When Greece, NY Homes Start Showing Plumbing Stress: What I See Behind the Walls

Plumbing Problems in Greece, NY | Water Heater, Drain, & Sewer Repairs

Hi, I’m Nate, owner of NDL Plumbing & Electrical.

I work on homes all over Monroe County, but Greece keeps me especially busy, especially when it comes to older sewer lines, failing water heaters, and low water pressure.

Drain Clogs Aren’t Just a Minor Inconvenience in Greece

Greece has a large suburban footprint, which means many homes built decades ago have aging sewer and septic connections.

If you’re dealing with frequent clogs, slow drains, or sewer smells, it’s often more than just hair in the shower drain.

I’ve seen roots in sewer lines, collapsed piping, and even entire sections of clay pipe turned to mush from years of corrosion.

One homeowner called me about a toilet that kept backing up.

It turns out that their 1970s sewer line had nearly disintegrated under the yard.

Your Water Heater May Be on Borrowed Time

Whether it’s gas or electric, if your water heater in Greece is over 10 years old, you’re likely living on borrowed time.

I see a lot of tank failures, especially after snowmelt or storms, when water pressure shifts and older units can’t keep up.

Don’t ignore signs like:

  • Water is taking longer to heat
  • Rumbling or popping sounds
  • Rust-colored water
  • Moisture around the base

If you wait until the tank fails, it could flood your basement or crawl space, and the cleanup can be expensive quickly.

Snowmelt and Sump Pump Overloads

Here’s the thing about Greece: when the snow melts, everything starts moving.

I receive dozens of calls every spring from people with flooded basements or sump pumps that fail in the middle of the night.

If your system is more than 7–10 years old or if it runs constantly during storms, it’s time to have it inspected or replaced.
