Plumbing conditions in Kentucky
Kentucky has humid with hot summers, cold snaps in winter and heavy spring rain. Older homes with basements in Louisville and Lexington, and many rural homes on wells.
Kentucky gets real cold snaps most winters. They are short, which is exactly why homeowners get caught out: hose bibs left connected, pipes along outside walls and uninsulated crawl-space lines are the usual failures.
Much of Kentucky has hard water. Scale builds up in water heaters and fixtures over time, which shows up as popping noises in the tank, weak shower flow and crusty aerators.
