What goes wrong in Logan County homes
Pre-1960 homes: galvanized pipe and cast iron
39% of homes in Logan County's covered ZIP codes were built before 1960, 25% 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.
Long, hard winters
59% of homes here were built before 1980, when pipes were more often run through exterior walls and uninsulated crawl spaces. In a long Ohio winter those are the lines that freeze and split. See frozen and burst pipe repair.
Propane service
23% 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
Ohio water is generally hard. With 45% of homes here on gas, scale settles as sediment in gas water heater tanks, which then rumble and wear out early. See water softener installation.
