Shenandoah sits in Texas'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 high water pressure straining aging fittings and corroded copper pipe and fittings in the humid air. We spec pipe, fittings, and fixtures for local conditions, not a generic catalog spec.
