Plumbing questions, answered for West Hattiesburg

West Hattiesburg sits in Mississippi'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 storm-driven flooding that overwhelms sump pumps. We spec pipe, fittings, and fixtures for local conditions, not a generic catalog spec.
