Common Plumbing Issues in Bessemer Homes
Aging Pipes & Older Plumbing Materials
Galvanized steel rusts shut from the inside and leaks at the threads. Cast iron cracks along the bottom. Clay laterals open at the joints and fill with roots. A PEX repipe and a lined or replaced sewer line end the cycle of patch repairs.
Freeze Risk, Storms & Heavy Rain
Uninsulated crawlspaces get cold enough to split pipe in a hard freeze. Heavy rain overwhelms old laterals and pushes water into basements. Insulate exposed lines, and put a sump pump where water collects.
Hard Water & Water Quality
Moderately hard water scales heaters. Brown water after a shut-off is rust from old galvanized pipe, not the utility. Both are signs it's time to talk about new supply lines.
