Hurricane and flood season
Storm surge and heavy rain can back up sewers and flood low-lying homes, and many owners add backwater valves.
Elevated homes
Raised homes have plumbing running under the house, exposed to weather and occasional freezes.
Salt air corrosion
Exposed metal fixtures and outdoor plumbing near the beach corrode faster than inland.
Post-Katrina construction
Homes rebuilt after 2005 often have newer PEX supply and elevated designs, while older inland homes still have original cast iron and copper that are reaching the end of their life.
Humidity and water heaters
Garage and closet water heaters in Gulfport's humid climate corrode faster at connections, and drain pans and relief lines should be checked during any replacement.
