Repairs in Wilkinsburg & Forest Hills
15221 is Wilkinsburg, the borough just east of the city line, together with Forest Hills, Braddock Hills, part of Churchill and a strip of the City of Pittsburgh.
Several municipalities share 15221, and the town printed on your mail isn't always the one that governs your street. We serve the whole ZIP with the rest of Wilkinsburg & Swissvale.
Wilkinsburg has a large stock of Victorian and early-twentieth-century houses, many of them big, along with brick apartment buildings. Forest Hills and Braddock Hills are later, more suburban streets.
One tip for 15221
In Wilkinsburg's large old houses, the laundry may be in a basement reached by a back stair, with the dryer venting through the foundation wall. Tell us how the vent runs when you book.
Victorian houses, modern appliances
The big old houses of Wilkinsburg and Forest Hills were built for coal stoves and iceboxes. Every appliance in them now sits on gas piping, water lines and wiring that were added later, often in several rounds.
When something fails, we look at the connection as well as the machine: a gas valve, a supply line, an outlet. If the fault is in the house rather than the appliance, you'll hear that from us.
Working on a slope
On the steeper streets of Wilkinsburg and Forest Hills, the house is often above or below the sidewalk, and the floors inside aren't always level either. A washer that walks across the floor during the spin or a refrigerator door that swings open on its own is frequently a leveling problem before it's a broken part.
We check the feet and the floor before anything else. It's a small fix, and a machine that sits square lasts longer.
Circuits added over the years
Basement laundry in older houses in Wilkinsburg and Forest Hills often runs on wiring added decades after the house went up. A dryer that trips the breaker, a washer sharing a circuit with a freezer, or an outlet that feels warm are worth mentioning when you book.
We test what we can at the appliance. If the trouble is in the wiring itself, you'll need an electrician, and we'll be straight about that.
