Plumbing in Alamo Heights: What We Actually See
Much of Alamo Heights was built between the 1920s and the 1950s. The original galvanized supply lines corrode from the inside and slowly strangle water pressure. The cast iron drains scale and crack. The clay sewer laterals have joints, and the neighborhood’s magnificent oak canopy has roots that find them.
None of this is a defect in the house. It is simply what plumbing of that era does after eighty years.
Pressure Complaints and What They Really Mean
A very common Alamo Heights call is “the water pressure has gotten bad.” Occasionally that is a supply issue. More often, in a home of this age, it is decades of corrosion narrowing the inside of galvanized pipe.
That distinction matters, because one is a small fix and the other is a repipe conversation. We test before we tell you which one you are looking at.

Alamo Heights Plumbing FAQs

My water pressure has slowly gotten worse. Why?

Roots do not usually break a sound pipe. They exploit joints and existing cracks in older clay laterals — which is exactly what Alamo Heights has.
