Plumbing problems in Hummelstown
Hummelstown is a small Dauphin County borough between Harrisburg and Hershey, with Swatara Creek forming its northern and western edge and US 322 running along its south side. A large share of the houses in the borough were built before World War II, and the Lower Dauphin school campus sits right in town.
In houses that age, the trouble usually starts in the basement. Old cast-iron drains crack, clay sewer laterals let tree roots in, and a floor drain that never caused trouble suddenly backs up during a heavy rain or on laundry day. If water comes up through the lowest drain in the house, stop running water and call; that points to the main line, not a single fixture. Ask the plumber whether a camera inspection makes sense before you agree to dig up the yard. If your basement relies on a sump pump, test it before storm season by pouring a bucket of water into the pit and watching it switch on.
Services
What to call about
- Leaks & burst pipes – Water through a ceiling, a pipe that split in the basement, a stain that keeps growing or a water bill that jumped.
- Drain clogs & sewer backups – Slow sinks, a tub full of standing water, a toilet that gurgles or a basement floor drain pushing water up.
- Water heaters – No hot water, hot water that runs out fast, a pilot that will not stay lit or a puddle under the tank.
- Frozen pipes & emergencies – A faucet with no water on a bitter morning, a pipe that split overnight, or water you cannot stop.
