Nestled on Columbia’s eastern border, Forest Acres dates back to 1935 and exudes a small‑town feel despite being minutes from downtown. Tree‑lined streets and historic homes sit beside modern shopping centers. Locals and visitors enjoy browsing national brands at Trenholm Plaza, from Anthropologie and J.Crew to lululemon, alongside unique boutiques like Fab’rik. After shopping, you can grab a wood‑fired pizza at Tazza Kitchen, savor handcrafted pasta at family‑run Pasta Fresca, or visit The Other Store, a general‑store‑style cafe known for its chicken salad, Greek turkey sandwiches and homemade layer cakes. Health‑conscious diners love Verde’s fresh salads, wraps and eco‑friendly practices. With its mix of classic charm and modern amenities, Forest Acres is a delightful place to live - but aging homes and mature trees also bring plumbing challenges.
Many houses here were built decades ago and feature original pipes and fixtures. Aging galvanized or cast‑iron pipes can corrode, reducing water quality and pressure. Mature oak and pine trees add beauty but send roots into sewer lines, causing blockages. Seasonal storms and heavy rainfall test drainage systems, and older homes may lack proper backflow prevention. When residents remodel or add on to their homes, they often need to integrate modern plumbing with existing infrastructure. Dr. Rooter’s technicians appreciate these challenges and offer solutions that preserve the character of your home while ensuring reliable water flow.
