Lewisburg-Based.
Serving Sunbury & Northumberland County.

Sunbury is a city of about 9,000 residents sitting at the confluence of the North and West Branches of the Susquehanna River — one of the oldest cities in central Pennsylvania with a rich industrial history and a housing stock to match. Victorian rowhouses, mid-century bungalows, and post-war ranches sit side by side throughout the city’s established neighborhoods.

That history means Sunbury homes can have almost anything behind the walls. Older properties near downtown frequently have galvanized steel supply lines, cast iron drain stacks, and clay sewer laterals installed decades ago. The city’s sewer system is aging in many areas, making root intrusion and line deterioration a recurring issue for homeowners. Newer construction on the outskirts has shifted to modern PVC, and rural properties throughout Northumberland County townships often run on private wells.

Knauss Plumbing is based in Lewisburg, about 20 miles north of Sunbury via Routes 15 and 11. Sunbury homeowners get the same flat-rate pricing, the same fast scheduling, and the same direct line to Roger as anyone in our primary service area. No extra charge. No longer wait. No second-tier service.
