Careful plumbing work for historic East End homes near the Capitol
The East End runs along Kanawha Boulevard on the river's north bank around the West Virginia State Capitol. Much of it is part of the East End Historic District, whose houses date mostly from the 1890s through the early 1900s, and range from Greek Revival and Queen Anne to Neo-Classical, Prairie and Bungalow styles. Holly Grove Mansion, the oldest house in the district, was built in 1815.
Historic homes call for careful work. Plumbing runs behind plaster walls and original woodwork, and many large houses were split into apartments with several bathrooms and water heaters added over time. We take the time to find problems without tearing up more than we have to.
Common Plumbing Issues in East End
- Leaks behind plaster walls. Hidden leaks in older homes can stain ceilings and walls long before you see water.
- Converted multi-unit plumbing. Houses split into apartments often have added bathrooms, shared drains and multiple water heaters.
- Old cast-iron stacks. Original cast-iron drain stacks can crack or corrode, especially at joints and fittings.
- Fixture replacements. Updating fixtures in older bathrooms often means replacing old valves and supply lines too.
