Alamo Heights is one of San Antonio's most established neighborhoods, and its beautiful older homes — many built from the 1920s through the 1960s — come with plumbing from the same era. Zeus Plumbing specializes in the problems those homes develop: aging cast-iron drains, galvanized supply lines and root intrusion from decades-old oak trees.
We provide complete residential plumbing with same-day scheduling available. For urgent issues, call or text 210-698-5003 — emergency texts are answered 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

Older-home plumbing in Alamo Heights
Cast-iron drain lines were the standard when most Alamo Heights homes were built, and after 60 to 100 years the pipe walls corrode, scale and crack. The telltale signs are drains that clog repeatedly, gurgling fixtures and sewage odors — and replacement, often with trenchless methods that spare the landscaping, is usually the lasting fix rather than another clearing.
Mature live oaks are part of what makes the neighborhood beautiful, and their roots are relentless about finding moisture in old sewer laterals. Root intrusion through cracked clay or separated joints is the single most common sewer failure in established neighborhoods, and a camera inspection shows exactly where the roots are and what the pipe's condition is.
Galvanized steel supply piping, common in mid-century Alamo Heights homes, corrodes from the inside until water pressure drops and the water runs discolored. A whole-home repipe with modern materials restores full flow and pressure — and it is one of the highest-value plumbing upgrades an older home can get.
Alamo Heights plumbing FAQ
Do you replace cast-iron drain lines in Alamo Heights?
Yes. We replace failing cast-iron drains, including trenchless repair and relining options that minimize digging in established landscaping.
How do you handle tree root intrusion without destroying my yard?
A camera inspection locates the intrusion first. Depending on the pipe's condition we clear the roots with hydro-jetting or repair the section — trenchless options keep excavation to small access points.
My water pressure is low throughout the house. Is that the galvanized pipes?
Very likely. Internal corrosion in galvanized supply lines is the most common cause of whole-house low pressure in mid-century homes, and a repipe is the permanent fix.
