The charming community of Furlong, nestled in the heart of Montgomery County, offers residents a perfect blend of rural tranquility and suburban convenience. From the historic properties along Lower State Road to the newer developments near Rushland Elementary School, and the established neighborhoods around Cross Keys Village, Furlong homeowners take pride in maintaining their properties.
However, many homes in our area face unique plumbing challenges, particularly with water pressure issues that can affect everything from morning showers to lawn irrigation systems. Whether it’s older homes with aging galvanized pipes or newer constructions with improperly sized plumbing systems, water pressure problems don’t discriminate.
That’s where Central Plumbing, Heating & Air Conditioning comes in as your trusted local solution. For over 13 years, we’ve been serving Montgomery County communities like Furlong with comprehensive plumbing services and specialized water pressure testing. Central Plumbing understands the unique infrastructure challenges in our area, from the hard water conditions common throughout Montgomery County to the seasonal pipe stress caused by Pennsylvania’s freeze-thaw cycles.
Central Plumbing provides complete plumbing solutions for Furlong residents and businesses, with particular expertise in water pressure testing and optimization. Our NATE-certified team understands that proper water pressure is crucial for your home’s comfort and your plumbing system’s longevity.
Water pressure testing is essential for identifying hidden issues before they become costly emergencies. We use advanced pressure gauges and flow meters to measure static pressure, working pressure, and flow rates throughout your plumbing system. Our comprehensive testing identifies problems like pressure-reducing valve failures, waterlogged pressure tanks, clogged aerators, and restrictive pipe sizing that can dramatically impact your daily life.
Beyond pressure testing, we handle emergency plumbing situations 24/7 because burst pipes and sewage backups don’t wait for convenient times. Our expertise includes water heater installation and repair for both tankless and traditional systems, covering gas and electric options with proper sizing calculations for optimal performance.
Our drain cleaning and sewer line services utilize modern techniques like hydro-jetting and trenchless sewer repair to minimize disruption to your Furlong property. We’re experts in leak detection and pipe repairs using copper, PEX, and PVC piping materials, ensuring long-lasting solutions that meet local building codes.
Central Plumbing excels in bathroom and kitchen plumbing services, sump pump installation and maintenance, and water treatment systems including water softeners that are particularly important given the hard water conditions throughout Montgomery County.

Our technical expertise includes backflow prevention systems, water pressure regulation, sewage ejector pumps, complete repiping services, water line replacement, and installation of EPA WaterSense certified fixtures that improve efficiency while maintaining excellent performance.
After 13 years serving Montgomery County, Central Plumbing has built an unmatched reputation in Furlong and surrounding communities. While other local service providers may take hours to respond to emergencies, our team typically arrives in under 60 minutes, even for properties near the rural stretches of Lower State Road or the residential areas around Forest Grove Elementary.

Our upfront, transparent pricing means no hidden fees or bill shock that some local competitors are known for. We provide detailed estimates before beginning any work, whether it’s a simple pressure adjustment or a complete water line replacement for homes in the Cross Keys Village area.
While national chain competitors follow rigid corporate policies, Central Plumbing offers the flexibility and personal attention that comes with being locally owned and operated. We’re available 24/7 every day of the year, not just limited evening hours like some area companies.

Jennifer from the Rushland Road area contacted us last month when her water pressure suddenly dropped to barely a trickle throughout her two-story colonial home. Previous plumbers had suggested expensive repiping, but our comprehensive pressure testing revealed a failed pressure-reducing valve and sediment buildup in her main water line.
“I was amazed that Central Plumbing diagnosed the real problem in just 20 minutes,” Jennifer shared. “They had my water pressure back to normal within two hours, and the cost was a fraction of what other companies quoted for unnecessary pipe replacement. Their technician even showed me how to monitor the system myself.”
Robert, who owns a small business near Cross Keys Village, experienced a plumbing emergency when his main water line burst during a February cold snap. Multiple area companies either didn’t answer their phones or quoted 3-4 day response times.
“Central Plumbing arrived at 11 PM on a Sunday in freezing temperatures,” Robert explained. “They had temporary water restored within an hour and completed permanent repairs first thing Monday morning. Their emergency response saved my business from a week-long shutdown.”
Linda from Forest Grove experienced mysterious low water pressure that worsened over several months. Our detailed pressure testing throughout her property revealed multiple issues including corroded galvanized pipes and an oversized pressure tank creating system imbalances.
“Other plumbers just guessed at solutions, but Central Plumbing actually tested everything systematically,” Linda noted. “They found problems I didn’t even know existed and fixed everything properly the first time.”
Central Plumbing recommends annual water pressure testing for homes in Furlong, particularly properties with well water systems or homes built before 1990. Montgomery County’s hard water conditions and seasonal temperature extremes can cause gradual pressure loss that homeowners don’t notice until it becomes severe. Regular testing identifies developing issues like mineral buildup, valve deterioration, or pipe restrictions before they require expensive emergency repairs. Properties near Lower State Road with older galvanized plumbing may benefit from twice-yearly testing to monitor system performance.
Common causes in Furlong include failed pressure-reducing valves, waterlogged pressure tanks, mineral buildup from hard water, corroded galvanized pipes in older homes, and improperly sized plumbing systems in newer constructions. Seasonal factors like frozen pipes during Pennsylvania winters can also create temporary pressure issues. Central Plumbing’s comprehensive testing identifies the exact cause rather than guessing, ensuring proper repairs that restore optimal pressure throughout your property. Our team understands the specific challenges faced by homes in different Furlong neighborhoods.
