The houses
Mostly 1890 to 1925
Crocus Hill houses are tall and narrow, which is good news for plumbing: the bathrooms usually sit one above the other on a single stack. When something leaks, it tends to show in the room below within a day.
What we see here
Original baths on lead wastes
Concealed valves that have wept for years
Third-floor bathrooms fed by a half-inch line
If you are adding a bathroom at the top of the house, ask us about the riser before the walls are closed.
