Homes in J-Town
What we see most in older J-Town houses.
Half of the homes in Jeffersontown were built before 1978, says the Census. About a third went up in the 1970s alone. Many houses are now 40 to 60 years old. At that age, these are the common plumbing calls:
- Sewer lines that roots or age have damaged. A camera usually shows the condition before you pay for a repair.
- Original water lines in the yard wearing out. They show up as low pressure or a wet spot in the yard.
- Old shut-off valves that no longer close all the way.
- Bathrooms ready for a remodel, where the plumbing needs moving or replacing.
J-Town businesses
Jeffersontown has a big business base. The Bluegrass Commerce Park alone has about 850 businesses, says the city. There are also restaurants and shops along the main roads. Parker works for restaurants and local businesses as well as homes. See commercial plumbing.
