Plumbing conditions in North Carolina
North Carolina has humid with hot summers, mild winters and hurricanes near the coast. Many crawl-space homes, red clay soils and heavy tree cover; mountain homes face steeper freezes.
Hard freezes are infrequent in North Carolina, so many homes have pipes in attics, crawl spaces and exterior walls with little insulation. When a rare cold snap does arrive, burst pipes spike across the area within a day or two.
North Carolina generally has soft to moderately soft water. Scale is less of a problem, but soft, slightly acidic water can be harder on older copper pipes, which can develop pinhole leaks over time.

- Hurricanes and tropical storm flooding
