Plumbing conditions in New Mexico
New Mexico has dry, sunny and high elevation, with cold nights and summer monsoon storms. Many adobe and stucco homes with flat roofs, and slab construction.
New Mexico gets real cold snaps most winters. They are short, which is exactly why homeowners get caught out: hose bibs left connected, pipes along outside walls and uninsulated crawl-space lines are the usual failures.
Much of New Mexico has hard water. Scale builds up in water heaters and fixtures over time, which shows up as popping noises in the tank, weak shower flow and crusty aerators.
