Plumbing questions, answered for Gardnerville Ranchos

Gardnerville Ranchos sits in Nevada's arid desert region — an arid desert climate — extreme summer heat, intense year-round UV, negligible rainfall, and blowing sand and dust. That's hard on a home's plumbing: 120°F summer heat that overworks water heaters and expansion tanks and very hard, mineral-laden water that scales pipes and clogs fixtures all accelerate wear on pipes, fittings, and water heaters, so the failures we see most here are UV-split hose bibs and exposed PVC and dripping faucets and heat-hardened seals. We spec pipe, fittings, and fixtures for local conditions, not a generic catalog spec.

First check the basics: on a gas unit, see whether the pilot or burner is lit; on an electric unit, check the breaker and the reset button on the thermostat.
