Plumbing for Townhomes and Townhouses
The short answer
Townhomes share walls, and sometimes sewer or water lines, with neighbors. What's yours and what belongs to the association depends on the HOA's documents. We diagnose the problem and document it so the right party can approve the repair.
Shared walls
Supply and drain lines can run through a shared wall. If a leak shows up there, it may start on either side, so finding the source comes before deciding who handles it.
Shared lines
Who is responsible for a shared line depends on the property's governing documents and the local utility, not on us. Check before work is approved, so the right party signs off.
Check with the HOA first
- Whether the line or fixture is yours or a common element.
- Whether plumbing work needs notice or approval.
- Who to contact if the work affects a neighbor's unit.
Inside your home
Water heaters, fixtures, toilets and small drains are typical homeowner calls, with published starting prices for the common jobs.
