Common Plumbing Issues in Vestavia Hills Homes

Aging Pipes & Older Plumbing Materials

Galvanized supply lines rust shut from the inside. Cast iron drains scale and crack. If your house went up before 1975 and hasn't been repiped, low pressure at one fixture is usually the first sign. We repipe in PEX or copper, two to four days for most homes.

Freeze Risk, Storms & Heavy Rain

Exposed pipe in crawlspaces and garages splits during the hard freezes we get most winters. Heavy rain on the slopes pushes groundwater into basements and crawlspaces, which is where sump pumps and good drainage earn their keep.

Hard Water & Water Quality

Water here is moderately hard. It shortens water heater life, clogs aerators and leaves scale in tankless units. A flush every year or two and a softener where it makes sense keeps the equipment running.
