Plumbing questions, answered for Kerhonkson

Kerhonkson 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 sump pumps overwhelmed by seasonal snowmelt and flooded basements after thaw and heavy rain. We spec pipe, fittings, and fixtures for local conditions, not a generic catalog spec.

First check the basics: on a gas unit, see whether the pilot or burner is lit; on an electric unit, check the breaker and the reset button on the thermostat.

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