Forest Hills is a small, quiet borough east of the city where most owners have held their older homes for years with original plumbing never built for today's cold snaps. A hard freeze reaching an exposed line in a garage or crawlspace is routine, and a heavy storm can still overwhelm an aging system in older basements. Forest Hills' older owner-occupied homes have original plumbing vulnerable to hard freezes in unheated spaces. Aging systems were never sized for heavy modern rainfall, and the borough's settled owners rarely upgrade until failures occur. From Forest Hills, crews also cover nearby Penn Hills, Brentwood, Fox Chapel, Mount Lebanon, Ross Township, Shaler Township. See every neighborhood and town on the full service area page.

Hard freezes crack unheated pipes reliably every few years in Forest Hills. Original plumbing from past decades has limited lifespan and splits easily in sub-zero temperatures, especially in exposed crawlspaces.
Install a sump pump with battery backup, insulate pipes in unheated spaces, and consider replacing aging supply lines. After assessing your Forest Hills home, crews recommend the best protection strategy.
