Plumbing service for South Charleston homes and businesses
South Charleston sits on the south bank of the Kanawha River just west of Charleston. It was established in 1906 and grew quickly around industry, including the World War I-era naval ordnance plant, and its downtown still sits beside the Adena-built Criel Mound.
Many homes here went up during the city's industrial growth in the first half of the 20th century, so original galvanized supply lines and clay or cast-iron sewer laterals are common. We also serve the shops and offices around downtown South Charleston.
Common Plumbing Issues in South Charleston
- Galvanized water lines. Older galvanized steel pipe corrodes from the inside, causing low pressure, rusty water and pinhole leaks.
- Clay sewer laterals and roots. Older clay sewer pipe has joints that tree roots can work into, leading to slow drains and backups.
- Commercial drain clogs. Restaurant and shop drains collect grease and debris and need regular cleaning to keep flowing.
- Low water pressure. Pressure problems in older homes are often caused by corroded pipe or a failing pressure regulator.
