South Duxbury sits in Massachusetts'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 flooded basements after thaw and heavy rain. We spec pipe, fittings, and fixtures for local conditions, not a generic catalog spec.
