Plano has a unique mix of residents — in fact, it is known for being a hub of young, white-collar professionals in the tech industry, much like Silicon Valley. Many are single and starting their lives in upwardly mobile careers. About two-thirds are homeowners, have college degrees and live in single-family homes. Nearly half of the homes in Plano are 4+ bedrooms, costing over $400,000 on average and taking up way more space than houses in Dallas. Nearly all of the homes in Plano are older construction, with 75 percent of houses being built between 1970 and 1999, giving the city a very “Brady Bunch” mid-century ranch look.
Current home buyers are searching for bigger yards and lots, open floor plans, vaulted ceilings, modern kitchens and swimming pools — showing that there is high interest in kitchen and bathroom renovations and modern efficiency.
Besides the usual plumbing wear and tear you would expect with older homes, there are some common issues Legacy Plumbing runs into with homes built before the year 2000.
- Cast iron sewer piping: Cast iron is heavy, quiet, and durable when first installed, but over time it starts to rust away and fall apart. This is accelerated by liquid drain cleaners and detergents that are put down the drain. See our page on drain line replacement for more information.
- Galvanized steel water pipes: Galvanized steel water pipes were common in the 1950s and are in need of replacement because they have a typical 50-year life span. Look for signs of external corrosion on exposed piping like near the water heaters. Inside, the pipe is corroding as well. Flakes of rust can get into the drinking water too.
- Polybutylene piping: Popular in the 1980s but now against building code, this piping reacted badly to oxidants in the water and broke down easily. Most PB piping has been replaced, but you might need to budget for a new plumbing system if you score a home with this faulty piping. In Plano, this piping was mostly used as the main water service line between the water meter and the house.
- Copper pipes: Most Plano plumbers can tell you that most older homes in the area have copper pipes that are vulnerable to corrosion, which can eventually result in pinhole leaks under the slab.
- Mature trees vs. sewer lines: The old-growth trees in a neighborhood may have been part of its appeal, but roots and branches can wreak havoc with sewer lines. Offshoots can grow into fractured pipes and clog them. Getting to the problem is easy for Legacy technicians who will use state-of-the-art technology to properly diagnose the issue.
- Shifting foundations: Again, mature trees can be the culprit here, changing the composition under the home’s foundation. When the foundation moves, it can damage the water and sewer pipes underneath.
