What the homes in 75211 mean for plumbing
Post-war houses from the 1940s and 1950s dominate many streets. Original galvanized supply lines, cast-iron drains and clay sewer laterals are still common, often with sections replaced over the years. Slab leaks, root intrusion and water heaters in tight closets or garages are among the frequent calls.
If your home is inside Cockrell Hill, that city, not Dallas, handles permits and code rules even though the mailing city may say Dallas.
