Lexington sits in Kentucky'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 slow drains and clogs from saturated soil and roots. We spec pipe, fittings, and fixtures for local conditions, not a generic catalog spec.

Often just the failed section. If the surrounding pipe is still sound and the leak is isolated, a spot repair on your Lexington line is far cheaper than a full repipe.

When the pipe is old galvanized steel throughout, we'll walk you through why repiping pays off long term.

First check the basics: on a gas unit, see whether the pilot or burner is lit; on an electric unit, check the breaker and the reset button on the thermostat.
