Cornelius homes and their plumbing
Neighborhoods from the late 1980s and early 1990s may still have polybutylene supply lines. Larger lake homes often have two water heaters, recirculation pumps and irrigation systems with backflow assemblies that need annual testing.
Two water heaters, same age
Lake homes built with two tank heaters usually had both installed on the same day. When one fails, it's worth checking the other's age before scheduling a second emergency.
Irrigation and backflow
Irrigated lawns are common here, and testable backflow assemblies near the irrigation tap need an annual test. A freeze can crack an exposed assembly.
Long hot-water waits
In large floor plans the far bathroom can be 60 feet or more of pipe from the heater. A recirculation pump or point-of-use heater fixes the wait without repiping.
