Roanoke Valley & Botetourt plumbing questions

Should I camera the sewer line before buying an older Roanoke home?

Absolutely — more than in any market we serve. Pre-war neighborhoods like Grandin, Raleigh Court and Old Southwest run on original terra-cotta laterals under 80-year-old street trees. A $200–300 camera inspection routinely surfaces (or rules out) a five-figure repair before you're the one paying for it.

My old home's water pressure is weak — can it be fixed without repiping?

Sometimes — a clogged PRV, a half-closed main valve or one bad section can be the culprit. But if the house still runs galvanized supply lines, they close up internally with rust and the pressure loss is systemic. We diagnose honestly: repair when it's one part, repipe when it's the pipes.
