  • Drain Cleaning or Pipe Replacement? What Logan & West Philly Homeowners Should Know

When water backs up in your kitchen or bathroom, it’s easy to assume the problem is a simple clog. But in areas like University City, Logan, and North Philly—where many homes still have aging cast iron or clay pipes—it could be a deeper issue.

Clogs vs. Structural Damage

  • Drain cleaning handles surface-level blockages caused by grease, hair, or food
  • Pipe repair addresses root intrusion, corrosion, or collapsed lines often found in older homes

We Use Modern Technology Our licensed plumbers use hydro-jetting and camera inspections to pinpoint the issue before tearing into walls or floors. This avoids guesswork and saves time and money.

Permit Tip: Major pipe replacements or exterior sewer repairs often require city permits. We manage the process and coordinate with Philadelphia Water Department when necessary. Learn more at PWD’s website.
