Why do so many older homes in Swarthmore have plumbing problems?

Many homes in Swarthmore were built decades ago and still have original cast iron sewer lines and galvanized pipes. Over time, these materials corrode, build up with hard water deposits, and become prone to leaks and blockages. Swarthmore's clay and shale soil also shifts with seasonal freeze-thaw cycles, which can crack or misalign underground pipes. Roto-Rooter's experienced plumbing technicians can inspect, repair, or replace aging plumbing to keep your home running properly.

What should I do if my pipes freeze during a Swarthmore winter?

Frozen pipes are a real concern in Swarthmore given the area's cold winters with heavy snow and ice. If you suspect a pipe has frozen, shut off your main water supply right away to prevent a burst pipe from causing flooding. Do not attempt to thaw pipes with an open flame or high-heat device. Call Roto-Rooter at 610-605-3287 and our experienced plumbing technicians will respond promptly to safely thaw your pipes and assess any damage.
