Blennerhassett sits in West Virginia'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 sewer laterals cracked by frost heave. We spec pipe, fittings, and fixtures for local conditions, not a generic catalog spec.
