Plumbing questions, answered for Merton

Merton sits in Wisconsin's cold northern climate — a cold northern climate of long, snowy winters, deep sub-freezing cold, and short, warm summers. That's hard on a home's plumbing: deep sub-freezing cold that freezes and bursts supply lines and a long frost season that keeps buried pipe cold enough to crack all accelerate wear on pipes, fittings, and water heaters, so the failures we see most here are frozen exterior spigots through much of winter and sump pumps overrun by seasonal snowmelt. We spec pipe, fittings, and fixtures for local conditions, not a generic catalog spec.

When the pipe is old galvanized steel throughout, we'll walk you through why repiping pays off long term.
