Plumbing questions, answered for Rutgers University-Livingston Campus

Rutgers University-Livingston Campus sits in New Jersey'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 rusted water heater tanks in the muggy climate and pitted galvanized pipe on older homes. We spec pipe, fittings, and fixtures for local conditions, not a generic catalog spec.
