Forest Hills is a small quiet borough east of Pittsburgh where most owners have held their older homes for years and take great pride in maintaining them. Original plumbing was never built for today's cold snaps, so a hard freeze reaching an exposed line in a garage or crawlspace is a routine call here, and a heavy storm can overwhelm an aging sump system in an older basement. Forest Hills' older homes and original plumbing systems make freezing and backups predictable. Hard Pittsburgh winters crack uninsulated pipes, and aging sump systems struggle with modern downpours. Both scenarios occur regularly here. From Forest Hills, crews also cover nearby Penn Hills, Brentwood, Fox Chapel, Mount Lebanon, Ross Township, Shaler Township.
