Local plumbing issues in Manchester
Frozen pipes
January cold freezes pipes in older multi-family buildings along exterior walls and in unheated hallways and porches.
Shared sewer laterals
Triple-deckers and tenement buildings often share one lateral, so a clog affects every unit.
Combined sewers
Parts of the older city have combined sewers, and heavy rain can back up basement drains.
Older water heaters in shared basements
In multi-family buildings, several water heaters often sit in one basement next to old floor drains. A leaking tank or a clogged drain affects everyone in the building, so landlords often replace heaters on a schedule.
