Plumbing questions, answered for Kearns

Kearns sits in Utah's semi-arid interior — a semi-arid climate of hot, dry summers, cold winters, low rainfall, and wide day-to-night temperature swings. That's hard on a home's plumbing: extreme summer heat that pushes water heaters and expansion tanks hard and hard, mineral-rich water that scales pipes, valves, and heaters all accelerate wear on pipes, fittings, and water heaters, so the failures we see most here are clogged aerators and fixture screens from grit and scale and sediment-packed water heaters straining in the heat. We spec pipe, fittings, and fixtures for local conditions, not a generic catalog spec.
