Plumbing in Salt Lake City homes
A lot of Salt Lake City homes, especially in older neighborhoods like Sugar House and the Avenues, were built long before PVC sewer pipe and PEX water lines. Older sewer lines are often clay or cast iron, and mature trees send roots into their joints. That's why a slow main drain in an older home deserves a camera inspection, not just another snaking.
Older galvanized water pipes rust from the inside, which shows up as low pressure, rusty water or pinhole leaks. We find the cause first. Sometimes it's one bad section or a failing pressure-reducing valve, and sometimes the house is due for repiping.
Most of the city's water comes from the Wasatch canyons: City Creek, Big and Little Cottonwood, and Parleys supply nearly 60% of it. Minerals still settle in water heaters over the years, so a tank that pops and rumbles is worth a check before it leaks.
