About Washington Group in Philadelphia, PA

In Philadelphia, many basement floods are caused by aging or damaged sewer lines that can't handle heavy rain or blockages. Our sewer repair and installation services address the root cause by replacing old clay or cast-iron pipes with modern, durable materials, ensuring proper flow and preventing back-ups that lead to flooding in your basement.

To prevent your outdoor faucet (hose bib) from freezing and bursting, we recommend installing a frost-free hose bib. This is a specific type of faucet installation where the valve is located inside your home's warmer wall, not outside. This simple upgrade is a smart, proactive measure for Philadelphia winters, preventing costly water damage and repairs.

For basement-located water heaters, be alert to pooling water, rust on the tank, or a dripping pressure relief valve, as these can indicate a failing unit that may leak. We offer prompt water heater repair and can install new, efficient models with leak detection pans and proper drainage—key steps to protect your Philadelphia basement from unexpected flooding and damage.
