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 Sumter/Lake/Marion County with same-day diagnostic visits.
