Leinkauf is filled with beautiful, historic homes — but with that charm comes… some really old plumbing.
We recently got a call from a homeowner dealing with:
- A musty smell under the sink
- Stains forming on the ceiling below the upstairs bathroom
- Low water pressure in the shower
They weren’t sure if it was a small leak or a full-blown pipe issue.
At Adams Plumbing & Drain Company, we specialize in working on vintage and aging plumbing systems, especially in neighborhoods like Leinkauf.
Here’s how we brought this home’s plumbing into the 21st century.
🔍 Before: Rust, Leaks, and Outdated Materials
The moment we opened up the wall and flooring, we found:
- Galvanized steel supply lines with internal rust
- A pinhole leak at a corroded elbow
- A section of cast iron drain pipe sagging with buildup inside
- No proper venting on the lavatory line, causing slow draining
The worst part? The homeowner had no access panel, so previous repairs had just been band-aids.
🛠️ The Work: Full-Scope Plumbing Repair
We:
- Removed 20+ feet of galvanized water line
- Replaced it with PEX-A piping for durability and freeze protection
- Cut and replaced the sagging cast iron with 3″ PVC and new cleanout
- Installed a studor vent under the lavatory to improve drainage
- Rebuilt the wall with a framed, insulated access panel

✅ After: Clean, Quiet, and Leak-Free
The results:
- Water pressure restored
- Drainage running smoothly (no more gurgling)
- Mold smell gone
- Future repairs will be easier thanks to smart access
The homeowner told us:
“I’ve never had someone walk me through the work so clearly. I actually understand my plumbing now.”
