What the homes in 75223 mean for plumbing
Houses this old often have plumbing that has been repaired many times by many people. Galvanized supply lines, cast-iron drains, clay sewer laterals and later sections of copper or plastic may all be in one house. Low pressure, discolored water and slow drains are common, and so are leaks at old joints between different materials.
In a conservation district, exterior changes can require city review. Most plumbing work is inside the house, but anything that changes the exterior, such as a new water heater vent, is worth checking first.
