Plumbing conditions in Rhode Island
Rhode Island has cold winters, nor'easters and coastal storms. Old triple-deckers and colonials with basements and aging plumbing.
Deep winter freezes are routine in Rhode Island. 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.
Rhode Island 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.
