What's different about pipe repair in York County
About 11% of the covered towns' homes predate 1960, when galvanized steel supply pipe was standard; it corrodes from inside and narrows. Some homes built or replumbed from the late 1970s to mid-1990s have polybutylene, which fails at fittings.
Supply lines in crawl spaces and near foundation vents freeze first in hard cold; insulating them and closing vents during freezes prevents most freeze repairs.
