Penn Hills is the largest township near Pittsburgh, a sprawl of ranch and split-level homes built mostly in the mid-1900s and still occupied by longtime owners. Decades-old plumbing and sump systems in these houses were not built for today's heavier downpours, and a hard winter freeze reaching into an unheated crawlspace or garage line is a common way water shows up where it should not, especially if a washing machine hose fails at the same time. Penn Hills' mid-1900s sump systems and supply lines were designed for lighter usage. A washing machine overflow combined with a sump that cannot keep pace creates basement flooding quickly.
