Plumber in Annville, PA – Stone Homes & Student Rentals

Annville is a Lebanon County community along US 422 between Palmyra and Lebanon, home to Lebanon Valley College and the Quittapahilla Creek nature park. Some of its houses are very old, including stone homes from the early 1800s. Thick stone walls and tight basements make it hard to run new pipe, and older homes often have a mix of copper, galvanized and plastic lines added over the decades. When you call, mention the age of the house and whether the basement is dirt, stone or finished, so the provider knows what to expect.

Near the college, a lot of houses are split into rentals. Student renters should report a drip before it becomes a ceiling stain, and should never pour grease down a kitchen sink shared by several roommates. Landlords: before winter break, make sure the heat stays on and tenants know where the main shutoff is. A house that sits cold and empty over the holidays is a common setup for a frozen, split pipe that nobody notices for days.
