The Problem in MLK & Springdale
A mixed housing stock means mixed water damage risk
Original homes throughout the MLK and Springdale area, many dating to the mid-20th century, carry plumbing that has often gone through multiple ownership changes without full updates, raising the odds of an aging pipe or fixture failure.
Newer construction built during the area's recent growth generally carries modern PEX plumbing, but rapid infill development sometimes means variable build quality, which is worth having assessed after any water event regardless of a home's age.
