Plumbing in Alamo Heights: what we see
Many homes date from the 1920s through the 1950s: galvanized supply lines, cast iron and clay sewer laterals, and mature trees whose roots find every joint. Additions and remodels often tie new PEX into original drains that were never sized for today's bathrooms. Camera inspections of the main line and a clear repipe-or-not decision are the most common needs we see here.

Should I repipe an older Alamo Heights home before a remodel?
If the home still has galvanized supply, usually yes: walls are already open and repiping later costs far more. We review what's in place, camera the drains and help you scope a remodel that doesn't leave old pipe behind new tile.
Do tree roots really damage sewer lines in Alamo Heights?
They are one of the most common causes of backups in older clay and cast iron laterals. A sewer camera inspection shows whether you need cleaning, a spot repair or a full lateral replacement before you pay for one.
