Plumbing questions, answered for Flower Hill

Flower Hill sits in New York's continental-climate region — a humid continental climate — hot, humid summers and cold, snowy winters, with sharp freeze-thaw swings between seasons. That's hard on a home's plumbing: freeze-thaw cycles that crack pipe and split fittings and deep winter cold that freezes exposed and uninsulated supply lines all accelerate wear on pipes, fittings, and water heaters, so the failures we see most here are frozen exterior spigots and hose bibs and failing water heaters strained by cold inlet water. We spec pipe, fittings, and fixtures for local conditions, not a generic catalog spec.
