Common Plumbing Problems In Older Homes

Older homes can be quite charming. Many people often buy them because they are more affordable and are in good locations. Unfortunately, there are some downsides to owning an older home. One of them is older homes can have plumbing problems.

One of the common plumbing problems in older homes is the pipes. Many older homes have galvanized pipes. They can rust and reduce water pressure. The rust in the pipes will cause water to become discolored.

Sewer lines are also a problem in older homes. After being around for many years, tree roots may grow in the sewer lines. The tree roots can cause cracks to form in the sewer lines. The tree roots can also cause clogging.

Drainage is also a common problem found in older homes. They are prone to clogs. The drains that get clogged the most in older homes are the kitchen, bathroom sink, and toilet.

Many older homes have original fixtures. Sometimes older fixtures are made of good quality: sometimes they are not. They can become worn out after years of use. Faucets and valves may leak and cause water damage.

A nice hot shower is great after a long day. Unfortunately, water heaters in older homes can prevent that. Most water heaters only last for about 15 years. They can cause low water pressure, discoloration of water, and leaks in older homes.

There are pros and cons to everything. Older homes are often in great neighborhoods and are cheaper than newer houses. One of the cons of older homes is plumbing issues.
