Edgewood is a small, affluent streetcar borough just east of the city, its historic, owner-occupied houses with stone foundations built decades before modern drainage codes. Winter freezes crack old slate roofs and burst pipes in foundation walls, and heavy rain causes seepage through stone into basements that were never intended to shed water. Edgewood historic stone homes are vulnerable to freeze damage in old slate roofs and stone-foundation seepage during heavy rain. Stone basements were never designed for modern drying systems and require specialized care. From Edgewood, crews also cover nearby Beechview, Swissvale, Brookline, Bellevue, Wilkinsburg, Regent Square. See every neighborhood and town on the full service area page.
