Plumbing questions, answered for New Wilmington

New Wilmington sits in Pennsylvania'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 burst supply lines during deep winter freezes and sewer laterals cracked by frost heave. We spec pipe, fittings, and fixtures for local conditions, not a generic catalog spec.

The call we get most in New Wilmington is burst supply lines during deep winter freezes.
