What Old Hickory houses mean for the pipe underneath
Houses built before the war sent their waste out through vitrified clay tile laid in short sections, and every one of those joints is a door for roots, so a camera run here usually meets roots before anything else.
Lakeside homes are often on septic or a pumped connection to the sewer, and both need care near the water: a field cannot be crowded toward the shore, and a grinder pump with a working alarm keeps an overflow from running downhill to the lake.
The earliest houses of the seventies may still have Orangeburg; the rest have early PVC or ABS that holds up in the run but has spent forty-odd years in shifting clay, so the camera tends to find a separated joint or a sag near the foundation.
In the historic district nobody wants a trench through an old front walk, a stone wall or a street tree, so a lateral here is lined or burst from small pits wherever the footage says the pipe will allow it.
In a crawl-space house the drain lines can be reached, and a cast-iron run hanging from the joists can be inspected and replaced in sections from below without opening a floor.

Why Old Hickory homes call us about their drains
Nashville grew outward in rings, and the pipe under each ring dates it: clay tile and cast iron in the prewar neighborhoods, Orangeburg in many houses from the mid-1940s into the early 1970s, and PVC after that. The year a house went up tells us what the camera is likely to meet.
- Water rising in the tub when a toilet flushes
- A floor drain that gurgles as the washer empties
- The lowest drain in the house backing up first
- A line that clears with a cable and closes within weeks
Closing on a house without a scope. Most home inspections stop at the fixtures. In Metro Nashville the owner is responsible for the sewer line from the house out to the public main, and a scope before closing is the only look at it you get while it is still the seller’s.

How much does sewer and drain cost in Old Hickory?

Lakeside homes are often on septic or a pumped connection to the sewer, and both need care near the water: a field cannot be crowded toward the shore, and a grinder pump with a working alarm keeps an overflow from running downhill to the lake.
