Why Irvington faces water damage risk
"A well-preserved house doesn’t mean well-preserved pipes" — the honest angle for Irvington.
Irvington is known for its well-preserved early-1900s residential architecture.
The neighborhood has extensive mature tree-lined streets.
Many larger historic homes have had fixtures added over the decades.
Century-old original supply lines beneath cosmetically preserved homes, mature tree root intrusion into drain lines, and larger homes with added fixtures over time outpacing original pipe sizing are all genuine water-damage risk factors here.
