Plumbing questions, answered for Veazie

Veazie sits in Maine's cold northern climate — a cold northern climate of long, snowy winters, deep sub-freezing cold, and short, warm summers. That's hard on a home's plumbing: deep sub-freezing cold that freezes and bursts supply lines and a long frost season that keeps buried pipe cold enough to crack all accelerate wear on pipes, fittings, and water heaters, so the failures we see most here are frozen exterior spigots through much of winter and split pipe and cracked fittings from freeze-thaw. We spec pipe, fittings, and fixtures for local conditions, not a generic catalog spec.

The call we get most in Veazie is frozen exterior spigots through much of winter. Local housing is mainly suburban houses with their own service lateral and water heater, mixed with some older central-neighborhood homes, so split pipe and cracked fittings from freeze-thaw turns up often too.
