Plumbing in Old and New Charlotte
Charlotte's oldest neighborhoods, like Dilworth, Myers Park and Plaza Midwood, have many homes built before 1950. Those houses can still have cast iron drains, galvanized water lines and clay sewer pipe under the yard. The city's large willow oaks send roots toward that clay pipe, and root clogs in the sewer line are a common call.
Neighborhoods built from the 1980s on, such as University City and Ballantyne, mostly have plastic drains. Some homes from the late 1970s to mid 1990s were built with polybutylene, a gray plastic water pipe known to crack with age. Shops, offices and restaurants have their own needs, from grease-heavy kitchen drains to several restrooms on one line.
