Plumbing questions, answered for Klamath Falls

Klamath Falls sits in Oregon's cool, wet Pacific coast — a cool, wet maritime climate — abundant rainfall, frequent fog, and damp, salt-tinged onshore wind much of the year. That's hard on a home's plumbing: heavy rainfall that overwhelms yard drains and floods crawlspaces and salt-laden onshore wind that corrodes copper pipe and brass fittings all accelerate wear on pipes, fittings, and water heaters, so the failures we see most here are clogged yard and foundation drains after heavy rain and sewer laterals infiltrated by groundwater. We spec pipe, fittings, and fixtures for local conditions, not a generic catalog spec.

The call we get most in Klamath Falls is clogged yard and foundation drains after heavy rain.
