      About Rhawnhurst and how we serve it

      Rhawnhurst sits in the heart of the Northeast, built up largely in the 1950s around the spine of Castor Avenue and Cottman Avenue. It is a neighborhood of brick row homes and twins on tight residential blocks, the kind of mid-century construction that defines this part of Philadelphia. We do not just service Rhawnhurst, we are based here, which gives us a close read on exactly what these homes need.

      The plumbing under a typical Rhawnhurst home reflects its 1950s build. Galvanized supply lines that have spent seventy years quietly corroding from the inside, cast iron drain stacks that have scaled down over the decades, and original gas piping that needs attention at the fittings are all standard in the neighborhood. Because the homes sit shoulder to shoulder with shared walls and compact basements, the work calls for care and the right equipment in close quarters.

      The parts of Rhawnhurst we work in most often:

      • Central Rhawnhurst.

        The dense blocks around Castor and Cottman, full of 1950s row homes with the classic galvanized-and-cast-iron setup.

      • The Cottman Avenue corridor.

        Where our shop sits, a mix of homes and small-commercial buildings we serve on both sides.

      • The Castor Avenue stretch.

        Residential blocks and neighborhood businesses with the same mid-century plumbing profile.

      • Bordering Bustleton and Pennypack.

        The edges where Rhawnhurst meets neighboring sections and the housing stock starts to vary.

      We are in and out of Rhawnhurst all day, every day. The trucks carry exactly what these homes need: galvanized-to-copper transition fittings, cast iron cabling and jetting tools, parts for mid-century fixtures, and water heaters sized for a Rhawnhurst basement.

      Plumbing problems common in Rhawnhurst homes

      Because Rhawnhurst is mostly 1950s row home stock, the problems we see here follow a predictable pattern.

      • Galvanized supply line corrosion

        The galvanized pipe in these 1950s homes is now well past its prime, which shows up as low pressure at upstairs fixtures and rusty water on the first draw. Repiping brings back both flow and water quality.

      • Cast iron drain stack scaling

        The original cast iron stacks scale internally and lose diameter, and that is the usual culprit behind recurring slow upstairs drains. We cable and jet them clean, and replace sections that are too far gone.

      • Aging gas piping

        Original black iron gas lines often need joints resealed after decades of seasonal expansion and contraction. We inspect, pressure-test, and reseal or replace under L&I permit.

      • Water heater failures

        Tank heaters in Rhawnhurst basements fail through tank corrosion, a depleted anode rod, or a worn-out burner. We replace and upgrade, and convert to tankless where the space and gas supply allow.

      • Sewer lateral and curb trap issues

        The laterals and curb traps serving these mid-century blocks frequently need cleaning, camera inspection, and occasionally replacement.

      • Bathroom and kitchen updates

        Rhawnhurst homes came with modest bathrooms and kitchens by today's standards. We handle remodel rough-ins, code corrections on older installs, and coordination with general contractors.

      • Boiler and heating service

        Gas boilers and forced-air furnaces are both common across Rhawnhurst, and both need repair and eventual replacement, especially as winter sets in.

      Local utilities, rebates, and permits for Rhawnhurst

      Rhawnhurst is fully inside the city of Philadelphia, which means:

      • Gas service is Philadelphia Gas Works (PGW).

        PGW offers rebates to its customers for high-efficiency natural gas equipment, including boiler and water heater upgrades. We document the equipment specs on your invoice so the rebate is straightforward to file.

      • Water and sewer service is Philadelphia Water Department (PWD).

        Permits for water service line work, sewer lateral repairs, and curb traps go through PWD in addition to L&I.

      • Permits are issued by Philadelphia L&I.

        Most plumbing work requires a permit pulled by a licensed Master Plumber. We pull the permits as part of the work, not as an upcharge after the fact.

      • Financing.

        For repipes, sewer lateral replacements, boiler installs, and water heater conversions, we offer instant approval financing through GoodLeap.

      Credentials and licensing

      You should not let an unlicensed plumber work on your sewer, gas line, or water service in Philadelphia. A licensed Master Plumber must oversee plumbing work, hold an active license, be current on City taxes, and carry current insurance on file with L&I. We have operated under that standard since 1990, from right here in Rhawnhurst.

      • BBB accredited

        Listed as accredited on the Better Business Bureau.

      • Insured for the work we do

        Liability and workers' compensation coverage on file with L&I.

      • Family-owned and operated

        In business at 900 Cottman Avenue since 1990.

      Frequently asked questions about plumbing in Rhawnhurst

      How fast can you get to my Rhawnhurst address?+

      Rhawnhurst is where our shop is, so this is the fastest area we serve during business hours. Routine appointments are usually same-day or next-day. For active emergencies like leaks, sewer backups, or no heat in winter, the 24/7 answering service routes the call immediately and dispatches the nearest crew.

      Are you the plumber on Cottman Avenue?+

      Yes. Our shop has been at 900 Cottman Avenue since 1990, between Castor Avenue and Bustleton Avenue, right in the heart of Rhawnhurst. If you have driven past the shop, that is us.

      Do you charge a travel fee for Rhawnhurst?+

      No. Rhawnhurst is our own neighborhood, so there is no travel surcharge for service here. Pricing is for the work itself, confirmed on-site after diagnosis, before any work begins.

      Which Rhawnhurst ZIP codes do you cover?+

      19152 and 19111 cover most of Rhawnhurst, and we also dispatch regularly to neighboring 19149 and 19115. If you are in the area and your ZIP is not listed, call us, we cover it.

      Do you handle row home plumbing in Rhawnhurst specifically?+

      Yes. Rhawnhurst row homes are the bread and butter of our work. Cast iron drain stacks, galvanized supply lines, tight basements, shared walls, and Northeast street parking are all part of how we operate every day. The trucks are stocked accordingly.

      What is the most common Rhawnhurst plumbing problem?+

      In these 1950s homes it is usually one of three: weak flow at a second-floor fixture from galvanized corrosion, a water heater past its service life, or a recurring slow drain from a scaled cast iron stack. We can diagnose all three on a single visit.

      My Rhawnhurst home lost heat. Can you come out?+

      Yes. We service and replace the gas boilers and furnaces common in Rhawnhurst homes, and no heat in winter is treated as an emergency and routed for fast dispatch.

      Do you work with Rhawnhurst landlords and rental properties?+

      Yes. We work directly with owners and property managers on the many landlord-owned homes in the area, and we provide itemized invoices suitable for tenant cost-passthrough, security deposit documentation, and L&I-compliant repair records.

      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!
