Most of the housing is brick rowhouses and twins, with porches out front and basements below, and many of them have been in the same family for decades. Long ownership is a good thing, but it means the plumbing behind the appliances is often as old as the house.

Original Shutoff Valves and Aging Hookups
In a house held for a long time, the washer, dishwasher and refrigerator may be newer, but the valves supplying them often are not. Old multi-turn valves seize from years of sitting open, and older washer hoses made of plain rubber crack from the inside before they show it. When a technician needs to shut the water off to replace a part, a valve that will not close, or one that starts dripping when it is turned, becomes part of the job.
Take a look before there is an emergency. Find the valves behind the washer and under the kitchen sink. If they are crusted, stiff or weeping, ask a plumber about replacing them. Braided supply hoses on the washer are worth the small cost. Know where the main shutoff for the house is, which in many rowhouses is in the front of the basement where the water line enters.
On our side, we check the condition of the hoses and connections whenever we work on a washer, dishwasher or refrigerator water line, and we will point out anything that looks ready to fail. If a valve cannot be turned safely, we will tell you rather than force it.
What to Have Ready in 19138
Street parking is usually workable on these blocks; let us know if there is a rear driveway. Clear space behind the washer and in front of the sink cabinet, and know where the main water shutoff is. If you have the appliance's model number or the year it was installed, share it when you book.
