Why do Chestnut Hill homes often have mixed old and new pipework?
These houses have been improved room by room for over a century, so a renewed kitchen can sit on original galvanized lines and a new bathroom can drain into an old cast iron stack. A plumber maps what is actually there before quoting, rather than assuming the whole house matches its newest room.
Can I switch from tank to tankless during replacement?
In Chestnut Hill, often, yes, if gas supply, venting or electrical capacity support it. It is a bigger job than a like for like swap.
What happens to my old water heater?
In Chestnut Hill, removal and disposal are normally included in the agreed replacement scope, and the plumber confirms this before work starts. The old unit is drained, disconnected and taken away, and the area is left clean with the new unit running and tested.
