvanized supply lines and clay sewer laterals.

  • McKinley

    Mixed-era housing, including some of the larger Victorian and Colonial Revival homes near Old York Road.

  • North Hills

    Mid-century housing, common copper supply lines, often with finished basements that complicate sump pump and ejector pump work.

  • Roychester

    Newer construction (1960s and later), more modern plumbing infrastructure but reaching the age where water heaters and original fixtures are due for replacement.

Because Abington Township is older than most Pennsylvania suburbs (established 1704, suburbanized in waves starting in the 1920s), the plumbing problems we see here are an unusual blend: pre-war issues (clay laterals, galvanized supply) coexisting with mid-century issues (cast iron stack scaling, original water heaters) coexisting with newer-suburb issues (sump pump failures, finished basement drainage).

Local utilities, rebates, and permits for Abington

The utility and permit landscape in Abington Township is different from Philadelphia. Three things to know:

Water service is Aqua Pennsylvania. Per the Abington Township government, the majority of the Township is serviced by Aqua Pennsylvania for public water, not PWD. That means a different water service line shutoff process, different permit requirements for water service line repairs, and different meter procedures than inside Philadelphia.

Sewer service is mixed. Per the Abington Wastewater Utilities Department, sanitary sewers in the Township are divided into three areas. Western Abington flows to the Township’s own treatment plant on Fitzwatertown Road. Eastern areas (east of Edge Hill Road) flow to PWD’s Pennypack interceptor. Southern areas flow to Cheltenham Township’s interceptor and then to PWD. Knowing which system your address is on matters when there is a backup at the lateral.

Gas service is PECO Gas, not PGW. Per the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission, PECO Gas serves Bucks, Chester, Delaware, and Montgomery counties, with its own rebate program for high-efficiency natural gas equipment installation. We document the equipment specs your invoice needs so the rebate is straightforward to file.

Permits go through Abington Township L&I, not Philadelphia L&I. Township permitting has its own forms, fees, and inspection timing. We pull the permits as part of the work.

Financing. Same GoodLeap instant-approval financing available for larger jobs.

Credentials and licensing

Per the Philadelphia Department of Licenses and Inspections, a licensed Master Plumber must oversee plumbing work in Philadelphia, hold an active license, be current on City taxes, and carry insurance on file with L&I. Our Master Plumber license is current and in good standing with L&I, and we have operated under that standard since 1990. For Abington Township work, we pull permits through Abington L&I in addition to operating under our Philadelphia license.
