Cold Spring sits in New York's continental-climate region — a humid continental climate — hot, humid summers and cold, snowy winters, with sharp freeze-thaw swings between seasons. That's hard on a home's plumbing: freeze-thaw cycles that crack pipe and split fittings and deep winter cold that freezes exposed and uninsulated supply lines all accelerate wear on pipes, fittings, and water heaters, so the failures we see most here are slow drains from grease that congeals in the cold and burst supply lines during deep winter freezes. We spec pipe, fittings, and fixtures for local conditions, not a generic catalog spec.

Most Cold Spring homes were built around 1951, and 85% predate 1980 — so a lot of them still run their original supply pipe and water heaters, well past service life. We check pipe condition, water-heater age, and shut-off valves on every visit.
