What 1987 tells you about the pipe in Clemson
Housing of this vintage generally means copper throughout in most cases, with polybutylene fitted in some homes built from the late seventies onward. Polybutylene was discontinued in the mid-nineties and is worth identifying, because its failures are sudden rather than gradual. More on 1980s supply pipe.
42% of occupied homes in Clemson are owner-occupied, 37 points below the SC figure of 79%. It matters here because the run between the meter and the house belongs to the property owner, not the utility.
Median household income across Clemson ZIP codes is $50,217, 23% below the SC median of $65,603.
Before calling anyone in Clemson, check whether every tap is weak or just one. Normal supply is 45–80 psi and under 40 psi is low — how to test it in a minute. Whole house is a supply problem worth a call; one tap is usually a five-minute job you can do yourself.
