Plumbing for the Memorial Park neighborhood
The Memorial Park area encompasses the residential blocks surrounding Pottstown's Memorial Park, in the north-central section of the borough. This established neighborhood has a mix of housing ages, with older pre-WWII properties on the interior blocks and mid-century development along the neighborhood edges. The mature tree canopy throughout the park-adjacent neighborhood is an aesthetic asset and a plumbing consideration.
Root intrusion in sewer laterals is more prevalent in park-adjacent and heavily treed residential blocks than in the open-canopy sections of the borough. Large established trees send roots considerable distances underground in search of moisture, and clay sewer pipe joints in the 80-to-100-year-old laterals beneath the Memorial Park neighborhood are prime entry points. We provide camera inspection and trenchless CIPP lining as the standard approach for laterals where root intrusion is the primary issue and the pipe is otherwise structurally sound.
Frozen pipe repair calls from the Memorial Park area track with the rest of the borough during cold stretches, but properties with significant shade from the mature park-edge trees can retain frost longer than south-facing or open lots. Supply lines in exterior walls of the older housing in this neighborhood are the most vulnerable points during extended cold below 20 degrees Fahrenheit.
