Clover is a small town in northern York County with a historic downtown, older neighborhoods and rural homes on larger lots. Census data shows about 21% of homes built before 1960 and 53% since 2000. In town, older homes bring aging supply pipe and drains; outside town, wells and septic systems are common.
Common plumbing problems in Clover
What goes wrong in older Clover homes?
Galvanized supply pipe narrows and corrodes with age, causing low pressure and rusty water, and older drains can crack. Homes on crawl spaces also have exposed pipe that can freeze.
Why is my well pressure low or pulsing?
Usually a waterlogged pressure tank or a failing pressure switch rather than the house plumbing. A plumber can test both; the well pump itself is often a well contractor's job.
Is a septic backup a plumbing problem?
A clog between the house and the tank is; a full tank or failing drain field is a septic contractor's job. A plumber can clear and camera the line to tell which.
