Plumbing questions, answered for Romancoke

Romancoke sits in Maryland'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 sewer backups after heavy thunderstorms. We spec pipe, fittings, and fixtures for local conditions, not a generic catalog spec.

Most Romancoke homes were built around 1977, and 68% predate 1980 — so a lot of them still run their original supply pipe and fixtures, well past service life. We check pipe condition, fixture age, and shut-off valves on every visit.
