What the homes in 75204 mean for plumbing
On the Uptown side, the common calls are the same as any newer apartment district: clogged kitchen lines, running toilets, leaking dishwasher connections and water heaters in tight closets. Townhomes add their own wrinkle, with three floors of plumbing stacked above a single garage-level water heater.
East of Central, century-old homes may still have cast-iron drains, galvanized supply pipe or a mix of repairs from different decades. A house there that has never been repiped deserves a closer look before a bathroom remodel or after a run of small leaks.
