Plumbing conditions in South Carolina
South Carolina has hot, humid summers and mild winters, with hurricanes on the coast. Crawl-space and slab homes, older historic homes on the coast and many newer suburbs.
Hard freezes are infrequent in South 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.
South 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.
