Is the age of Chipley a guide to the pipes in my home?

Chipley was renamed from Orange in 1882, incorporated in 1901, and became the Washington County seat in 1927. Growth came at a slow and steady pace and left a wide mix of house ages. That is useful background, but it does not decide the pipe. What sits under one floor depends on the year that house was built and whether it has been repiped, so give the technician the build year if you know it.

A home check before the call in Chipley

A few checks before you call help the person on the line understand what is happening at your Chipley home.

Start hereA ten-minute check

Make the house quiet. No showers, no laundry, no sprinkler cycle. A still house is what lets the meter tell the truth.
Walk the floors. Feel for a warm patch on tile or slab, press along baseboards for softness and listen for a faint hiss or trickle. Do this room by room in your Chipley home.
Read the meter twice. Write down the reading, wait fifteen minutes with no water in use, then read it again. A changed number at your Chipley property is worth a call. See the water meter leak check.
Check the bills. A steady climb in usage, not a one-off spike, is the pattern that points to a hidden leak.
Then make the call. Have the meter numbers, the spots you noticed and the date you first saw a change ready.

Straight answers, no pressure.
