Craftsman homes built in the early 1900s have solid construction and, usually, plumbing that has been upgraded more than once. The fixtures are a mix of the original and whatever was added over the decades.

The upgrades
Most have been partially modernized over the years, leaving a patchwork of materials and connections that a pro sorts out before making changes.
The charm
The built-ins, woodwork, and tile are part of the value, so the plumbing work is done around them. hard water is common, and summer heat and shifting soils put pressure on underground lines In Bryan, the character is what buyers come for.
The water heater
The closet was not built for a modern tank, so the heater is often tucked into a corner or relocated during a repipe.
The repair
A camera and a careful inspection find the aging drains before they fail, and targeted replacement beats a surprise.
