Clairton climate
by the numbers
Clairton's unique plumbing challenges
About 103 nights a year below freezing, when uninsulated crawlspace lines give out
The oldest blocks in town run plumbing decades older than the newer builds toward Lincoln
First frost typically lands around November 3
Seasonal timing
The swing from a 85 degree July high down to a 24 degree February low is what a tank works against, and the cold end of that range is where a worn one quits.

A relief line that weeps is telling you something upstream is wrong, usually pressure or a thermostat that has drifted high. It is a safety device, so it should be diagnosed rather than capped.
Hardness varies street to street, and in the limestone ground of this region it runs high enough that scale on the tank floor and in the fittings is a genuine factor. A plumber can look at what your fixtures are doing and say whether treatment is worth it.
Follow the cold line back from the water meter toward the street wall of the basement, since that's where it almost always sits in housing of this age. If there's no interior valve at all, a plumber can add one.
Ten to fifteen years is the usual range, and hard winters push tanks toward the short end because the burner lifts water a long way in temperature on roughly 103 freezing nights a year. Past twelve years, a stretched recovery time is a fair reason to have it checked.
