Homes in Del City
Most of Del City’s homes date from the 1950s and 1960s. The median home was built in 1964, and about 57% were built between 1950 and 1969.
Homes from those decades are now roughly 55 to 75 years old. Drain lines under the slab, original shut-off valves and supply lines patched over the years are common places for a leak to start.
