      About Fox Chase and how we serve it

      Fox Chase sits at the far northeast edge of Philadelphia, and our Cottman Avenue shop is right on its southern border. That proximity is why Fox Chase has been one of our most active service areas for over three decades. We know the streets, we know the housing, and we know what breaks.

      The neighborhood is a mix of single-family detached homes, semi-detached twins, and some rowhome pockets. Most of the housing went up between the 1940s and 1960s when Northeast Philadelphia was expanding fast. Older sections near Pennypack Park carry Victorian-era and early 20th century construction with plumbing systems that predate modern code. That range means the plumbing issues here vary just as much, from corroded galvanized supply lines in a 1920s twin to a failing sump pump in a 1960s split-level with a finished basement.

      The Fox Chase areas we work in most often:

      • Rhawn Street and Oxford Avenue corridor.

        The commercial spine of the neighborhood, surrounded by residential blocks with a heavy mix of twins and single-family homes.

      • Pennypack Park border.

        Homes backing up to the park sit under heavy tree cover, and the root pressure on sewer laterals is constant.

      • Burholme edge and Verree Road.

        Established single-family housing with basements, longer lot lines, and underground runs that look more suburban than urban.

      • Pine Road and the upper blocks.

        Quieter residential streets with older detached homes and mature landscaping.

      Our trucks roll into Fox Chase carrying what these homes need: sump and ejector pumps, sewer cabling and camera gear, water line and excavation fittings, and water heaters sized for the basements and utility closets we see here every week.

      Plumbing problems common in Fox Chase homes

      Fox Chase homes sit on suburban-style lots with basements, mature trees, and underground lines that have been in the ground for 50 to 80 years. That combination drives a specific set of recurring issues.

      • Sewer line damage from root intrusion

        Fox Chase borders Pennypack Park and sits under one of the heaviest tree canopies in Northeast Philadelphia. Roots work into clay and cast iron sewer laterals at the joints and cracks. We cable, camera inspect, and replace the line when it is past clearing.

      • Sump pump and ejector pump failures

        Finished and semi-finished basements across Fox Chase depend on pumps to stay dry. A failure during a heavy rain puts water on the lower level fast. We repair and replace pumps and install battery backups for storm-season reliability.

      • Water heater breakdowns

        Tank-style water heaters in Fox Chase basements and utility rooms corrode from the inside over time. Once the anode rod depletes and the tank starts rusting, a leak is not far behind. We replace and upgrade, and discuss tankless where the gas supply and venting allow.

      • Drain clogs and slow drains

        Kitchen, bath, and basement floor drains clog from grease buildup, soap, and roots in the longer lateral runs common on these lots. We clear them with cabling and hydro jetting and trace the real cause so the clog does not come back in a month.

      • Water line deterioration

        Many Fox Chase homes still have their original galvanized or lead water service lines. Corrosion narrows the pipe over the years, gradually dropping pressure at every fixture. We locate, test, and replace the line, with excavation when it is past repair.

      • Gas line service

        Fox Chase homes run gas to boilers, furnaces, water heaters, stoves, and dryers. We inspect, pressure-test, repair, and install gas lines under the proper city permit.

      • Boiler and heating service

        The neighborhood runs a mix of hot water boilers, steam boilers, and forced-air furnaces. No heat in winter gets priority dispatch, and our trucks carry the parts to get most systems running the same day.

      Permits, utilities, and what Fox Chase homeowners should know

      Fox Chase is within the City of Philadelphia, so plumbing work here falls under city jurisdiction and requires a licensed Master Plumber.

      • Permits go through the City of Philadelphia.

        The Department of Licenses and Inspections issues plumbing permits and oversees inspections for all work in Fox Chase. We pull the permit and schedule the inspection as part of the job.

      • The sewer lateral is your responsibility.

        Your home connects to the city sewer main through a private lateral, and that lateral is yours to maintain. When it clogs, sags, or breaks, clearing it and repairing it falls on the homeowner. That is the kind of work we handle from start to finish.

      • Water service comes from the Philadelphia Water Department.

        The city maintains the public mains, but the service line from the curb to your home is yours. If pressure has been dropping gradually, the service line is the first place to look.

      • Financing.

        For sewer and water line replacements, pump systems, boiler installs, and water heater swaps, we offer instant approval financing through GoodLeap.

      Frequently asked questions about plumbing in Fox Chase

      How close is your shop to Fox Chase?+

      Our shop is at 900 Cottman Avenue, and Cottman Avenue forms the southern border of Fox Chase. During business hours, a tech can usually reach a Fox Chase address within minutes.

      Do you handle boiler work in addition to plumbing?+

      Yes. Many Fox Chase homes run hot water or steam boilers, and we handle repair and replacement alongside every other branch of plumbing and heating. When your heat goes out in winter, that call goes to the front of the line.

      My water pressure has been dropping for months. What is going on?+

      In Fox Chase, the most common cause of gradually declining water pressure is a corroded galvanized or lead water service line. The pipe narrows from the inside over decades. We can test and inspect the line to confirm, and discuss repair or replacement from there.

      Are tree roots really that common in sewer lines here?+

      Yes. Fox Chase sits under heavy tree cover and borders Pennypack Park. Roots from mature trees find their way into sewer lateral joints and cracks. If your drains slow down at the same time every year, roots are a likely cause, and a camera inspection will confirm it.

      Can you work on older homes with original plumbing?+

      Absolutely. Fox Chase has homes dating back to the early 1900s with clay sewer lines, galvanized supply piping, and cast iron drain stacks. We have been working on older Philadelphia housing stock for over 30 years.

      Do I need a permit for plumbing work in Fox Chase?+

      Fox Chase falls under the City of Philadelphia, so most plumbing work requires a permit from the Department of Licenses and Inspections. We handle the permit as part of the job.

      Do you offer emergency service?+

      Yes. The phone is answered 24/7 by our answering service. For active emergencies, burst pipes, sewer backups, gas leaks, or no heat in winter, the call gets routed immediately and the nearest crew dispatches.

      What is the most common plumbing call from Fox Chase?+

      Sewer line problems caused by root intrusion, sump pump failures during storms, and water heater replacements. Those three make up the bulk of our Fox Chase work.

      I recently just moved into a South Philly Rowhouse. The house needed a few plumbing and heating repairs upon moving in. I have been very impressed by the techs this company sends out! They were helpful, ethical, and fairly priced. As a first time homeowner it is intimidating to have repairs done and not have fear you are being taken advantage of. Everything they quoted was fair and repairs were completed quickly. Very thankful I gave this place a call!
