Plumbing conditions in South Dakota
South Dakota has very cold winters and warm summers. Mostly basement homes with very hard water.
Deep winter freezes are routine in South Dakota. 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.
Water across much of South Dakota is very hard. Minerals build up inside water heaters, tankless units, faucet cartridges and shower valves, so these parts wear out faster and water heaters benefit from yearly flushing. A water softener is common here.
