Plumbing in Milliken homes: what to know
Housing includes older farm-town homes, manufactured homes and newer subdivisions with basements. Rural properties nearby may be on wells and septic.
Flood-era repairs
Some homes had plumbing repaired quickly after the 2013 flood. Sewer lines and basement drains affected then are worth a camera inspection if backups recur.
Manufactured-home plumbing
Manufactured homes have supply and drain lines under the floor and heat tape on the service line; these freeze and fail in cold snaps if not protected.
Heat tape and exposed risers
Where water lines rise into manufactured homes or well houses, heat tape and insulation are the only freeze protection. Checking them each fall prevents most winter emergencies.
