Hurricane season
Storm surge and heavy rain flood low areas and back up sewers.
Hard water
Mineral-heavy water shortens water heater life.
Salt air
Outdoor plumbing near the bay corrodes faster.
Water supply and drought
Corpus Christi relies on reservoirs that have run low in recent droughts, and the city has adopted water restrictions that make leaks more costly.
Slab leaks
Clay soils and hard water stress pipes under slab foundations, causing leaks found by warm spots or high bills.
Winter freezes
The 2021 winter storm burst pipes across the Coastal Bend, especially in attics and exterior walls.
Older neighborhoods near downtown
Homes from the mid-1900s near downtown and along Ocean Drive often have cast-iron drains and galvanized supply that are reaching the end of their life, especially where salt air and humidity speed up corrosion.
