Plumbing questions, answered for Stone Ridge

Stone Ridge 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 flooded basements after thaw and heavy rain and sewer laterals cracked by frost heave. We spec pipe, fittings, and fixtures for local conditions, not a generic catalog spec.
