Palo Alto climate
by the numbers
Palo Alto's unique plumbing challenges
About 119 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 Mechanicsville
First frost typically lands around October 30
Seasonal timing
February's 22 degree average low is the point where an old stack and the cold masonry around it stop moving together, which is what opens up a hub joint.

People also ask
Water hammer, caused by a fast-closing valve with nowhere for the pressure spike to go. On old plumbing it works joints loose over time. An arrestor or a functioning air chamber is the usual answer.
Air is being pulled through the trap because the vent or the stack can't clear fast enough. On an older iron system that usually points to restriction rather than a design fault. It's worth looking at before the line backs up entirely.
Usually somewhere between 50 and 80 years, though water chemistry and the pitch of the line matter as much as the calendar does. Rust builds inward, so the pipe narrows well before it leaks. A camera inspection is what tells you where a given stack actually stands.
