Plumbing in Johnstown homes: what to know
Most homes are 2000s-and-newer with basements, PEX, sump pits and irrigation backflow devices. The original town center has older homes with galvanized pipe and older sewer laterals.
Growing pains in new subdivisions
Settling around new foundations can stress drain connections and sewer laterals, and irrigation systems can put extra water around basements.
Older homes in the town center
Original homes near downtown Johnstown may still have galvanized supply lines and clay sewer lines.
Irrigation water near basements
Heavy lawn watering and new grading can push water toward foundations. Keep sprinkler heads aimed away from the house and make sure downspouts discharge well clear of the basement.

Johnstown homeowners ask
Who issues plumbing permits in Johnstown?
The Town of Johnstown building department issues permits within town limits.
Why is there water in my new basement?
Often groundwater from irrigation and grading, which a sump pump handles, or a plumbing leak. A plumber can tell which by checking the sump, supply lines and drains.
When should a Johnstown home get its water heater checked?
Once a year: flush sediment, test the relief valve and look for rust at the base. Homes from the early 2000s are due for replacement planning.
