Homes and plumbing in Overbrook
Older houses here often have cast iron drains and clay sewer laterals, while rebuilt and renovated homes have modern plastic piping tied into those older lines. The joint between old and new is a common failure point.
Water, sewer and septic in Overbrook
Overbrook is on Greenville Water and city sewer. Root intrusion at clay lateral joints and scale in cast iron drains are the two most common drain problems we see.
A plumbing tip for Overbrook homes
When a renovation ties new plastic drains into an old cast iron or clay line, ask where the transition coupling is. That spot is the first place to check when a slow drain or a sewer smell shows up years later.

Questions from Overbrook homeowners
Is hydro jetting a good idea for old Overbrook drains?
On sound cast iron it removes scale far better than a cable. We camera the line first to make sure it can take the pressure.
My Overbrook home was renovated. Why do I still have drain issues?
Renovations often tie new piping into the original sewer lateral. If that lateral is old clay or cast iron, it is often the source.
