Hume climate
by the numbers
Hume's unique plumbing challenges
About 143 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 Granger
First frost typically lands around October 18
Seasonal timing
About 8 nights a year fall below zero, and that is the stretch when a roof vent frosts nearly shut and the drains start talking back.

That's a venting problem. A big slug of water from the washer pulls air behind it, and if the vent can't supply that air the drain takes it through the nearest trap instead, which is the toilet. It gets worse as a vent partly blocks.
That points at the tub's own branch line rather than the main, since a shared main would slow both. Hair and soap build at the trap arm on tubs. If clearing the branch doesn't hold for long, the vent on that branch is the next thing.
Traps dry out and the place starts smelling of sewer gas, which surprises people who shut the water off and thought that covered it. Draining the lines and putting a little antifreeze in the traps is the usual approach for a seasonal house near Caneadea.
In a house with a full basement it's usually on the street-facing wall, near where the service line comes through, with the meter close by. Older houses here sometimes have the valve buried behind finished walls. Finding it before a bad night is worth the ten minutes.
