Plumbing in Windsor homes: what to know
Most Windsor homes date from the 1990s onward, with basements, PEX supply lines, sump pits and gas water heaters in utility rooms. A smaller historic core near Main Street has older plumbing.
Original equipment reaching end of life
Homes built in the early 2000s boom are now on their second or third water heater, and original sump pumps, pressure-reducing valves and fill valves are aging out.
Lake and irrigation groundwater
Neighborhoods near Windsor Lake and irrigation ditches can have seasonal high groundwater, putting heavy load on sump pumps during summer irrigation.
Tornado-era rebuilds
Much of central Windsor was repaired or rebuilt after the May 2008 tornado. Plumbing from that rebuild is now more than fifteen years old, so water heaters, fill valves and supply hoses installed then are due for a look.
