What goes wrong in Morgan County homes
Long, hard winters
53% of homes here were built before 1980, when pipes were more often run through exterior walls and uninsulated crawl spaces. In a long Indiana winter those are the lines that freeze and split. See frozen and burst pipe repair.
Pre-1960 homes: galvanized pipe and cast iron
27% of homes in Morgan County's covered ZIP codes were built before 1960, 14% of them before 1940. Houses that old often still have galvanized steel supply lines that rust closed from the inside, and cast iron or clay sewer pipe that cracks and lets roots in. Weak pressure at upstairs fixtures, brown water after a shutoff and slow drains are the usual clues. Typical fixes are whole-house repiping and a sewer camera inspection.
Propane service
17% of homes here use bottled or tank propane for heat, typical of areas beyond the gas mains. Propane water heaters, ranges and generators need correctly sized lines and fittings rated for LP. See gas appliance hookups.
Hard water
Indiana water is generally hard. With 40% of homes here on electric heat, scale on electric water heater elements is a frequent failure. See water softener installation.
