Enola is a census-designated place inside East Pennsboro Township, not a borough of its own, and most of its housing came after the war. The median year built is 1969, and only 15% of homes predate 1940. Only 35% go back before 1960.
In a house from the late 1960s, a failing pipe usually shows up differently than in a Victorian rowhouse. Look for a wet carpet edge near a utility closet, a ceiling stain under an upstairs bath, or a water heater with a puddle around its base. If the problem starts at the heater, see water heater repair.
The main in these houses is often in a utility room, near the water heater, or on the basement wall where the line comes in. Find it before you need it. Closing the main stops the flow while you decide what to do next.
Water in Enola comes from Pennsylvania American Water in parts of East Pennsboro Township, so check your bill to confirm your own address. PAWC owns the main to the curb stop, and the owner owns the line from there into the house. For a hidden problem, a water leak repair call usually begins with finding which side of the curb stop it is on.
Sewer service is handled by the East Pennsboro Township plant. The lateral from your house to the township line belongs to the owner. If a basement drain backs up while the water is off, that points to a sewer line repair problem and not a supply leak.
Enola Yard, the Norfolk Southern rail yard, anchors the town along US 11/15 and the river. Think of this site as a switchboard, not a contractor: ring (717) 853-4052 and an independent local plumber who handles this repair gets the referral.
