Plumbing in South Carolina

South Carolina splits plumbing licensing between two boards under the Department of Labor, Licensing and Regulation: the Residential Builders Commission covers single family and multi family homes up to three stories, while the Contractor's Licensing Board handles larger commercial work, and any residential plumbing job over $200 in materials and labor requires a Residential Specialty Plumbing Contractor license, with a business and law exam required alongside the trade exam. Housing stock adds its own wrinkle: many older Lowcountry homes around Charleston and Beaufort were built up on piers with plumbing runs exposed in vented crawlspaces, where salt laden coastal air speeds up corrosion on copper and galvanized fittings faster than it would inland. Move into the Piedmont around Greenville and Spartanburg and the ground itself changes, with denser red clay that drains slowly and can shift enough over wet and dry cycles to stress buried water and sewer lines running beneath a home's foundation.
