What the homes in 75208 mean for plumbing
Kessler Park's hilly lots and Winnetka Heights' early twentieth-century homes both bring their own plumbing quirks. Hillside homes may have long sewer laterals running downhill with steep sections, while older homes in the historic districts often still have cast-iron drains, galvanized supply and old shutoff valves that no longer close.
Restorations commonly modernize kitchens and baths, but tying new fixtures into old drain lines can expose weak spots. A camera inspection before a remodel avoids surprises.
