Plumbing for Boyertown's older borough housing stock
Boyertown is a borough in northern Berks County whose residential core shares the industrial-era development pattern common to Schuylkill Valley communities. The downtown blocks and surrounding residential streets include pre-1930 rowhomes and twins built during a period when lead service lines were standard and cast iron drain stacks were installed in every new structure.
Lead service line replacement is one of the most frequent plumbing inquiries we receive from Boyertown homeowners. Pre-1930 properties in the borough have a high likelihood of lead or galvanized steel service lines connecting to the water main at the street. We handle private-side lead service line replacement independently and coordinate with local water utility work as needed.
Frozen pipe risk in Boyertown mirrors what we see in Pottstown. PA winters hit northern Berks County hard, and supply lines in exterior walls of older rowhomes and twins freeze during cold stretches in January and February. Cast iron drain stacks in the borough's older housing are also approaching or past 80 to 100 years of service. We provide camera inspection, section replacement, and full stack PVC replacement for Boyertown properties.
