Hilltop is an older Tacoma neighborhood of early and mid-1900s homes, small apartment buildings and newer infill.
Older homes in Hilltop may have older wiring, and a job that looks simple can show something unexpected, which we tell you about before going further.
In Hilltop, a mix of old and new work on the same street means supply and drain pipe can be very different from one house to the next.
