Storm response on Bahama's milling-era supply lines
Bahama's economy grew up around the Lynchburg & Durham Railroad and the Tilley Brothers' Roller Mill, with a post office, stores, and a school in place by the early 1900s. Supply and drain lines added to that era's buildings were never engineered for a storm on the scale of Hurricane Fran, which dropped more than 8 inches of rain on central North Carolina when it came through on Sept. 5, 1996.
Rural lots and older plumbing under storm loads
On Bahama's lower-density, wooded lots, older cast-iron or galvanized lines from the milling era are more likely to back up or fail under a heavy-rain event than newer PEX or PVC systems. A restoration response benefits from knowing the age of a property's plumbing before the extent of a leak is fully understood.
