Heidelberg climate
by the numbers
Heidelberg's unique plumbing challenges
About 100 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 Carnegie
First frost typically lands around November 3
Seasonal timing
With about 1 sub-zero nights on top of roughly 100 freezing ones, cold has time to reach the far corners of a basement that nobody heats.

It depends on age and on how much of the wall thickness is left. The vertical stack usually outlives the horizontal run into the lateral. A plumber can scope it rather than guess.
Shared walls usually mean the plumbing was built to a common plan, so what fails in one house on the row tends to appear in the next. The wall itself stays warmer than an exterior one, which helps in winter. The trade-off is that a leak inside it is harder to reach.
Yours, from the foundation out to the main. Houses of the same era near Green Tree tend to have the same clay lateral and the same recurring problem with it. The sewer authority can confirm where their responsibility begins.
A crawlspace is unconditioned space, so the pipe there is effectively outdoors. The rooms above stay warm because the floor is insulated, which actually makes the crawlspace colder. That combination is behind most of the frozen-line calls in older houses here.
