West Goshen emergency overview
Round-the-clock dispatch
One number covers houses, shops and offices in West Goshen, and the emergency dispatch behind it runs around the clock, holidays included.
House or business
Tell the dispatcher which it is, because a burst supply line in a house and a backed-up floor drain in a shop need different crews.
Next to the borough
West Goshen borders West Chester Borough, so many calls come from addresses that are only a few blocks from the borough line.
Emergency calls in a township with many kinds of buildings
West Goshen was split from Goshen Township in 1817 and has grown from farmland into a township with homes, offices, car dealerships and the QVC Studio Park campus on Wilson Drive. Brandywine Airport and many West Chester University buildings, including the Graduate Center on McDermott Drive, are within its borders.
That mix produces different emergencies. A homeowner has a burst supply line. A shop has a backed-up floor drain.
A large building has a failed water heater serving many users. The line takes all three, and the dispatcher asks which one you have so the right plumber is sent.

Sewer and permits for an emergency in West Goshen
West Goshen Township handles sewer and code enforcement from its office on Paoli Pike, which is the number to call if you suspect a municipal main issue or need to ask about a permit. If only your house is backing up, the cause is usually in your own drain or lateral, and a camera finds it.
For repeated backups, start with the camera inspection process. For a single stubborn clog, emergency drain cleaning is the first step. For a business with grease or heavy daily use, commercial plumbing and jetting keep the lines moving.
Storms and the township line
The remnants of Ida on 1 and 2 September 2021 tested drainage across Chester County. If your property saw water then, a pump check and a look at the downspouts is a sensible winter job. The neighboring township to the east, East Goshen, is separated from West Goshen by Airport Road, and both are served by the same line.
