Roughly 45% of local homes predate 1960. Galvanized and early copper plumbing may be present in some of them. The typical home in the ZIP codes around Bunceton was built in the 1960s. Copper-era plumbing can still cause broad water damage when a joint opens suddenly. Prompt extraction limits continued soaking. Drying continues after the pipe itself is fixed.
Warm-climate construction may leave pipes in less protected spaces. A cold snap can catch those lines. Attic water can run down framing into lower rooms.
