Plumbing conditions in Virginia
Virginia has humid with hot summers, cool winters and coastal storms. Older homes with basements in Northern Virginia and Richmond, and low coastal homes in Hampton Roads.
Virginia gets real cold snaps most winters. They are short, which is exactly why homeowners get caught out: hose bibs left connected, pipes along outside walls and uninsulated crawl-space lines are the usual failures.
Water hardness in Virginia is moderate in most systems, so scale is a slow, long-term issue rather than a constant one. Private wells vary widely and are worth testing.
