Plumbing conditions in Connecticut
Connecticut has four seasons with cold winters, nor'easters and humid summers. Old housing stock with many pre-1950 homes, basements, cast-iron drains and oil or gas boilers.
Deep winter freezes are routine in Connecticut. Pipes in exterior walls, crawl spaces, garages and unheated basements can freeze and split, and the leak often starts only when the ice thaws. Insulating exposed lines, keeping heat on in vacant homes and knowing where the main shutoff is are the best protection.
Connecticut generally has soft to moderately soft water. Scale is less of a problem, but soft, slightly acidic water can be harder on older copper pipes, which can develop pinhole leaks over time.
