Corrugated stainless steel tubing is common in newer homes, especially in attics. CSST can be damaged by nails, rodents or lightning, and older yellow jacket CSST needs proper bonding. We repair damaged sections with manufacturer-approved fittings and verify bonding to the electrical system. This reduces the risk of a lightning-related leak during severe storms. Drought years alternate with very wet years here, so conservation rules and low-flow fixtures are a constant part of plumbing decisions.
