What the homes in 75224 mean for plumbing
Houses of that era started out with galvanized supply lines, cast-iron drains and clay sewer laterals. Many still have some of them, and the original materials are now around 70 years old. Weak water pressure, discolored water, slow or gurgling drains and sewer backups from roots are the most common signs of aging pipe here.
Slab-on-grade ranches over Dallas clay also see slab leaks and cracked drains under the floor.
