Plumbing
Appropriately designed plumbing systems in climates that are subject to freezing temperatures are of utmost importance. All components of the water system must be evaluated carefully, including storage, supply, waste, vent, and septic systems. The more extreme the conditions, the more critical the need for a properly designed system becomes. Proper plumbing design, materials, installation, and service will insure your water needs are met no matter the conditions in the frigid north.
The Cold Climate Housing Research Center offers information on cold climate plumbing.
