Coverage area

Serving Upper St. Clair and the surrounding metro

Upper St. Clair is one of the more affluent South Hills suburbs with large owner-occupied estates built on generous, sloped lots. The big houses mean long supply lines through unheated wings and finished basements set below grade, all vulnerable when a hard winter freeze hits or heavy rain arrives faster than drainage systems were designed to handle. Upper St. Clair's large homes on sloped terrain create extended plumbing systems vulnerable to freezing during hard Pittsburgh winters. Long unheated pipe runs burst easily, and heavy rainfall overwhelms drainage systems that were never sized for modern storm intensities. From Upper St. Clair, crews also cover nearby Monroeville, Hampton Township, Bethel Park, McCandless, Plum, West Mifflin. See every neighborhood and town on the full service area page.
