Plumbing conditions in Montana
Montana has cold winters with arctic blasts and mild, dry summers. Many older homes with basements and a high share of rural wells and septic.
Deep winter freezes are routine in Montana. 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.
Much of Montana has hard water. Scale builds up in water heaters and fixtures over time, which shows up as popping noises in the tank, weak shower flow and crusty aerators.
