Older Homes in Tennessee and What That Means for Plumbing
Many homes in Madison were built in an era when galvanized steel or cast iron pipes were standard. Galvanized pipe has a lifespan of 40–70 years; cast iron sewer lines typically last 50–100 years but corrode from the inside out in areas with Tennessee's lime and iron staining. By the time a problem is visible — discolored water, low pressure, slow drains — corrosion is often already advanced. If your home is more than 40 years old and hasn't been repiped, a camera inspection of your sewer lateral and a pressure test on supply lines is worth doing before a failure forces the issue.What Does a Plumber Cost in Madison?
