Lemoyne, PA Plumbing Repair and Installation
Water in the basement of a house near Negley Park on Cumberland Road has two questions behind it: where the water came from, and whether a sewer problem is the borough's to look at before a plumber is called. In Lemoyne the borough asks to hear about sewer backups first.
Ring dispatch with the address and a quick description of what is happening. The plumbers serving your area can tell a pipe, a fixture or a heater problem from one that begins in the sewer main.
Distance: Lemoyne is only about 1.5 miles from dispatch in Camp Hill.

A sewer backup in Lemoyne: call the borough first
The borough asks residents with a sewer backup to call its Sewer Department at (717) 763-7575 before hiring a plumber. The Lemoyne Municipal Authority holds the plant and the collection system, and the borough leases and operates it, so the sewer department can tell you whether the blockage is in the main. If it is, the borough deals with it. If it is not, the problem is in your own line, and a plumber clears it.
No rule on who owns the lateral could be confirmed from the borough pages, so this page does not state one. Ask the sewer department when you call. For cameras, roots and replacement on the owner's side, see repairing a sewer line.
Plumbing permits go through the borough office
Lemoyne issues building permits through a third-party code official, and applicants may choose any state-certified third-party agency. One building permit application covers building, plumbing, electrical and mechanical work. The borough office is at 3 Lowther Street, with mail going to 510 Herman Avenue, and the number is (717) 737-6843.
The borough pages do not mention water heaters. Plumbing work goes on the same application, so a heater swap is likely to need a permit; confirm by phone before booking. For the size and venting questions to settle first, see water heater installation.
| Problem | First call | Phone |
|---|---|---|
| Sewer backup | Borough Sewer Department | (717) 763-7575 |
| Plumbing permit | Borough office | (717) 737-6843 |
| Street water main or discolored water | Pennsylvania American Water | 1-800-565-7292 |
| Anything inside the walls of the house | A plumber from dispatch | Dispatch line |
For a sewer backup, the borough asks to hear first at (717) 763-7575, so it can check the main before anyone is hired.
Heater, drain or leak in Lemoyne?
Describe the leak, the clog or the dead heater and the call is routed on.
Call (717) 897-7332Water service and what it means for a leak
Pennsylvania American Water serves at least part of the borough through its Mechanicsburg system; a boil water advisory for Lowther Street customers is on record, and the company's February 2026 notice lists parts of Lemoyne. For discolored water, low street pressure or a main break, call Pennsylvania American Water at 1-800-565-7292. Anything after your own shutoff valve belongs to a plumber.
A water bill that climbs with no change in habits is the most common sign of a leak, and the meter test on the hidden leak searches separates a house leak from a main-side one.
Heaters, fixtures and wet floors
Water heater replacement is the job people usually have in mind when they ask for an installer; the plumber matches size and fuel type to the old unit. If a leaking tank has wet the floor, removal and drying are covered under drying after a leak. Dripping faucets, running toilets and a stiff shutoff valve are handled under bathroom fixture repair.
Slow drains and clogs are a separate call, described under clearing a clogged drain, and a sewer backup goes to the borough first, as above. An after-hours call is answered the same way; see how urgent calls are answered for how.
