Common Plumbing Issues in Homewood Homes

Aging Pipes & Older Plumbing Materials

Galvanized and cast iron from the 20s through the 50s are near the end. Low pressure, rusty water and slow drains all point the same direction. A repipe takes two to four days in most Homewood houses, and we patch drywall openings small.

Freeze Risk, Storms & Heavy Rain

Shades Creek rises fast. Basements in Edgewood and Hollywood need a working sump pump with battery backup. Hard freezes split exposed lines in crawlspaces and garages, so insulate them before January.

Hard Water & Water Quality

Moderately hard water from Birmingham Water Works scales heaters and tankless units. Annual flushing helps. Homes with original galvanized pipe sometimes see brown water after a shut-off, which is rust from inside the pipe and a sign it's time to repipe.
