Common Plumbing Issues in Cortland Homes

Cortland sits in the Chicago metro area, which means Cortland homes share common plumbing challenges tied to aging housing stock, harsh Illinois winters, and Chicago\'s combined stormwater-sanitary sewer system. These are the six issues we see most often:

Cast iron drain failure in older homes

Many homes in Cortland and the Chicago metro have original cast iron drain stacks from the 1950s – 1980s. Internal corrosion creates channeling and recurring backups. We diagnose with camera inspection and replace with modern PVC or cast iron per code.

Galvanized water supply pipes

Homes built before 1960 in Cortland often have galvanized steel water supply lines. Internal rust narrows the pipes and causes low pressure, discolored water, and eventual failure. PEX or copper repipe restores full pressure and water quality.

Frozen and burst pipes during polar vortex

Cortland winters regularly drop below 0°F. Uninsulated pipes in garages, crawlspaces, and exterior walls freeze and burst. We provide 24/7 emergency thaw and repair, plus pre-winter pipe insulation and freeze-protection upgrades.

Sewer backups during heavy rain

Chicago-area sewer systems combine stormwater and sanitary flow. Heavy rain events overload the system and cause basement sewage backups in Cortland. We install backwater valves and overhead sewer conversions that are MWRD rebate-eligible.

Tree root intrusion in sewer laterals

Mature parkway trees in Cortland grow roots into old clay tile and Orangeburg sewer laterals. Symptoms include recurring backups, gurgling drains, and sewage odors. We rod, jet, camera-inspect, and replace with trenchless methods where possible.

Water heater failures

Chicago's hard water reduces water heater life to roughly 8 – 12 years. Cortland homes frequently need tank replacement, anode rod service, and (increasingly) tankless conversions. We service all major brands and pull all required permits.
