Plumbing in Corpus Christi: what to know
Corpus Christi faces hurricane storm surge and salty, hard water that corrodes fixtures and water heaters.
Hard freezes are infrequent in Corpus Christi, 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.
Much of Corpus Christi 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.
Nueces County and Texas housing: Mostly slab-on-grade homes on expansive clay soils, where foundation movement cracks pipes under the slab.

- Drain CleaningProfessional drain cleaning clears clogs with a drain cable (snake) or water jetting, then checks whether the clog is local to one fixture or in the main line.
