Repairs in Point Breeze & Homewood
15208 joins Point Breeze and North Point Breeze with the three Homewood neighborhoods, Homewood North, South and West, in the eastern part of the city.
These are City of Pittsburgh neighborhoods, and we come out to every street in 15208.
Point Breeze has tree-lined streets of larger older brick and frame houses; Homewood has smaller attached and detached houses, many of them rented. Either way, the laundry is almost always in the basement.
One tip for 15208
Older basements here often have the washer draining into a laundry tub instead of a standpipe. If yours does, mention it: a clogged strainer in the tub can look exactly like a washer pump that has quit.
Old drains, newer machines
A modern washer pumps water out fast, and older basement plumbing in Point Breeze and Homewood wasn't always built for it. A laundry tub with a slow drain or a standpipe that's too short can overflow or siphon water back into the drum.
We check how the machine drains as part of any washer call. If the fix belongs to a plumber rather than us, we'll say so plainly.
Cold snaps and water lines
During a hard freeze in Point Breeze and Homewood, water lines that run along an outside wall or through an unheated space can freeze. The refrigerator's ice maker line and the washer's supply hoses are the usual victims.
If the ice maker and dispenser quit together on a frigid morning, or the washer fills slowly, a frozen line is the first thing to rule out. Let the space warm up slowly and check for leaks once the water moves again.
Tenants and approvals
