What goes wrong in Anderson County homes
Pre-1960 homes: galvanized pipe and cast iron
31% of homes in Anderson County's covered ZIP codes were built before 1960. 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.
Winter freezes
56% of homes here were built before 1980, when pipes were more often run through exterior walls and uninsulated crawl spaces. In a cold Tennessee winter those are the lines that freeze and split. See frozen and burst pipe repair.
