Plumbing questions, answered for Lake Norman of Catawba

Most Lake Norman of Catawba homes were built around 1999, and 21% predate 1980 — so a lot of them still run their original supply pipe and water heaters, well past service life. We check pipe condition, water-heater age, and shut-off valves on every visit.

The call we get most in Lake Norman of Catawba is rusted water heater tanks in the muggy climate.
