Penn climate
by the numbers
Penn's unique plumbing challenges
About 116 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 Jeannette
First frost typically lands around October 28
Seasonal timing
About 116 nights a year drop below freezing, and over that stretch a waste line running through an outside wall chase gets no help at all from the house.

Not always. A damaged section can be cut out and replaced on its own, though on a stack that has failed in one place the rest is the same age and often the same condition. Inspecting the full run is what settles the question.
A dried-out floor drain trap is the usual reason, since nothing runs into it for months and the water seal evaporates. A rusted-through stack will do it too. Either way, sewer gas is getting past a seal meant to hold it back.
Usually yes for anything below grade or structural, and the local code office is who confirms it. The requirement is about getting the new work inspected, not about the size of the job.
Yes, at the joints. Roots follow moisture to a weeping hub or a cracked section and then thicken inside the pipe until flow drops. It's a routine finding on older laterals in yards with mature trees.
