Pennsylvania has moderate water with hardness of 5–15 grains per gallon. Common issues in this area include freeze damage in cold winters, aging cast iron and galvanized drain lines, basement sump pump failures during spring rain, water heater sediment buildup.
Hard freeze winters put exposed pipes in crawl spaces and older homes at high risk of bursting. Spring snowmelt strains basement drainage systems.
