Most homes are on slabs over clay soils, with copper or PEX supply and cast iron drains in older neighborhoods. Salt air corrodes outdoor plumbing and water heater fittings near the bay and on the island, and hurricanes bring storm surge, flooding and power outages that affect drains and equipment.
Housing & construction
Mid-century homes in older neighborhoods, newer slab homes on the south side, and beach and island homes on North Padre and Mustang Island.
