Plumbing problems we see in Charlotte
Older homes in Myers Park and Dilworth
Many were built before copper became standard. Galvanized supply lines clog from inside and cast iron drains corrode. Low pressure and rusty water are the early signs.
Root intrusion in sewer laterals
Big mature trees are the charm of the older neighborhoods, but their roots find joint gaps in old clay and cast iron lines. A camera tells us whether you need cleaning or repair.
Growth zones and builder grade fixtures
In newer areas around Ballantyne and the north side, we see fast built homes with cheap fittings that start leaking at year ten.
