Common Plumbing Problems in McKittrick

Hard groundwater and summer heat are the main factors here. Half of the homes in McKittrick were built before about 1938. Houses from that era often still have galvanized steel water lines, which rust from the inside and choke flow, along with cast iron and clay drains that are near the end of their service life.

Groundwater here is hard and can carry minerals that build up in water heaters, so whole-home filtration and softeners are common requests.
Expansive soils shift with irrigation and the seasons, stressing slab plumbing and buried lines.
Rural properties on wells need pump and pressure tank service that city homes never think about.
