The houses
Mostly 1880 to 1920
The houses along Summit and the streets behind it are the oldest we work in. Most have been replumbed at least once, usually in pieces, so one wall can hold three generations of pipe.
What we see here
Galvanised supply lines that have closed up inside
Cast-iron stacks with lead joints
Radiators on a loop that nobody has balanced in decades
We carry fittings for all three on the van, so most repairs here are finished on the first visit.
