Climate and Water: What Lancaster Pipes Are Up Against

Red-brick historic core. Focus: Copper-to-PEX retrofitting and high-efficiency tankless upgrades for narrow, vertical rowhouses. Those cycles matter more than most homeowners expect: expansion, contraction and soil moisture move fittings and stress joints year after year.
