Peoria has a lot of different types of homes, from older homes that are close to 100 years old to newer homes that were built just a few years ago.

What's Different About Plumbing in Peoria?

Here in Peoria, a lot of homes are older than the homes in the surrounding areas, and about 1 in 5 homes in Peoria were built before 1939. Many of these older homes still have galvanized pipes, which rust from the inside over time and can cause low water pressure and leaks. Peoria also has thousands of lead water service lines, which is the line that brings water from the street into your home. This is not good, as having a line made of lead does pose certain health risks, so if you think your home has one, you should reach out to Illinois American Water, as they have been replacing these lines at no cost to homeowners.

The water here in Peoria is also very hard, which means minerals build up inside of your water heater, faucets, and showerheads faster than they normally would. This is why we always recommend flushing your water heater about once a year to ensure it is able to last as long as possible. Not only that, but the cold winters can cause pipes to freeze and burst, and the heavy spring rain can be a lot for an older sump pump to handle. If you are having any of these issues, feel free to give us a call and we will be happy to help!
