Frequently asked questions
A rental sat empty over the break and something let go. What happens?
It runs until somebody arrives. A supply line that fails in an unoccupied house continues for as long as the building is empty, and in winter a frozen line is often what caused the break in the first place. Shutting the water off at the main before a long vacancy prevents most of it.
The ground moves all winter here. What does that do to a wall?
It works it slowly. Frost drives deep into clay till and stays there for months, so a foundation carries sustained lateral pressure long before any melt arrives. Cracks that get noticed in March generally opened in January under load, and the water only made them visible.
The house was split into apartments decades ago. What does that change?
The plumbing, mostly. Conversions add kitchens and baths to a system sized for one household, usually in stages and rarely to a drawing. More fixtures run through older drains, and the added work is the part nobody has a record of.
