Mount Pleasant sits in South 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 sewer backups after heavy thunderstorms and running and leaking toilets. We spec pipe, fittings, and fixtures for local conditions, not a generic catalog spec.
