1950s–1960s Homes — Galvanized steel supply pipes (corroded, restricted flow), cast iron drain stacks (internal deterioration), lead solder on copper joints, clay tile sewer lines (root intrusion). These homes benefit most from proactive pipe assessment and selective repiping.

1970s–1980s Homes — Copper supply lines (generally good condition), possible polybutylene supply pipes (failure-prone), early PVC drain piping, and transition-era sewer materials. Check for polybutylene — if present, replacement is strongly recommended.

1990s–2000s Homes — Copper or PEX supply systems, PVC drain/waste/vent, PVC sewer laterals. Generally reliable but watch for brass fitting failures, water heater age, and sump pump condition.

2010s–Present — Modern PEX supply, PVC DWV, and PVC sewer systems with fewer joints and better materials. Issues are typically related to installation quality rather than material degradation.

Illinois law requires plumbing work to be performed by licensed plumbers. This isn't just a formality — it protects your home, your family, and your investment:

Code Compliance — Licensed plumbers understand Illinois Plumbing Code requirements and Arlington Heights local amendments. Improperly installed plumbing can create health hazards (cross-connections, sewer gas exposure) and structural damage.

Permit & Inspection — Work that requires a permit must be performed by a licensed plumber. The Village of Arlington Heights building department enforces this requirement. Unpermitted work can create problems when selling your home.

Insurance Protection — If unlicensed plumbing work causes damage, your homeowner's insurance may deny the claim. Licensed plumber work is backed by both the plumber's insurance and your homeowner's policy.

Accountability — Licensed plumbers answer to the Illinois Department of Public Health. Permitted work is inspected, which means an independent inspector verifies the job meets code.
