Wilkinsburg is a historic streetcar borough bordering the city's east end, its dense stock of old houses split between longtime owners and renters, some properties showing real deferred maintenance. Aging galvanized and cast-iron plumbing here cracks easily during a hard winter freeze, and older combined sewer lines under these blocks are prone to backing up through basement floor drains during a heavy storm. Wilkinsburg's streetcar-era homes with deferred maintenance are especially vulnerable to condensate backup and pipe failure during hard freezes. Cast-iron plumbing is corroded and brittle. Combined sewer lines back up easily. Vacant or semi-maintained properties mean shared issues affect multiple homes. From Wilkinsburg, crews also cover nearby Regent Square, Mount Washington, Beechview, Swissvale, Edgewood, Point Breeze. See every neighborhood and town on the full service area page.
