Homes and plumbing in Roper Mountain
Hilly lots mean long sewer laterals and, in some homes, lower levels that drain uphill to a pump. Older homes may still have their original copper and cast iron, while newer homes use PEX and PVC.
Water, sewer and septic in Roper Mountain
Most homes are on Greenville Water and public sewer. Root-filled laterals on wooded lots, aging water heaters and sump or ejector pumps on lower levels are frequent calls.
A plumbing tip for Roper Mountain homes
On sloped wooded lots, mark where the sewer lateral runs before planting new trees or adding a retaining wall. Most root problems here trace back to a tree planted right over the line.

Questions from Roper Mountain homeowners
Why do homes on Roper Mountain have long sewer lines?
Hilly, wooded lots often put the house well back from the street, so the lateral runs a long way and passes more tree roots on the way.
My Roper Mountain basement bathroom has a pump. What should I check?
Listen for the pump cycling and check that the alarm, if there is one, still works. A failed ejector pump means the lower bathroom cannot drain.
