Why Parkside Plumbing Needs Extra Care
Parkside is one of the smallest boroughs around Chester, and three local points set its plumbing apart.
Bungalows and Twins From the Early 1900s
The borough is known for bungalows and twins from the early 1900s. Their original materials are often still in the walls, which makes careful diagnosis more important than a quick patch.

Older Lots, Older Laterals
Old lots usually mean old laterals, and some homes may share lines. Shared lines complicate repairs, so we check the layout before we quote.

- Cast iron stacks with rough interiors
- Clay laterals with cracked joints
- Cleanouts buried under porches
- Traps that corrode and weep
- Floor drains that rarely get used
Supply Lines
- Galvanized pipe not yet replaced
- Low pressure on upper floors
- Rusty water after a quiet weekend
- Patch repairs in mixed metals
- Shutoffs that no longer close
Services Parkside Homes Need Most

A main line clog backs up several drains at once. Drain cleaning Parkside PA homes need begins with clearing the line and then checking it, since a clogged drain Parkside owners notice often repeats.
Repairing Cracked Laterals

Repiping Galvanized Homes
Homes that still carry galvanized supply pipes lose pressure and run rusty. We repipe with PEX or copper and keep wall openings small, so you can stay in the house.
Swapping Out Old Water Heaters
Water heater replacement Parkside homeowners book usually involves a tight basement and steep stairs. We plan the route, size the tank and haul away the old one.
Backwater Valves for Heavy Rain
A backwater valve stops sewage and storm water from coming back through a basement drain. It is a good fit for low floors where the public line fills quickly.

Parkside Rules for Older Homes
Older homes in a small borough reward a little planning. These apply to most addresses in Parkside.
- Keep downspouts off the sewer. DELCORA owns the street sewers, and it asks owners to keep downspouts out of the sanitary line, because rain water overloads the system and can push sewage into basements.
- Ask the borough about permits. Permits for sewer, water heater and repiping work go through Parkside Borough, so ask what applies before work starts, and we will explain each step.
- Check before changing exteriors. In historic areas, ask the borough before replacing visible exterior fixtures such as hose bibs or vents, so repairs do not conflict with local district rules.
- Ask about licensing. Pennsylvania leaves plumbing licensing to local rules. A licensed plumber Parkside PA homeowners hire should be able to explain the borough's expectations.
