  1. You may have been living comfortably in your dream house for so many years.  Suddenly, the comfort you once enjoyed turns to discomfort due to some plumbing issues in your house, which make some of your plumbing equipment malfunction and not live up to expectations. Plumbing 911, a Northern Ohio plumbing firm, identifies the most common plumbing issues in old houses located in the area.

  2. 5 Most Common Plumbing Issues in Old Houses Here are five most common plumbing issues in old houses located in Northern Ohio, according to Plumbing 911.

  3. OutdatedPiping If your house was built more than 30 years ago, then it’s probably fitted with old and defective piping materials. Piping materials were initially made of lead, galvanized steel and polybutene but they’re now considered old-fashioned and defective. Today, these raw materials are being replaced with cross-linked high-density polyethylene because it’s safe and durable.

  4. Bellied Lines Sometimes, pipes underneath your house may begin to slope. This may make it difficult for water to flow freely and cause blockages and leakages. This may also cause toxic wastewater from your drain and sewer lines to seep into your house. This can be a big mess and pose huge health hazards if left unchecked. Bellies can also threaten the foundation of your house if water seeps through it as a result of slab leaks.

  5. Faulty Sewer Lines and Root Intrusion If you have an old house, another common plumbing issue you may likely face is that sediment may build up in your sewer system and clog your lines. Apart from sediment, roots of trees and shrubs may grow around and into your lines. This can cause clogs and sewer water leaks.

  6. Old Fixtures The plumbing fixtures and connections in your house may begin to wear and tear due to old age. This can cause leakages and flooding. The issue of wear and tear associated with old fixtures is common in places where there’s a significant amount of limescale, which is a white, chalky deposit of calcium carbonate usually found in kettles, washing machines and other home appliances, especially in a hard water area.
