Staten Island 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 failing water heaters strained by cold inlet water and corroded service lines from road salt and groundwater. We spec pipe, fittings, and fixtures for local conditions, not a generic catalog spec.

The call we get most in Staten Island is failing water heaters strained by cold inlet water.
