Homes in Columbus: what pros run into
Blueprint Columbus uses green infrastructure to reduce sewer overflows. The Dublin Road plant treats water from the Scioto River and the Griggs and O'Shaughnessy reservoirs.
Electrical, HVAC and plumbing contractors must hold an Ohio state license before getting a city license. Houses updated in stages can have three kinds of pipe under one roof, and the spots where old meets new deserve a close look during any repair.
Hard freezes are the big risk. Pipes along outside walls, in crawl spaces and near garage doors can split, and the leak often shows up only after the thaw. The Parsons Avenue plant treats groundwater from a wellfield.
Permits, licenses and your utility
Ohio licenses commercial plumbing contractors at the state level, and cities license residential plumbers, so ask about both. Before a plumber opens a wall or digs up a yard, ask what they expect to find, what could change the plan, and whether the work will need a permit from Building and Zoning Services.

Common questions
How do I find my main water shutoff?
Look where the water line enters the building, often near the meter in a basement, utility room or garage. In apartments there may be one shutoff per building, so ask your landlord where it is before you need it.
How long do water supply lines last?
It depends on the material. Copper can last many decades, while older galvanized pipe tends to narrow and rust. Braided connectors under sinks and toilets are worth replacing every several years.
Should I use chemical drain cleaner?
Use it sparingly, if at all. Harsh chemicals can damage older pipes and make the job riskier for the plumber who comes next. Tell them if you have already poured something in.
