San Marco homes are gorgeous, but the plumbing behind those beautiful walls tells a different story. Many of these houses were built in the 1920s through 1940s, which means original cast iron drain stacks, galvanized supply lines, and sometimes even clay sewer pipes running to the street. These materials were solid for their time, but they have a shelf life.
Galvanized pipes in San Marco are often the first thing to go. The interior corrodes and builds up mineral deposits until water flow slows to a fraction of what it should be. We frequently repipe San Marco homes from galvanized to PEX or copper, which is a significant improvement in both pressure and water quality.
Historic preservation matters here, and we get that. When we work on San Marco homes, we’re careful about wall access, fixture selection, and keeping the character of the house intact. We’ve matched vintage-style fixtures and worked around plaster walls and original tile many times in this neighborhood.
