Plumbing questions, answered for Mars Hill

Mars Hill sits in North Carolina's humid subtropical region — a humid subtropical climate — long, hot, muggy summers, mild winters, heavy thunderstorms, and high year-round humidity. That's hard on a home's plumbing: high year-round humidity that sweats and corrodes copper pipe and summer heat and moisture that strain water heaters all accelerate wear on pipes, fittings, and water heaters, so the failures we see most here are running and leaking toilets and clogged floor and yard drains after storms. We spec pipe, fittings, and fixtures for local conditions, not a generic catalog spec.

The call we get most in Mars Hill is running and leaking toilets. Local housing is mainly suburban houses with their own service lateral and water heater, mixed with some older central-neighborhood homes, so clogged floor and yard drains after storms turns up often too.
