Plumbing in Matthews Homes
Matthews grew up around the railroad on Trade Street, and a few homes near downtown date back generations. Most of the town, though, was built from the 1970s through the 1990s. Homes from that span can have polybutylene water pipe, a gray plastic line known to crack with age, or copper lines starting to pinhole.
Older sewer lines in established neighborhoods may be clay or cast iron, and mature trees can push roots into them. The red clay soil here also swells and shrinks with the weather, which can shift a buried line. A camera inspection shows what is going on before anyone digs.
