Plumbing questions, answered for Carlisle

Carlisle 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 frozen exterior spigots and hose bibs and burst supply lines during deep winter freezes. We spec pipe, fittings, and fixtures for local conditions, not a generic catalog spec.
