Homes and plumbing in Augusta Road
Many houses here date from the 1920s through the 1950s. Original clay sewer laterals, cast iron drains inside, and galvanized supply lines are common, along with renovations that mixed new PEX with old steel. Each mix point is a place a leak can start.
Water, sewer and septic in Augusta Road
Homes are on Greenville Water and city sewer. Because so many lots have big trees near the lateral, a camera inspection before buying or renovating here is one of the best inexpensive checks you can make.
A plumbing tip for Augusta Road homes
Before planting or removing a large tree near the street side of your lot, ask for a camera look at the sewer lateral. Roots follow the old clay joints, and a tree removal can also leave decaying roots that collapse a weak section.

Questions from Augusta Road homeowners
Why do Augusta Road homes get so many sewer clogs?
Older clay laterals have joints that roots can enter, and the neighborhood has a lot of large trees. Clearing the roots helps; lining or replacing the damaged section stops it.
Can an Augusta Road renovation keep the original plumbing?
Sometimes, but galvanized supply lines in open walls are worth replacing while the walls are open.
