What that means for a call
Clovis's housing dates to 1975 at the median, with about 60% before 1980. The local winter is mostly mild, which is exactly why a short freeze can catch exposed plumbing. Know where the main valve is and disconnect garden hoses before the first cold night.
Local watch-outs
- A hard freeze is occasional here, which is exactly when exposed pipes catch people out. Find the main shutoff now, before you need it.
- During smoke events, keep HVAC filters clean and check exterior vents, soffits, and roof edges for places where embers or smoke can enter.
- Hard water shortens the life of water heaters, faucets, and shower valves. Regular descaling or a softener can reduce the scale, but it will not fix a failed part.
- Older homes often have original shutoffs, wiring, and drain lines. Ask the pro to show you the failed part before approving a replacement.
