Louisville Biggest Plumbing Problems

Aging Cast Iron and Galvanized in Historic Neighborhoods

Louisville historic neighborhoods like the Highlands, Crescent Hill, NuLu, and Old Louisville have homes from the 1880s through 1940s with cast iron drain systems and galvanized supply lines now 80 to 140 years old.

Polybutylene and PEX Failures in 1980s Through 2000s Suburbs

Louisville suburban growth in the 1980s through 2000s produced large neighborhoods with polybutylene supply lines now failing and PEX systems with brass crimp fittings now 20 to 30 years old.

Frozen Pipes in Kentucky Winters

Louisville experiences significant winter cold with temperatures regularly dropping below 10F. Polar vortex events push below zero. Historic row houses and older neighborhoods with uninsulated plumbing are most vulnerable.

Tree Root Sewer Intrusion from Louisville Tree Canopy

Louisville established neighborhoods have mature tree canopies with root systems seeking out older clay tile sewer laterals. Root intrusion is a consistent cause of recurring sewer backup throughout older Louisville neighborhoods.
