South Glens Falls 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 sewer laterals cracked by frost heave and sump pumps overwhelmed by seasonal snowmelt. We spec pipe, fittings, and fixtures for local conditions, not a generic catalog spec.
