Common Plumbing Problems in Lansdale Homes

North Penn Water Authority serves Lansdale. About 88 percent of its water is surface water from the Forest Park plant in Chalfont, fed by Lake Galena and the Delaware River, with the rest from its own wells.

The authority says hardness across its system ranges from 3 to more than 18 grains, and that with more Forest Park water in the mix, some customers no longer need a softener. The median Lansdale home was built in 1958.

Do You Still Need That Softener?

Lansdale's water used to come mostly from hard wells. Now most of it is softer surface water, and North Penn Water Authority says some customers may no longer need to soften. If you have an old softener, test your tap water. A plumber can bypass or remove a unit you no longer need. See water softener.

Before a Cold Snap in Lansdale

Disconnect hoses and drain outside faucets before the first freeze.
Let a faucet drip during the coldest nights.
Insulate pipes in crawl spaces and along outside walls.
If a pipe freezes, open its faucet and close the main shutoff before it thaws. See frozen pipes.

Old Pipe

Homes from the 1920s through the 1950s can have galvanized lines and cast iron drains.

What Affects Plumbing Costs in Lansdale

No plumber can quote a firm price before seeing the problem. These are the things that move the cost of plumbing work in Lansdale.

Old pipe. Galvanized lines rarely take a clean patch.
Softener work. Removing or bypassing an old unit is a small job; replacing one is not.
Finding the problem. Leak locating and camera inspections are separate steps, but they keep the repair itself small.
Time of day. Many companies charge an after-hours, weekend or holiday fee.
Ask for the arrival fee before the plumber heads out, and for the repair price in writing before work starts.

How to Find a Licensed Plumber in Lansdale

These checks take a few minutes and prevent most bad experiences, whichever Lansdale plumber you end up hiring.

Check the Pennsylvania License

Pennsylvania does not license plumbers statewide. Philadelphia licenses master plumbers through its Department of Licenses and Inspections, the Allegheny County Health Department licenses plumbers in Pittsburgh, and Allentown licenses its own through a city board. Ask for the local license number before work starts. That applies to any plumbing work at your Lansdale home.

Confirm Who Pulls the Permit

For work that needs a permit, the plumber should pull it.

What to Ask on the Phone

What is the arrival window?
Is there a service, trip or after-hours fee?
For an emergency, will you stop the damage first and quote the permanent repair before starting it?
What is your license number?
