Washington climate
by the numbers
Washington's unique plumbing challenges
About 136 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 Ainsworth
First frost typically lands around October 17
Seasonal timing
Washington's median first frost lands around October 17, the same date it lands in Ottumwa to the west. A transition joint between an older core and a later addition is exactly the kind of weak point that tends to show itself right after that first hard freeze sets in.

Often yes. The transition point between an original structure and a later addition is a common source of trouble, and a second look sometimes finds the actual weak joint faster than the first estimate did.
