Belmont homes and their plumbing
Older homes can have galvanized supply lines, cast iron or clay drains and crawl spaces with exposed pipe. Newer homes on the South Point peninsula are mostly PEX and PVC, often with irrigation.
Renovating mill-era homes
Opening walls in an older Belmont home is the right time to replace galvanized supply lines and check the drain stack. It is much cheaper than reopening finished walls later.
Root intrusion
Mature trees in older neighborhoods mean roots in clay sewer laterals. Repeat backups and gurgling toilets are the usual early signs.
Waterfront irrigation
Newer homes near the lake often have irrigation with backflow assemblies that need yearly testing and freeze protection.

Plumbing questions from Belmont
Why does my older Belmont home have low water pressure upstairs?
Galvanized supply lines narrow as they corrode, and the loss is most noticeable on upper floors and when two fixtures run at once. A pressure test at the main and at the fixtures shows whether the pipe or the pressure regulator is to blame.
My older home has three kinds of pipe. Is that a problem?
Not by itself, but transitions between galvanized, copper and plastic are common leak points. An inspection shows which sections are due for replacement.
Who issues plumbing permits in Belmont?
Plumbing permits in Belmont are generally issued through Gaston County's building inspections office.
