What the homes in 75212 mean for plumbing
Older West Dallas homes often have galvanized supply lines, cast-iron or clay drains and patched repairs. New construction next door uses PEX and PVC. The contrast matters when a new home ties into older city mains or when an older home's sewer lateral is disturbed by construction nearby.
Homes in the low ground near the river levee can see slow drainage during heavy rain, and backwater valves are worth asking about if sewage backs up during storms.
