The South Hills grew along the streetcar and light-rail lines, and they still look it: street after street of brick and frame houses from the first half of the twentieth century, packed onto hills that rise and fall between Dormont, Beechview and Brookline. Further out, Brentwood, Whitehall and Baldwin loosen into postwar houses with a garage under the living room and a basement that holds the laundry.
Two things worth knowing about La Cornue before we arrive: each La Cornue is hand-built in France and often made to order, so we approach every one as an individual installation; and La Cornue builds heavy, with mechanical controls and burners meant to be serviced, which keeps its ranges repairable for decades.
Call or book online and we'll set up a time that works for you.
La Cornue: platform and parts
La Cornue designs and makes its own appliances, so the parts and service methods belong to La Cornue alone, and parts for La Cornue work around Dormont, Brookline & the South Hills come through its own supply chain.
Send us the model number with your booking. Look for a sticker inside the door or lid, along the frame, behind the bottom kick plate or on the rear panel; with it we can look up that platform's known weak points and carry those parts instead of ordering after the first visit.
Servicing built-in La Cornue equipment
Most La Cornue equipment is built into cabinets or fastened down, so around Dormont, Brookline & the South Hills the first thing we settle is how to get at it. We plan the removal before the day, book a longer slot, and protect the floor, the cabinet fronts and the counters before anything moves.
Pulling out a built-in La Cornue also means paying for cabinet or countertop work, so a fault that would send a freestanding unit to the curb is usually just a repair here.
Where La Cornue appliances sit in Dormont, Brookline & the South Hills
Basement washers and dryers, gas dryers venting through block foundations, second refrigerators and freezers in tuck-under garages that get very cold in winter, and kitchens where a modern range or microwave has been fitted to wiring from an earlier remodel.
No matter the brand, a La Cornue appliance in Dormont, Brookline & the South Hills is only as good as the drain, circuit, vent and water line it's hooked to, and here the washer and dryer are usually in the basement in almost every house, often beside a tuck-under garage.
Frozen lines and cold-weather leaks
Water damage from appliances usually starts at a hookup rather than inside the machine: a rubber washer hose that finally burst, a fridge line pinched when the refrigerator was shoved back, or a line that froze and split.
Braided stainless hoses, a shutoff valve you can reach without moving the appliance, and a drip pan under an upstairs washer are cheap and worth having. If water appears, turn off the supply and unplug the machine before anything else.
Gas ranges, dryers and safety
Natural gas is common for ranges, dryers and water heaters in Dormont, Brookline & the South Hills, and older houses often have gas piping that has been extended and reconnected several times. A gas appliance that won't light usually has an igniter, a sensor or dirty burner ports at fault, not a gas problem.
With a strong gas smell, leave switches alone, get out of the house and call the gas utility from outdoors. We can look at the appliance once it's safe, and after any gas work, each fitting we opened gets leak-tested.
