We just finished a job in Monterey where the main water line split. The cause wasn’t surprising: older piping + years of exposure to the salty coastal air. These conditions accelerate corrosion and stress water systems faster than people expect.
Once a line breaks, the consequences ripple quickly—higher utility costs, foundation damage, mold, and expensive structural repairs. In this case, we changed out the damaged pipe, reset the pressure regulator, and added a new faucet connection.
The bigger picture: coastal infrastructure ages differently. Regular inspections and proactive maintenance aren’t just good practice—they’re essential in protecting property value and avoiding crisis repairs.
