What that means for a call
With a median build year of 1968 and about 68% of homes standing before 1980, Spartanburg has a lot of housing that predates modern shutoffs, wiring, and drain materials. That does not mean every repair is a system replacement, but the age of the house is worth mentioning on the call.
Local watch-outs
- Keep gutters and downspouts clear before storm season. If water reaches an outlet or a panel, stop and call an electrician rather than resetting the breaker.
- Pool pumps and heaters work harder in a long hot season. Know the breaker and the shutoff before a problem, and keep the equipment pad clear.
- Older homes often have original shutoffs, wiring, and drain lines. Ask the pro to show you the failed part before approving a replacement.
