Before the spring thaw peaks, disconnect and drain your garden hoses. A hose bib that freezes and bursts can flood a foundation wall. Our winter lows around 26°F mean unprotected exterior fixtures are at risk. This simple five-minute task prevents one of the most common seasonal calls we get.

Copper pipes from the late 1970s are prone to pinhole leaks due to a combination of age and our local water chemistry. Over 49 years, microscopic corrosion weakens the pipe wall. A specific failure point is where the copper meets galvanized steel at old water heaters, causing accelerated corrosion without a proper dielectric union.

In a developed area like this, the main risk is often the sewer lateral from your house to the municipal main. Tree roots seek out the moisture and minor cracks in older pipes. A complete clog or break there is your responsibility to repair. A video inspection can assess its condition before it becomes an emergency.

From our shop, a common dispatch route heads past the Greentree Shopping Center onto I-295. This allows us to reach most homes in the area within 30 to 45 minutes, barring major traffic delays. Knowing the main arteries helps us plan for the quickest arrival.

Plumbing installed in 1977 is now 49 years old. Copper from that era in this area is entering its failure window. Homeowners here are seeing pinhole leaks, especially where pipes touch masonry or in unconditioned crawlspaces. The solder joints have also been under stress for decades, making them the most likely points for a sudden leak.

The low-lying terrain can slow the natural drainage of stormwater away from your property. This puts constant, subtle hydrostatic pressure on your home's foundation and the main sewer lateral. Over time, this can lead to a compromised pipe joint or intrusion, which is why we often see root growth in lines here.

Yes, the mineral content leads to significant scale buildup. Inside a water heater, this scale acts as an insulator, forcing the unit to work harder and fail sooner. On faucets and shower valves, it causes cartridge failures and reduced flow. An annual flush of your water heater can mitigate some of this damage.
