Local Insight

Bloomington's rental properties near campus see accelerated plumbing wear from high tenant turnover — garbage disposals, supply lines, and water heaters fail years earlier than owner-occupied homes.

Seasonal Tip

Southern Indiana winters bring sustained freezes and occasional ice storms. Keep cabinet doors open under kitchen sinks on exterior walls and maintain interior heat above 55°F when traveling — Bloomington's older homes often have plumbing in unheated crawl spaces.
