Plumbing in a Former Mill Town
Kannapolis grew up around the Cannon Mills plant, and many homes near downtown started as mill village houses. Homes that old have often been re-plumbed in stages. It is common to find cast iron or galvanized steel pipe joined to newer plastic lines under the same floor.
Newer subdivisions toward I-85 mostly have plastic drains and PEX supply lines, a flexible plastic tubing. Their problems tend to be water heaters reaching the end of their life, worn fixtures and everyday clogs. Red Piedmont clay shifts as it wets and dries, which can stress buried sewer lines.

Kannapolis Plumbing Questions
Yes. Kannapolis crosses the county line, and we work on both sides. The pipes do not change at the line, but the permit office can. If a job needs a permit, we will tell you which office handles your address before the work starts.
Many older mill village homes have a mix. You might find cast iron drains, galvanized steel water lines and newer plastic repairs, all in one crawl space. Galvanized pipe rusts from the inside, which lowers water pressure over time. We can look and tell you what you have.
In most cases, the homeowner owns the line from the house to the public sewer main, including the part under the yard. Check with the city utility to confirm where your section ends. We can inspect your part of the line and explain its condition before you decide on any repair.
