Common Plumbing Problems in Logan Township Homes
- Sewer lateral problems. The homeowner is responsible for the private sewer line from the house. Where your part ends (the property line or the connection at the main) depends on who serves your street, so check with the township or the Altoona Water Authority. Roots, cracks and sagging old clay pipe on your side are the owner’s job to fix. Read who pays for sewer line repairs. See drain & sewer cleaning.
- Sump pumps tied into the sewer. Township rules do not allow sump pumps, roof downspouts or yard drains to connect to the sanitary sewer. If your sump pump drains into a floor drain or laundry sink, it may need to be re-piped outside. See sump pumps & basement water.
- Water main breaks and boil-water notices. When a main breaks — like the 36th Street break in December 2025 that led to a boil-water notice for part of Eldorado — pressure drops can stir up sediment and affect water heaters and fixtures. Follow the AWA notice first, then call us if problems remain.
- Frozen pipes on hillside homes. Homes up toward Wopsononock and Juniata Gap sit higher and more exposed to wind. Pipes on outside walls and in crawl spaces freeze first. See frozen & burst pipes.
- Hot water tank failures in winter. Cold incoming water makes tanks work harder, so most fail between November and March. See water heater repair.

Logan Township Plumbing FAQs
Is Logan Township part of Altoona?
No. Logan Township is a separate township that surrounds the City of Altoona. It shares Altoona ZIP codes (16601, 16602, 16603), so many township homes have an “Altoona” mailing address. We serve both.
Who is responsible for the sewer line from my house in Logan Township?
The homeowner is responsible for the private sewer line from the house. Where that ends (the property line or the connection at the main) depends on who serves your street — Logan Township or the Altoona Water Authority. If the backup is on your side, it is a private repair. We can clear the line and use a camera to show where the problem is.
Can my sump pump drain into the sewer in Logan Township?
No. Township rules do not allow sump pumps, downspouts or other clean water sources to connect to the sanitary sewer. If yours does, we can re-route it to drain outside.
