How long water runs before anyone knows: the four things that set that clock, laid out once for the whole state.
Where water hides in Cheraw
Found on a return visit or after a cold night, a leak anywhere in Cheraw reaches an independent contractor who works the area on one call. Forty-one of Cheraw's 98 homes were built before 1940, and a handful still heat with oil or wood.
Age of the homes
Just 22.4 percent of the homes in Cheraw are newer than 1989, with the median dating to 1950, the era that decided where these buildings' pipes run, including any that pass through unheated space. The median house dates to 1950, so much of the town's plumbing was fitted into walls and crawl spaces built before modern insulation.
Freeze and thaw
Nights in Cheraw normally fall below freezing 5 months of the year, deepest in January at 12.7 degrees, the stretch when a line in unheated space can freeze with nobody there to notice; July is the wettest month at 2.41 of 13.29 inches a year, rain recorded at CHERAW .15 NNE 0.1 miles away and temperatures at CHERAW 1 N 0.5 miles away. Normal lows drop below freezing from November through March, and July, not winter, is when most of the year's rain arrives.
Failures that go unseen here
- Houses older than 1940, about four in ten, with lines often running where the insulation is thinnest
- Oil and wood stoves in about one home in eleven, whose heat ends when the fuel does
- July downpours, the wettest month, that find the low spots beside a foundation

Frequently asked questions
What goes wrong first in a pre-1940 Cheraw house during a January cold snap?
Usually the line along an outside wall or through the crawl space. Houses of that age tend to have plumbing added after they were built, often in the least protected spots. Opening cabinet doors and keeping the crawl-space vents closed buys the most protection for the least effort.
What should a Cheraw household heating with wood do before leaving overnight?
Arrange a backup heat source that runs on its own, or shut off the water and drain the lowest faucet. A wood stove burns down within hours, and an empty house cools quickly after that.
Do Cheraw's July storms cause water damage too?
They can. July is the wettest month here, and a heavy storm can put water into a basement or crawl space through a low spot beside the foundation. Checking gutters and the grade around the house before summer helps.
