Plumbing questions, answered for Reynolds Heights

Reynolds Heights 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 slow drains from grease that congeals in the cold and flooded basements after thaw and heavy rain. We spec pipe, fittings, and fixtures for local conditions, not a generic catalog spec.

Most Reynolds Heights homes were built around 1967, and 69% predate 1980 — so a lot of them still run their original supply pipe and water heaters, well past service life. We check pipe condition, water-heater age, and shut-off valves on every visit.
