Homes and plumbing in Pickens
In-town homes are older crawl space builds, while farmhouses and mountain homes rely on wells and septic. Exposed lines in well houses and under raised homes are vulnerable when cold air pours off the mountains.
Water, sewer and septic in Pickens
City water serves the town; wells and septic are the norm elsewhere. Well pumps, frozen pipes and septic lines are the most common calls.
A plumbing tip for Pickens homes
Near the mountains, the well house is often the first place to freeze. A small thermostatically controlled heater and insulation on the pressure tank piping protect it through cold snaps.
