Plumbing service for the Edgewood Historic District
Edgewood, on Charleston's West Side, was the city's first planned suburb. It developed in the early 20th century, and its historic district, listed on the National Register in 1989, includes Colonial Revival, Craftsman and Bungalow homes along Edgewood Drive, Chester Road and the surrounding streets.
Homes that are around 100 years old often still have original plumbing in the walls and under the yard. Replacing galvanized supply pipe, clearing old cast-iron or clay drains and updating fixtures are common jobs here, and we take care to protect original woodwork and finishes.
Common Plumbing Issues in Edgewood
- Original galvanized pipe. Galvanized supply lines clog with rust over time, reducing pressure and discoloring water.
- Clay and cast-iron sewer lines. Old sewer laterals are prone to root intrusion and cracks.
- Hilly lots. Sloped yards can make sewer runs long and send water toward foundations.
- Bathroom updates. Older tubs, valves and faucets often need replacing together.
