Local plumbing issues in Jackson
Yazoo clay movement
Jackson sits on Yazoo clay, which swells and shrinks dramatically and cracks foundations, slab plumbing and sewer lines.
Low pressure and boil notices
Pressure drops and boil-water notices are more common than in most cities. Homeowners often add whole-house filters and check for leaks after pressure returns.
Winter freezes
Occasional hard freezes split pipes in crawl spaces and exterior walls in homes built for heat.
Older crawl-space homes
Belhaven and Fondren homes on crawl spaces have pipes that are easy to reach but exposed to humidity and the occasional hard freeze, and galvanized lines there often show low pressure.
