Common Plumbing Issues in Mountain Brook Homes

Aging Pipes & Older Plumbing Materials

Galvanized steel from the 20s through the 60s rusts shut and leaks at the threads. Cast iron drains crack along the bottom. Clay laterals separate at the joints and let roots in. A repipe in PEX or copper, and a lined or replaced sewer, fixes it for the next 50 years.

Freeze Risk, Storms & Heavy Rain

Uninsulated crawlspaces and old basements get cold enough to split pipe during a hard freeze. Heavy rain raises groundwater, and basements without a working sump pump take on water. We install and service both.

Hard Water & Water Quality

Moderately hard water scales up tankless units and shortens tank life. Older homes with galvanized pipe can also see discolored water. A flush schedule, a softener where you want one, and new supply lines solve all three.
