What makes Archer leak detection distinct

Small agricultural town southwest of Gainesville. Inland — no salt-air; lightning capital with intense afternoon convective storms; freeze risk 4–8 nights/year. The dominant 1920s–40s craftsman + 1950s–80s ranch + 2000s+ master-plan construction era determines the failure modes we see most often, and type l copper + polybutylene cluster + cpvc + pex-a as the supply baseline tells us what we'll find behind walls. We respond across Alachua County with same-day diagnostic visits.
