Plumbing questions, answered for Rising Sun-Lebanon

Rising Sun-Lebanon sits in Delaware'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 corroded copper pipe and fittings in the humid air and slow drains and clogs from saturated soil and roots. We spec pipe, fittings, and fixtures for local conditions, not a generic catalog spec.

The call we get most in Rising Sun-Lebanon is corroded copper pipe and fittings in the humid air.
