Cypress grew rapidly in the 1950s and 1960s as dairy farms and agricultural land were converted into residential tracts. The city was incorporated in 1956 and most of its housing stock was built by the mid-1970s. These homes used galvanized steel supply lines and cast iron drain pipes, the standard materials of the era.
After 50 to 70+ years of hard water, these galvanized pipes are severely corroded, causing low water pressure, rusty water, and recurring leaks. Cast iron sewer lines are cracking and root-invaded. S&E Plumbing specializes in exactly these types of aging plumbing systems.
Cypress Neighborhoods We Know Inside and Out
Cypress developed primarily in two decades. Here is what we find in each era.
West Cypress / Lincoln Avenue Area
1950s to early 1960s
The earliest Cypress tracts, built on former dairy farmland. Galvanized steel supply lines and cast iron drain pipes. After 60 to 70 years, galvanized pipes are severely corroded. Full PEX repiping is the permanent solution.
Central Cypress / Cypress College Area
1960s
Mid-development tract homes near Cypress College. Mix of galvanized and early copper supply lines with cast iron drain. Many homes have had partial updates but still have original galvanized in the walls. Complete repiping eliminates the patchwork.
East Cypress / Los Alamitos Border
1960s to 1970s
Later development with copper supply lines (M-type) and ABS or cast iron drain systems. At 50 to 60 years old, copper pinhole leaks are becoming common, especially on hot water lines.
North Cypress / Stanton Border
1950s to 1960s
Similar to West Cypress with galvanized supply and cast iron drain. These homes are the most common candidates for repiping in the city. Many have had multiple patch repairs over the decades.
Cypress Village / Newer Areas
1990s to 2000s
Newer townhome and condo developments built on former commercial or industrial sites. Copper supply with ABS drain in good condition. Common needs are water heater replacement and fixture upgrades.
Cypress Hard Water and Your Plumbing
Cypress receives water from multiple sources including local groundwater and imported water. The water is typically 14 to 20 GPG hardness. In homes with 50 to 70 year old galvanized pipes, decades of hard water have accelerated internal corrosion dramatically. A water softener installed today will protect new pipes and extend the life of your water heater.
