Salt air corrosion on fixtures and supply lines
Why it happens here
Homes within a mile of Vanderbilt Beach get a constant dose of salt air, which corrodes metal fixtures, supply lines, and shut-off valves faster than inland. A valve that would last 20 years inland can seize in 10 here.
Our approach
We inspect supply lines and valves on every beach-side call, replace corroded parts with corrosion-resistant materials, and use Teflon tape and plumber's putty to seal connections properly.
